From Sunday to Friday there are 10:30 am and 2 pm walks, but only a 10:30 am walk Saturday. In addition, there are evening walks Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 pm May through August. All walks begin in front of Bath Abbey and take two hours. The walk isn\u2019t strenuous and wheelchair users are welcome (the walk will be adjusted to avoid stairs) but the guides are not able to assist with moving the chairs. Guides will not accept tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several paid guided tours of Bath and I\u2019m sure most of them are high quality, but how can you compete with free guides conducted by enthusiastic volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course your schedule may not coincide with the mayor\u2019s guides, so the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VisitBath website (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/visitbath.co.uk\/things-to-do\/tours-sightseeing\/audio-walking-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\">VisitBath website<\/a> offers two free downloadable audio guides, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/visitbath.co.uk\/documents\/site\/World_Heritage_Site_Audio_Tour.zip\" target=\"_blank\">World Heritage Site Audio Tour<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/visitbath.co.uk\/images\/uploads\/site\/In_the_Footsteps_of_Jane_Austen.zip\" target=\"_blank\">In the Footsteps of Jane Austen<\/a>.
