Question 1

What is the "Thermae Bath Spa Booking Scam" scam in Bath?

Accepted Answer

Third-party websites sell "Thermae Bath Spa packages" with inflated prices, booking fees, or non-refundable deposits for what are standard Thermae spa sessions available directly at lower cost on the official website. Some listings add fictitious "concierge" or "priority access" fees. Book Thermae Bath Spa sessions only through the official Thermae website (thermaebathspa.com). There is no queue-jump or priority booking — sessions are time-slotted and sold at fixed official prices. Any third-party markup is unnecessary.

Question 2

What is the "Fake "Official" Roman Baths Audioguide App" scam in Bath?

Accepted Answer

Third-party websites and app store listings sell a "Roman Baths Official Audio Tour" app for £3–5, mimicking the branding of the official attraction. The content is largely plagiarised generic material about Roman history unrelated to Bath, and the app does not function inside the Baths. The official Roman Baths audioguide is included free with every ticket. Download apps only from the link on the official Roman Baths website (romanbaths.co.uk) or wait until inside the attraction, where an audioguide wand is provided at no extra charge with your entry ticket. Do not purchase any app claiming to be the official Roman Baths tour via a Google Ads link or social media ad.
