We are wondering if there are any great 1/2 day tours from Bath. We have already been to Stonehenge and Avesbury and Salisbury and Wells so looking for something else that is maybe 6 hours or less of a guided tour.

We did Bath back in 2017 and did a half day walking tour that was good.
Still, you really don't need to take a tour, you can do it yourself.

I think the OP is asking about half day tours that leave from Bath, rather than tours of Bath.

Yes that’s right we are looking to leave Bath for a half day tour.

Bristol has a number of proponents here on the forum. It's a short train ride from Bath. You may be able to do it on your own.

I just thought of something .... this isn't really a "tour" but you can go out and see the American Museum of Bath. I thought it was interesting although as someone who lives in the West I felt it was very skewed to the NE US. When I visited they had a shuttle bus running back and forth from the center of Bath but it looks like that is no longer being offered.

Bradford on Avon is close by and a pretty town. You could also walk the canal towpath to Bathampton and have lunch at a pub. We ate at the Bathampton Mill a few years back and quite enjoyed it.
