Despite the cold and non-stop rain, we had a really interesting walk/talk with Paul yesterday. He's very knowledgeable about all things Bath and we learned and saw a lot that we would have completely missed.
Thank you. It has been a wet start to the year. A liitle bit of sunshine in my tour.
We had a fantastic tour of Bath with Paul. It was extra special as it was just with me, my wife and son. Even though it was a small group for Paul he still gave us his full attention. Paul was so knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning all about the history of Bath. Fantastic city. We loved Paul's humour. He was very witty and made the tour great fun. Brilliant job Paul.
Thank you. I try my best to show all sides of Bath

Bath is fascinating, thanks for appreciating my interpretation of the City. Paul Elliott as City of Bath Guides
It covers a wide range of the history of Bath, particularly the architectural background of Bath, with many interesting, sometimes amusing anecdotes. Being a long lived resident himself with a special affinity with Bath, Paul gives his walking tour an extra bit of character.
Many thanks. I really am a Bath expert. Paul Elliott

Our walking tour of bath with Paul as our guide was fantastic. We learned about the history of Bath, its architecture and people. He would point out and talk about things that you would normally just walk by and completely miss! We were so glad we took this tour with him, and we highly recommend it!
