5Great tour
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.
5Funny and knowledgeable.
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.

About Bath
Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.
Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Top-ranked sights in Bath: Roman Baths, Royal Crescent, The Circus.
