About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mearsfamily0 contributionsLots of fun.Really enjoyed this. Lots of interesting info. Would recommend gemming up to get some quiz answers. It was a fun quiz though! It’s worth mentioning Bath has very few public toilets and there’s not really time to stop so go before you start! Also the last stop on the tour is the royal crescent. The shop there is lovely and I got a postcard with all the stops which made a lovely souvenir. If you like Bridgerton you will enjoy this.Written 18 January 2025
- E9626CXjaimes0 contributionsBridgerton life on Bath!This was one of the highlights of our trip! Paul was such a great guide and really brought Bridgerton to life for us in Bath. My family had never seen Bridgerton and still loved the tour as Paul was a great guide and it was such a good way to see a lot of Bath. We highly recommend!Written 20 December 2024
- P1301ZEannef0 contributionsFun in Bath!Very enjoyable. Guide really knew his stuff. Anyone thinking of going should swat up on their Bridgeton beforehand. Really fun and highly recommend.Written 17 December 2024
- mabroukae20210 contributionsBridgerton walking tourPaul was brilliant from the start, sooo funny and knowledgeable and we enjoyed every moment. There were spot prizes and questions, so much fun! Highly recommend 👏Written 7 December 2024
- 20raminders0 contributionsAwful experience, rude and obnoxiousVery rude. We arrived at the meet point exactly on time and were met with sarcastic and rude comments in front of the other visitors. Was consistently rude the entire time and the tour itself was boring. Made us feel awkward for not knowing his ridiculous quiz questions as if our lives depended on it. Made the experience feel like torture. We know what happened in Bridgerton, we don’t need every line repeated in his inane retelling! Why not explain the real history behind the landmarks too. He became annoyed when we didn’t stand in the correct place according to his vague instructions. Didn’t make eye contact with us throughout and practically ignored us most of the time - we were the only brown couple in the group. Certainly not worth the price. We couldn’t even stand to finish the tour and left early to enjoy some of the lovely views along the river.Written 1 November 2024
- G652WUclairew0 contributionsAn absolute must for Bridgerton fans!Paul was the most entertaining tour guide. His knowledge of Bath is incredible and his humour had us in stitches of laughter. The tour was informative and Paul kept us interested with the added bonus of a quiz, which we failed miserably! I would recommend Paul to any fans of Bridgerton.Written 27 October 2024
- 212melp0 contributionsA fun tour, packed with loads of informationVery interesting informative and fun walking tour. Took about two hours - and packed with opportunities to take photos, with so many little nuggets of information, we really enjoyed it.Written 26 October 2024
- tannercl0 contributionsPaul was great! Recommend!Paul was fantastic! We didn’t know what exactly to expect going in but we really enjoyed the tour and the level of detail and insight that Paul was able to provide, all with his funny delivery. Great way to see Bath and the Bridgerton sights.Written 22 October 2024
- 223lucyr0 contributionsFun Bridgerton Walking TourAlthough the weather was not on our side we throughly enjoyed our Bridgerton tour. Paul was very knowledgable and kept it light and fun! The tour covered lots of picturesque spots in Bath.Written 9 October 2024
- dahlia80 contributionsPaul, you are a hilarious and knowledgeable Bridgerton guideLove a guide with a sense of humor. Paul fit the bill. He looked serious but he was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable about Bridgerton. He brought photos from some of the episodes to show where certain scenes were filmed. He played trivia games. We had one lady who was definitely a super fan. The tour was about 2 hours and 15 minutes.Written 7 October 2024
- E4664MZdanielleh0 contributionsThis Bridgerton Tour is the Diamond of the SeasonI am a Bridgerton super fan and was excited to take this budget-friendly tour in Bath. Paul Elliott's tour showed a lot of Bridgerton filming spots and he brought photo stills from the show to show you what scenes were filmed where we were. I could tell that he watched the show thoroughly by his knowledge and he made the tour fun with a trivia quiz (which I won!). As the winner, I got a prize! He was nice enough to take a photo of me and my friend outside the infamous home of Lady Danbury in the spot he knew would have the perfect angle. The meetup location was easy to get to off the train and for all of the locations we visited, we definitely got our money's worth. As a Bridgerton super fan, I would highly recommend Paul's tour to anyone who loves Bridgerton as much as I do.Written 2 October 2024
- jeannas20130 contributionsA funny tour for Bridgerton fansPaul was an amazing guide, with a great sense of humour. He engaged the audience by asking us very tricky questions on Bridgerton. He also touched upon some historical details of the town and the period. It was a nice way to discover Bath and its elegant buildings. We spent more than 2 hours on the tour and it was worth it. I think that I will rewatch the series paying attention to more details.Written 27 August 2024
- Rachelfrances20210 contributionsBridgerton Walking Tour in BathI would thoroughly recommend a tour by Paul Elliot if you are a Bridgerton fan. He enlivens the tour with a prize winning quiz and has so many interesting anecdotes to add, having witnessed first hand much of the filming of Bridgerton. Even my husband who has not watched any Bridgerton enjoyed the commentary.Written 24 August 2024
- mawadda-hassanein0 contributionsSign up if you’re a Bridgerton fan!!As a fan of Bridgerton, my friend and I were intrigued by the idea of this tour and boy we were not disappointed! Paul was our tour guide and he kept it very entertaining. Much of the shooting was done in Bath so it really felt like you were on set and part of the story. Paul’s Bridgerton quiz was fun and really got us digging into our trivia. Needless to say, this was also a great way to see much of Bath so it was a 2 in 1 tour. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something fun to do.Written 18 August 2024

Paul was an exceptional Tour Guide and was extremely knowledgeable about Bath having lived there and given tours for over three decades. Not only did he know a ton about the history, but he also knew about Bath's contributions to society and provided his own experiences.
Would highly recommend, by far the best walking tour I have ever taken in my life.

I Can’t Praise enough the Importance of a great guide whilst exploring a new City while Travelling and Paul was Outstanding. Thank you Paul for a wonderful Experience and I Look Forward to A future Visit.

Paul was very knowledgeable, knows his history, moves through the hordes of tourists with stealth so you better keep up. Always avails himself to take pics for you. A bit on the dour side and slightly opinionated. But for value and to capture the true essence of Bath I would choose this tour. He did go overtime with us as he forgot his phone. This is a fair and accurate review from 2 of the 5 in his 2pm group. Not sure how he views us colonials, Lol, Lewis and Carol Australia.

Mr Elliot gave us a "Bridgerton" tour where he talked about Netflix shooting locations mixed in with the history of Bath, the royalty, architecture, and minutiae as it relates to the Bridgerton show itself. If you have watched the Bridgerton series multiple times, you will be in awe of Mr. Elliot's knowledge of the series. He spent his hours during the pandemic studying the show in detail. He has fun quizzes and great trivia. If you only watched Bridgerton once, the tour will make you want to watch the series again, if for no other reason than to see the beautiful sites of Bath and reminisce about your holiday tour.
Paul Elliot is a doppelganger of Professor Slughorn from the Harry Potter series and has a witty, conspiratorial charm that compliments his encyclopedic knowledge and rapid delivery of information. If you want a basic tour, go with somebody else. If you want a great and memorable experience, go with Paul. He loves Bath's history and enjoys sharing his passion with visitors.

Bath was an interesting town, and Paul was a fount of knowledge, showing us the highlights, of course, like the Abbey, Roman Baths and Royal Crescent. But he was perhaps the grouchiest tour guide we’ve ever had - complaining that our group was small, complaining about how the town had bulldozed much of its history, and complaining how much his feet hurt. We are sorry to report this, and YMMV, but caveat emptor.

Two hours of history cannot be filled with the above trivial comments. I do not complaiin about tour size, I've run it for one person before now. You can see from all other reviews this observation is totally out of tune with others( YMMV) and in this instant be sceptical of this reviewers accuracy and overinflating passing comments to his convenience.

Paul was friendly and welcoming to all participants.
Paul was logical yet humorous making the tour most enjoyable, including other particularly interesting versions of Bath's history.
Paul's in depth historical knowledge of Bath and the pace at which this tour progressed was just right.
A delightful, somewhat eccentric gentleman and I would suggest others take this tour as it was truly memorable.

Bath was a total surprise — we loved this unique and beautiful town! The people were so friendly and walking through it with our great guide, John, made us appreciate it even more. He mixed dates, history and colorful events so that we learned so much! And after the tour, he took us into the Roman Baths and started us out into that exhibit.

We took this walking tour the afternoon we arrived in Bath and it gave us a great overview of the town and the sights. Paul was extremely informative and interesting, and we thoroughly enjoyed his tour. We feel that it really introduced us to Bath and helped us get familiar with the city as we began our stay.
