Bath & Bridgerton in Depth Tour - 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.
