Our guide had deep knowledge of what happened in Bath during WWII. We walked over a good deal of the city center where he frequently pointed out the locations of where bombs exploded and shared period photo’s to give us an idea of the level of damage. The content is extensive, so the tour lasts over 2-1/2 hours.

An excellent informative specialist tour about the lesser known history of bath. Paul was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and friendly. He brought the events to life from 80 years ago.
