A knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide made this tour a joy. Definitely recommend. Easy walking. Comfortable terrain. Thank you Graham

A most enjoyable walk through Torquay learning about Agatha Christie's life. Graham was enthusiastic and interesting, engaging all ages, including a 13 and 11year old. Definitely a tour to do in the area! Thank you Graham.

Graham is a very knowledgeable and highly entertaining tour guide. As well as learning about Agatha Christie’s life, we also learned a lot about the Torquay area. Sadly we didn’t have time to do his Basil Fawlty tour in the afternoon which I’m sure would have been hilarious!

Expecting a busload of tourists joining the tour, it actually was just my wife and me who were in for the tour on that Sunday early May. So it was a very personal tour and although we had torrential rain showers Graham was positive and fun, he is a fabulous guide! Five stars as always - thank you Graham!!

A very informative and fun walking tour with our guide Graham. He was enthusiastic and very engaging throughout the 2 1/2 - 3 hour tour. Walking was fairly limited so don’t worry if you’re not a regular walker. We were fortunate to have had great weather the day of the our tour. Learned a lot of interesting anecdotes about Agatha Christie and various facts about both her and the Torquay area. Would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about the author and/or Torquay.

Graham the tour guide was brilliant. Funny, knowledgeable and very personable. Felt like I was taking a walk with a friend. Perhaps I am not the biggest Agatha Christie fan but was totally engrossed and amazed that there was so much more to this prolific author than the books that dominate the world of fiction. Take the tour you will love it! Stephanie

What a fabulous experience! Graham entirely intrigued us with his charming, witty knowledgable and light-hearted way. At the end of the tour we felt as if we were friends of Agatha Christie.

What a marvellous walking tour - delving into Agatha’s colourful and eventful life . The tour took us to places which were the backdrop to Agatha’s life and works and what an insight it provided for her books and the dramatisations of her work. Graham is a fantastic tour guide - he made the tour come alive with photos , anecdotes , historical detail and all done with wit and humour. A glorious two and a half hours for the Agatha Christie fan . Thank you - it was beyond brilliant !
