I took my friend (who is a die hard Sherlock Holmes fan) on this tour for his 50th birthday and he loved it. Our tour guide Elise was really knowledgeable on all things Sherlock including the books and stories as well as the t.v. and film adaptations. She was able to give a comprehensive tour offering recommendations for lunch and some general knowledge of London as well as all the Sherlock points. I was originally disappointed that the tour didnt cover Baker street or the Sherlock museum but it was no bother going to these locations afterwards and separately, but something to bear in mind when booking as this isnt made clear throughout the booking process. If you're a Sherlock Holemes fan and someone that loves the films and series then this is a great tour to go on.

Really great experience for the family. Not only do you find out a lot about Sherlock but you also get to see a lot of Londons best sights. Ewan made the whole event really special, he had a mixture of great historical knowledge but was also super funny!

Owen was knowledgable, funny and helpful - everything you could possibly want in a tour guide! The mix of historical facts and anecdotal stories, as well as the breadth of information on all things Sherlock was a winning combination. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone and plan to book for the Harry Potter walking tour next.

Yesterday I attended the walking tour with my husband as an anniversary present. Our tour guide Owen was fantastic he went into detail , spoke to every individual that was on the tour and made us laugh. Definitely a tour we will look at doing again with our children in the future.

Elise took us on a very interesting tour of London via Sherlock Holmes’ haunts from the books, movies, plays and tv adaptations. Elise was good fun and shared a few asides of London historic sites as well as the ‘hidden’ movie locations such as Pentonville Prison ar Somerset House.

We made the tour with Fiona. She is not only an expert, knowing so much about the films, her vivid and emotional descriptons were diverting an exciting.

Our Tour Guide Owen was a really energetic and informative guide... for the mixed group that we were part of, he kept us all engaged and topped up our Sherlock knowledge with other TV and movie trivia that was also connected to those involved. I will definitely consider doing this again with other friends and family who would be interested in this
