One not to miss - 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!

Amazing insight into the life of an amazing woman - Torquay’s 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 !

Not to be missed! - Graham was a fantastic tour guide, we really enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend to everyone. The 3.5 hours flew by, we learnt a lot and had a great time. The weather wasn’t great but this did not spoil the experience at all.
