Walking Tour of Sherlock Holmes - Amazing tour, very informative for those who are experts and those who know very little about Holmes, Doyle and the inspiration for the characters and story. Highly recommend.

Excellent Sherlock Holmes walking tour - Did the tour on Saturday, November 30. Fiona was our tour guide and she was excellent. I thought this would be a good, different type of tour to do and it did not disappoint. Got a lot of fun information on the shooting of the Sherlock series and movies. I really appreciated how they had stills from the shows/movies we could compare to the locations we were standing in. The entire tour was interesting and informative. Looking forward to doing another tour on a different movie/series next time I visit.

See and Observe with the Best!! - Steph was inviting, informative, and inspiring! We had a total blast exploring the streets of London and finding the places that breathed reality into the world’s most favorite fictional detective. I loved how there were locations from so many different versions of Sherlock, from the books to the shows to the movies. I also learned a lot about how scenes are shot and created. I recommend this tour to anyone of any level of fan.
