The best Sherlock Holmes’s experience in London - Richards encyclopaedic knowledge of Sherlock Holmes and all the surrounding lore provided us with a hugely enjoyable and entertaining afternoon scurrying around London. I couldn’t recommend Richard’s tours more and will certainly be signing up for some of his other adventures !

Educational View of Sherlock Holmes - Richard was spectacularly in presenting the story of Sherlock Holmes and its ties to London. We walked the streets of London and learned the details of the stories and the location where they reportedly happened. Well worth the time if you liked Sherlock.

Great Tour. Richard is the best. - Richard is a great guide. He was able to weave into our tour, tales of America’s founding fathers along with his superb knowledge of Sherlock Holmes. If you get the chance do not miss out on this tour. You will not be disappointed.

Richard’s Sherlock Holmes Tour Is The Best - We enjoyed Richard’s Sherlock Holmes tour immensely. He showed and told us many things we didn’t know. He was organized and very pleasant to tour with. He is a wealth of knowledge. We would happily sign up for one of his other tours next time we’re in London.

Great Sherlock experience plus some additional info - Our guide is very knowledgeable and passionate about Sherlock Holmes for sure, and I also learned a lot by chance regarding where the founding fathers stayed and worked and some other random stories; they are definitely very interesting for Americans

Richard, a Study in Sherlock Stewardship - Richard might be the single best tour guide we have ever met, as he used Sherlock Holmes to weave a narrative of the whole of London’s histories and stories. Absolutely personable and dedicated to his patron’s experiences. I would 100% recommend my friends and family to attend any of his tours.

Nice tour - A good tour but normally we booked a tour of 3-4 hours but the tour was already finished after 2 hours. There was only the two of us, so a small group. The guide went really fast, so maybe that was the reason why they tour ended earlier.
