Great walking history tour - Did an Agatha Christie walking tour of Torquay with Graham, very friendly and knowledgeable on all matters plus history of the local area, started the 3 hr walking tour at the new Agatha Christie bench with photos and then off we went. Easy to find outside the Toursit information office, parking nearby and plenty of cafes locally

Agatha Christie walking tour - Excellent guide. My wife and I aren’t even big Agatha Christie fans but we found the tour very interesting and will now be going to the library to read an Agatha Christie murder mystery.

Agatha Christie's Extraordinary Life Walking Tour - Torquay - The walking tour was of a very high standard, with a fully informative narrative and fun facts along the way, including props to enhance the experience. Graham was a top tour guide who we will definitely recommend to family and friends. I am sure we will book ourselves in again soon.

“The mysterious affair at Torquay” - Graham is a fantastic guide who knows everything there’s to know about Agatha Christie and the ABC of her life. Along the way, we also discover Torquay, and, like a real-life Poirot, he connects it all with literature and history. He’s as funny as he is knowledgeable — it’s Fun under the sun, minus the blood and murders. Absolutely don’t miss it!

A history lesson, in place of Agatha Christie’s walk. - This was highlighted as a walk; A walk it was, but a very slow one, stopping every 3 minutes; guess to kill time. It was more of a history lesson not really focusing on Agatha, but mainly the winder society and the behaviour of the rich at the time. The destination (green house) was in our sight from the start, but the walk there was so slow we gave up after 1 hour 30 minutes; having only covered a few hundred metre. This walk should be renamed a history of Agatha, and winder society off the time. Very disappointed,
