Fantastic tour - well worth it!
Stéph was a fantastic tour guide who clearly loves what she does and knows pretty much everything about Sherlock Holmes and all things related. She brings a passion and vivaciousness the enlivens and engages and occasionally sprinkles little extra titbits about other films for garnish that whet your appetite for more of these brilliant tours. All the elementary ingredients are there for a wonderful experience on this tour!

Good experience
Operated by 'Brit tour' this experience walked us through multiple locations in London where lots of T.v. and film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes have been filmed over the years. The tour guide had fantastic knowledge of Sherlock Holmes and London and was able to make a good recommendation for lunch and also gave some basic general knowledge on London as well as the topic. A great morning and just the right amount of time for the activity. Worth doing if you love Sherlock Holmes

We were Sherlocked!
Our guide was Michael who was extremely knowledgable. Taking us to various locations with links to Sherlock from many tv and film shows. Links to Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Gatiss were all there too. Whilst we knew the tour did not include Baker Street due to distance and time this would have completed the experience. Thanks Michael for making the walk so informative.

Amazing tour
This tour was amazing! I bought it as a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday and he really enjoyed it too. As an all round Sherlock Holmes fan myself I learnt plenty from tour guide Chris that I didn't already know about the detective, and we saw plenty of interesting sites that we wouldn't have known to go to whilst visiting London for the weekend. Well worth the money.

Stalking Sherlock!
We had a great day, following Sherlock's foot steps around central London. Our guide was friendly, very knowledgeable and made us all feel at ease while he told us some secrets used by the BBC! I would recommend this tour to everyone, even if you're not a Sherlock Holmes Follower. Very enjoyable.

Really good value for money!
Definitely a trip worth doing if you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and even if the person you take isn't a massive fan our tour guide Phil had lots of fun facts about London in general that he threw in. A really good Sherlock tour but also just a good way of getting to see lots of London at the same time.

Fascinating and fun
We absolutely loved the Sherlock Holmes walking tour. It covered TV and film sites from all the incarnations of Holmes and Watson and some history about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Wish it could have gone on for longer. Our guide, Nicola, was very knowledgeable and had photos from the film sets to compare with the areas we visited. Highly recommended.

The Valley of Fun
We went on a walking tour of Sherlock Holmes sites around London. What was great, other than the charismatic Mr Holmes, was that the tour covered books, tv and films - not just one as lots of tours tend to be. We had a great time and felt very cultured afterwards! Roll on the next experience!

Amazing day out!
This was a great present! Even my partner who doesn't really know much about sherlock enjoyed it! I would say to pack a lunch or to have a good breakfast cause it is a lot of walking, but it was still enjoyable! Tour guide was amazing and gave us extra details about where to find old sherlock movies, other information about the actors, directors, storyline, etc!

Our guide was excellent. He was well versed in his timings, informative, personable and had taken care in dressing smartly and in the period of the era. FIVE STARS The tour itself was a little confused, trying to cater for the author and the various incarnations of Sherlock.
