“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.
