Excellent way to see Torquay and learn lots about Dame Agatha Christie - What a great way to spend a morning in Torquay. Our tour guide was Graham Kerr (not the Galloping Gourmet) who has lived in Torquay for seven years and an expert guide on Agatha Christie’s life. It was informative and fun. I thought I knew a lot about the life of Dame Agatha Christie but learnt so much more. We even got some gifts at the end of the trip. Graham also told us about what 100 sights and activities there were to do in Torquay. So far we have only done four but intent to do many many more. Thank you Guide Graham you were excellent

Agatha Adoration Experience - The Agatha Christie experience was a delightful , funny and informative morning. The host was lovely and engaging including everyone in his discussions. My only negative would be that we were unaware how far from the original set off point we finished at. It made us late for our lunch booking so please be aware of the walk back and allow extra time

The perfect tour for Agatha fans (and those who will become fans after this tour) - What a wonderful walk with Graham! He kept us thoroughly entertained with an outstanding depth of knowledge of Torquay and all things Agatha. A total delight not only for an Agatha fanatic like me but also for my husband (who hadn't read any of Agatha's work before this tour). We definitely want to return to Torquay and the coast to spend more time in Agatha's footsteps.

Best 5 Star Tour Anywhere. Don’t Miss This One. Great for Everyone and Easy Walking. - This was the highlight of our trip in Torquay. Fabulously entertaining, an easy walk for anyone with limitations, and more value than you will pay for 2.5 hours of knowledge and fun. Agatha’s life is so much bigger than her plays and this is a social, cultural and historic tour all rolled into one. Graham is witty, entertaining and knows his stuff. Thanks to his recommendation we are going to see Agatha’s favorite play in London! You’ll have to go on the tour if you want to find out.😊
