* The Game is On * - Here I give some of my impressions of the "Sherlock Holmes Tour". My guide was excellent and the chemistry between us was right from the first moment - it was like we had known each other for a long time. Because there were no further registrations, I had a private tour - I enjoyed every second. My guide was very patient and good at the topic, I was able to ask all my questions and always got a competent answer. Feel very in good hands and was able to take a lot of background information, some of which I did not yet know. The tour was very relaxed and there was enough time for photos and so on in all locations. For me as a big Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) fan there were very nice, funny but also emotional hours that I never want to miss. I would book this tour again at any time and can only recommend it to any Sherlock fan! Unfortunately I have lost the name of my guide - I'm not very good at it; =)) Hope he doesn't resent me. It was not just a job for him where he says everything down monotonously and from a little learned - NO - he was noticed every second that Sherlock's passion is also burning in him - I really liked that because it was the whole tour also made authentic! Thank you for getting to know you and for the beautiful, eventful and informative hours with you .....

Perfect Tour for Sherlock/Sherlock Holmes Fans - We loved this tour with Richard! He provided the perfect balance of the history of Sherlock Holmes, information and filming sites of the BBC series (we are huge fans!), and history of London (a welcome bonus to the tour). I highly recommend Richard and his tours! When we are in London again, we will be booking with him!

Wonderful Tour - Wonderful guide! We heard about and saw lots of sites from both the books as well as the BBC version we loved so much, nit to even mention the small historical tidbits we learned along the way. This tour does require quite a bit of walking, but it is well-paced and the tube provides some opportunities to sit and rest.

Fun learning experience - My nephew is a huge fan of the show and really enjoyed this tour. My sister and I never saw the show, but I t was neat learning about the show and seeing all the different sites. The guide was really kind and knowledgeable. We asked him about other landmarks we passed that had nothing to do with the show or the books and he knew about them. I would recommend the tour.
