Fabulous trip down Memory Lane to celebrate best British comedy of all time ! - This was such a fun filled tour. The chance to enjoy and reminisce about one of the most iconic British comedy series of all time . Graham was the perfect guide - dressed for the occasion and an expert on all things Faulty . It was such fun looking at the various scenes and characters and Graham’s rich knowledge about the series , its actors and its legacy was outstanding. If you are a fan of the series - this is an absolute must when you’re in Torquay .

"May I ask what you would expect to see from a Torquay hotel bedroom window - Sydney Opera House perhaps ! " - A very enjoyable stroll along the front in Torbay listening to Graham recount the history of the classic TV show. Graham is a delightful and engaging host and I would recommend this tour just for the fun of it !

Laughing all the way! - What a fantastic tour with Graham, I’m a Fawlty Towers fan and I still learnt so much! Would highly recommend this is one not to be missed, I must say the most memorable moment for me had to be reenacting one of the classic sketches.

Time and money we'll spent. - Graham is a wonderful host. He greeted us with a welcoming smile which immediately put us at our ease. His knowledge of the conception of Fawlty Towers, its characters and worldwide success made the one and a half hour tour fly by.
He answered our questions with enthusiasm and asked if any of our group wished to act out certain famous sketches. A few of our groups would-be thespians duly obliged, greatly enhancing the overall experience.
I didn't ask Graham's personal story but he is a great raconteur, a most engaging host.
