Excellent tour - don’t hesitate in booking - I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour which I would totally recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable and great company. This tour does not only include information about Faulty Towers but a lot of interesting information on Torquay, The guide also does a talk on Agatha Christie which I will have no hesitation in booking the next time I am in the area . Thank you Graham for making my day so enjoyable.

Fun, interactive walk - What a fun 90 minutes we had reenacting famous scenes from Fawlty Towers whilst enjoying a fabulous sunny stroll along Torquay’s lovely bay front! Graham was an amazing tour guide with a bag full of props that made the experience highly interactive and therefore very amusing! (Bring your glasses and be prepared to participate!) We learnt lots of Fawlty Towers factoids along the way and even had a quiz at the end. Highly recommend this tour to anyone that likes a bit of fun. 5 stars all round!

A must for all Fawlty Towers Fans! - This tour is a must if you are a Fawlty Towers Fan. Graham was a fantastic Tour Guide and we laughed from beginning to end. It was great that he got us involved with playing the part of the Characters and we learnt so much about how it all started. So pleased I booked this for my Husbands 60th. I would recommend this tour to anybody visiting Torquay. We were still laughing when we got home. Thank you Graham.

An Utterly Brilliant Experience! - Went on this with my son Ben and we both enjoyed it. Tour guide Graham is so knowledgeable in everything Fawlty Towers related and puts a lot of effort into the experience. We arrived a few minutes late due to our bus being delayed and he even came to meet us at the bus stop. Would highly recommend The Fawlty Tours walking experience.

Amusing walk with lots of imagination and imagination - A very entertaining tour, we enjoyed ourselves for 2 hours and reminisced. Graham manages to create an experience where there is nothing to see and do. It is hoped that the city of Torquay will understand the value of this timeless classic and create some experiences and photo opportunities for Fawlty Towers fans.

pathetic - Disgusting customer service. i booked online tonight, received auto email to confirm my tour tomorrow. Then, within an hour or so i receive an email claiming that the guide is ill and doesnt want to spread thr bug so tour is cancelled. RUBBISH Don't advertise a product if you can't deliver . . .most likely because you are too lazy to operate for 1 pax
