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.

Absolute Must For Fawlty Towers Fans - We can't say enough good things about these English Riviera Walking Tours. Last year we had a wonderful Agatha Christie walking tour with Graham, We had such a great time that we came back again this year. This time we did the newly added "Don't Mention the War Tour". For anyone who's a "Fawlty Towers" fan this tour is an absolute must. Being big fans of this highly popular show, and John Cleese, we were surprised at how much we had forgotten, it was so much fun reminiscing and recalling the many hilarious episodes of this show. And of course, next year we'll be back again for more of these delightful wonderful tours. Thank you again Graham so very much for another wonderful memorable time. See you next year!

What a great experience - What a fantastic fun packed tour immersing myself with everything to do with Fawlty Tours. I thought I was an expert but clearly not! Great interactive stops along the way and our guide was great fun. I would highly recommend this tour.

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
