Fantastic Agatha Christie Tour - Graham Kerr is a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about the life of Agatha Christie and areas of interest in and around Torquay related to her life. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Special thanks to Graham for his recommendation to visit Cockington Village. After the tour, we spent a lovely two hours enjoying this quaint, tranquil Village imagining how it must have inspired Agatha Christie's village of St. Mary Mead, home of Miss Marple.

Great walking tour! - We had a very enjoyable and educational tour of the city of Torquay and the life of Agatha Christie. Graham was our guide, and he was personal, entertaining, and informative. He successfully engaged all members of the walking tour and answered everyone's questions. His photos from Agatha Christie's life and recording of one of her few public speeches added a great deal to the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the English Riviera or Agatha Christie.

An Agatha seaside walk in Torquay. - The wife enjoys reading murder mystery stories so a trip to Torquay for Agatha Christie was required. Graham was the man to tell the story. Insiteful and humorous. A great time spent with him. I completely missed the availability of a Fawlty Towers tour so a return visit to Torquay will be a must!!

Fun walk with lots of information / anecdotes from guide Graham - Informative and fun walk passing some of Agatha Christie's places of her stay at Torquay.
Graham was funny, interactive and good fun.
the walk is nt too hard, there is quite some time for resting / when you listen to the stories.
I did miss some of the key places such as Imperial Hotel (there is a plaque / some info on her in the lobby) and the Grand was pointed out but we did not actually walk there.
still, fun walk esp. when you have sunshine as we did.
