Great tour and a great guide ! Graham made it so enjoyable with his knowledge and humour. The time just flew by. - Really great tour. Really interesting and informative. So good to go around the remaining buildings and places and imagine what it was like then and what those buildings have seen.

Brilliant for Agatha fans or just an interest in her works. - Brilliant time for anyone with any interest in Agatha Christie. Graham the guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience interesting and amusing. Learnt a lot about Agatha but also about Torquay. The walk was gently paced and over mostly flat territory, couple of small hills bit nothing taxing. Would definitely recommend if you are into crime fiction.

Informative walk - The trip was very informative and Graham the guide kept us engaged. Could have done with a little less of the silly poses/selfies but others seemed to enjoy them. Pace was a bit quick and no consideration/information about walking over the beach. I walk with a stick so am not so quick as some of the other tourists.
