Family tour - fun and informative - We booked the tour for my Dad’s 70th celebrations as he is a big Agatha Christie fan. The tour was really interactive and fun. There was lots of facts and information - even some my dad didn’t know! Graham was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we had an absolute blast! Also the route was fine for the dog and baby’s pram.

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.
