Great experience and highly recommended. - Our guide Graham welcomed us all by name at the start of our walking tour and gave a short explanation of our time together and an opportunity to ask any questions. All 3 of us enjoyed our time on the tour which was informative and enjoyable. A very pleasant 2 1/2 hours and well worth the money. After the first 5mins walk we stopped regularly along the way to look at photo's and video clips, admire the views, and imagine the scenes being painted before us in words. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate. Thank you.

Great introduction to historic Torquay - Graham was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of the history of Torquay in the Great War and in WW2 is vast and he explained this in an interesting way. We had no idea that Torquay was an essential part of the D-day preparation! We really liked the use of historic photos.

2 hours of history, very educational and relaxations. - I chose this tour because with a guide, you can learn a lot about this beautiful place. And we thank Mr. Graham that the two hours we spent together were very enjoyable, interactive and full of lots of new information. Lots of things to see and do in Torquay. There are also 20 beautiful beaches, many look like bays, as if you are on a Mediterranean beach. It is worth taking a tour of the English Riviera.
