Response from Host, Aug 2023
I'm delighted the tour kept you entertained for 2.5 hours, discovering about Agatha's life and finding out about her home town - Torquay. Thank you for posting this super review
Great, even for non Agatha lovers!
Tracey_W, Jul 2023
I bought this walking tour gif my husband’s birthday as he is an Agatha Christie fan. I’m not a lover of Agatha Christie’s novels or plays however as this tour is more about her life even I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a complete immersion into a bygone era and it was fascinating and interesting, even to a non Christie fan like me. I’d definitely recommend this tour, Graham was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour interesting and funny. If you see me on mastermind next year, I know what my specialist subject will be!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
It's reviews like this that make tour guiding so satisfying! When a guest is 'converted' to Agatha by the end of the tour, it's very rewarding.
And then there was more!
Ian_B, Jul 2023
Graham delivered a fascinating insight into Agatha Christie’ life and her character. He was very engaging.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
That's one of the best titles ever for an Agatha Christie review! Thank you so much Ian

Gail_J, Jul 2023
We loved learning about Agatha Christie's life. She was a very interesting lady. Graham is very knowledgeable and very passionate about his subject he's also a top bloke. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
What a super review Gail, thank you so much! I was delighted Graham now only completed the tour on foot (with the help of his trusty seat)....but then walk to Cockington - very impressive!
Best guided tour!
Michael_T, Jun 2023
We had a very nice walk around Torquay, with our very pleasant guide Graham. He told us the whole story about Agatha Christie and her life in Torquay and in general. Graham was ready with both some trivia questions and he had also a few surprises ready :-) :-) We can 100% recommend Graham and the Agatha Christie walk
