    Great introduction to historic Torquay
    PaulD_M, Jun 2023
    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.
    Response from Host, Jun 2023
    Thank you so much for leaving this lovely review Paul. I really enjoy sharing the stories about Torquay's involvement in both world wars and it's surprising to discover the important role the town played.
