This has been one of the first group tours with Brit tours under the website GetyourGuide. My tour guide is named Owen and I have to say he has been one of the best guides I have had for a long time! He is very knowledgeable and what ever questions I had in regards about Sherlock Holmes he has been open about it to answer them with a smile! Also I would like to add he has a great British sense of humour that has always put me to laugh and smile along the way which is fantastic in my opinion! 🎩 This has been one of my favourite tours about Sherlock (I’m a huge fan of original Sherlock “Basil Rathbone” actor himself 😃) I haven’t been to London for many months in which has left me wanting to come back, so for this case I’ve decided to book this tour and this has been the best comeback to London with a big smile on my face 🇬🇧 I would absolutely recommend this tour to you 100% and I would do it again in a heartbeat when I have a chance!

Jonathan was very well versed in all things Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! We very much enjoyed all the information and sight seeing. I especially enjoyed hearing about the older adaptations as I hadn’t realized there were so many, now I have films to watch! Only request would be to try and stop in more shaded areas on sunny days. We were a bit warm at several stops.

Very good, our tour guide Ian was from the British Movie Tour and was also able to tell a comprehensive story (e.g. Bond film and other films that were shot at the locations. After the tour, he also gave us recommendations on where to go in London could do. He told the story very lively and with humor and charm! We all really liked it.
