The tour was a really awesome experience. Our tour guide Owen provided comprehensive explanation of the set of Shelock Holmes movies and gave us lots of trivial info on London history. Both my daughter and I learned lots! The amount of walking was just about right. Highly recommend to any shelock holmes fans! We went to the Shelock Holmes live game in the afternoon so it was a great day for us.
Fiona is fab

A great 2.5 hours of walking round London and seeing some Holmes related sights. Fiona was brilliant and sufficiently geeky, 10/10 would do again
Amazing walking tour with Fiona

Amazing walking tour with Fiona. She knows everything about Sherlock and it was very interesting for 2 hours. We are French and not fluent, but it wasn't a problem and we understood 90% of the explanations.
Interesting and informative

I took my friend (who is a die hard Sherlock Holmes fan) on this tour for his 50th birthday and he loved it. Our tour guide Elise was really knowledgeable on all things Sherlock including the books and stories as well as the t.v. and film adaptations. She was able to give a comprehensive tour offering recommendations for lunch and some general knowledge of London as well as all the Sherlock points. I was originally disappointed that the tour didnt cover Baker street or the Sherlock museum but it was no bother going to these locations afterwards and separately, but something to bear in mind when booking as this isnt made clear throughout the booking process. If you're a Sherlock Holemes fan and someone that loves the films and series then this is a great tour to go on.

Really great experience for the family. Not only do you find out a lot about Sherlock but you also get to see a lot of Londons best sights. Ewan made the whole event really special, he had a mixture of great historical knowledge but was also super funny!

Owen was knowledgable, funny and helpful - everything you could possibly want in a tour guide! The mix of historical facts and anecdotal stories, as well as the breadth of information on all things Sherlock was a winning combination. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone and plan to book for the Harry Potter walking tour next.

Elise took us on a very interesting tour of London via Sherlock Holmes’ haunts from the books, movies, plays and tv adaptations. Elise was good fun and shared a few asides of London historic sites as well as the ‘hidden’ movie locations such as Pentonville Prison ar Somerset House.

Our Tour Guide Owen was a really energetic and informative guide... for the mixed group that we were part of, he kept us all engaged and topped up our Sherlock knowledge with other TV and movie trivia that was also connected to those involved. I will definitely consider doing this again with other friends and family who would be interested in this
very good

We did 3 walking tours while in London, and this one was the best. The tour guide added some humor and insights which made it very enjoyable.

I am not a superfan of Sherlock but like the BBC series so I joined the tour. It is good to see the sences in the series appearing in real life. Not only the BBC series but also the movies. It gave information on the author’s stories as well. It lastsd about 2 hours and the walk wals alright - not walking too much. The guide is very friendly as well.
Fun and interesting!

If you want to know fun facts about Sherlock and London, this is the tour for you, Amber, the guide was awesome, I think any tour with her will probably be amazing! Booking was easy and everything you need to know beforehand is sent to you via email. Quite a bit of walking but not too much.
