A fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable tour. It was highly interactive, filled with plenty of laughter, and included a wonderful selection of Fawlty Towers trivia that added real charm to the experience. Our guide, Graham, was exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely committed to ensuring everyone had a memorable time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organised, entertaining, and truly unique experience.

What a fabulous review Jacqueline.....and made even more special as you're owner of Lantern walking tours in Australia - so, you know what you're talking about!!
We had such a lovely time together and it was a pleasure to share the Fawlty Towers stories with you and your mum, which no doubt you'll convey to your family and friends down under. Maybe, just maybe we might become neighbours should you decide to move to Torquay!

Graham, the distant cousin of Basil, gives a unique interactive tour of Torquay seafront with jokes so bad they’re funny and lots of facts about Torquay’s most famous fictional hotelier. Come prepared to act out some of the most famous scenes from the 12 original episodes .

Another satisfied customer.....we should have him stuffed!

Sold as a 90 minute experience, but the email you get the day before says 2 hours. Graham made it interesting but you walk around various parts of Torquay for no reason, nothing whatsoever to do with Fawlty Towers. It was OK but I wouldn't recommend it, or do it again

Thank you for highlighting the bonus 30 minutes which has been amended on the Trip Advisor page. This tour has been created to give fans of the show the chance to remember and celebrate one of the greatest British sit-coms during its 50th anniversary. The route follows the beautiful coastline of the English Riviera, but sadly neither Sydney Opera House, nor the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are visible from Torquay!

Vi opplevde en strålende Fawlty Tour’s tur. Grahame vår guide var kunnskapsrik, morsom og inkluderende. Vi hadde det veldig gøy og lærte mye om karakterene og bakgrunnen for tv-serien. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Tusen takk for at du la denne flotte anmeldelsen. Dere gjorde alle turen så hyggelig..... og den tyske aksenten din var den beste jeg har hørt!!
