Excellent tour with Richard!! This is for both the clásico Holmes fan as well as the newer BBC - show fan! We were so happy with all the inside knowledge from our guide. We had a younger Sherlock fan in our group and Richard spent a lot of time telling our youngest kid about age appropriate things from the Sherlock TV and movies, as well as the classic stories. His little known facts about Sherlock are really a huge bonus and we loved every minute. He had great knowledge of the museum before we got there, and even suggested other BBC filming locations we might want to visit later in our trip. Thanks so much for an amazing experience!!

Thank you for such a wonderful review.
It was a pleasure to meet you both, and take you around the sites of Traditional and BBC Sherlock locations.
Remember to check out Edgar Allen Poe and 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'!
Hope to see you on a future trip!

This was a great tour. It brought to life so many aspects of the books and BBC series. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and included other pieces of history throughout the city.

Richard was fantastic and very knowledgeable! Really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it. He also pointed out some unique historical parts of London.

Our tour guide, Richard, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. We had a great time walking around parts of London experiencing destinations that were vital to both the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels and short stories as well as BBC’s Sherlock. In addition, gave us some insight on other locations that were part of Harry Potter and Charles Dickens. Highly recommend for fans!

I’m a teen who loves Sherlock Holmes especially the hit B.B.C. show. The guide (I think his name was Richard) was extremely friendly and knew things that even I (a pretty big fan) didn’t know! The Tour was exactly as described, was about three and a half hours and ended at the Sherlock Holmes Museum!
