Our second tour w/Richard on this visit was even better than the first. It didn’t hurt that we were big fans of Conan Doyle’s cannon AND the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Richard did not disappoint, and even threw in a little unrelated historic and Harry Potter info. A lot of geeking out happened on the walk about.

We had a VERY small group as it was just the two of us and Richard. He was extremely knowledgeable - not just about Sherlock Holmes and the time flew by as we walked about London. I cannot recommend strongly enough; it was fantastic!

Richard was fantastic to spend an afternoon with. Not only did we get great in person Sherlock Holmes spots across London; he splashed in many other fun facts about movies and history that occurred in areas on our walking tour. He also recommended places to eat and how to make the most of visiting places with local tips. We thoroughly enjoyed our trek and would absolutely look Richard up for another tour when we’re in London again. Book with him, you will absolutely not regret it.

Richard conducted this small group tour and he was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about Sherlock Holmes (both the books and TV/movies) and also about the historical context and real-life setting for the original books. The tour was very engaging, very informative and covered a wide range of Sherlock Holmes history. Richard was passionate about the topic and as such this was an excellent experience.

Richard was a great tour guide took us to a lot of different spots referencing Sherlock Holmes, but he would also give us information relating to history such as the Tudor times. We experienced a private tour with him so we had time to go to extra locations such as where they filmed Sherlock for the BBC show it was really cool. Richard knew a lot and gave us so much info that we didn’t know definitely recommend.

This was a great tour by a very knowledgeable guide. Richard went above and beyond his duties of the Sherlock information and even included other information along the way of the tour. I was super excited to do this tour after reading all of the Sherlock Holmes stories and this tour was a great denouement to that experience. I only wish I had watched the BBC series to ensure I could fully appreciate some of the sites.

I was so impressed by this tour. The leader made it most interesting walking around to see the various areas that Doyle used in his stories was wonderful. I don’t know if it was because I am American, but places attached to our history was also included. This is a terrific part of London and I would like to take a tour even more in-depth, the next time I come to London. The tour guide was excellent.
