A Memorable, Well-Guided Tour Filled With Laughter - 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.

Superb 2 hours - 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 .

Must do tour for Fawlty Towers fans - Went to Torquay especially to do Fawlty Towers experience. Graham our guide didn't disappoint. He was engaging, informative, funny and really made it a fun experience to remember. He involved us in some re-enactments that were hilarious. Thoroughly recommend this tour if you get chance to do, especially if you’re a Fawlty Towers fan, which we were.

Thumbs up for this tour - Graham was exceptional and very knowledgeable as our guide. He was engaging, funny and made all of us comfortable to be an extrovert or introvert. Hopefully Graham will succeed in bringing Fawltly Towers the recognitition it rightly deserves as a tourist attraction to Torquay

Sold as a 90 minute... - 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
