Sherlock Holmes

10 minutes

You are in safe hands for this tour. Your guide is a dedicated Sherlockian and even worked in The Sherlock Holmes Museum located in Baker Street. If you are new to Sherlock Holmes or a dedicated fanatic this tour is for you. The Game is afoot... Lets start in Northumberland Avenue, and pause for a while outside the Sherlock Holmes Pub for an insight into the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and how the character of Sherlock Holmes came in to being. The Sherlock Holmes Pub was formerly the Northumberland Hotel where Sir Henry Baskerville stayed when he arrived in London to seek the help of Sherlock Holmes. Right opposite is the Turkish bath where Holmes and Watson relaxed during or after a case. This tour also passes many of London's famous landmarks and as your personal guide it will be my pleasure to share my love for my home town, and also point out a few hidden gems on route.

Sherlock meets Dickens

Richard the guide was fabulous. He really brought to life the Sherlock Holmes stories while weaving in Dickens and London history. Although I’ve traveled far and wide, he added new knowledge to my trove. I’d say if you want a knowledgeable guide, ask for him and you won’t be disappointed.
More than just a Sherlock Holmes tour

Our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the places we visited and passed. My 17 year-old son and I ended up being the only ones on the tour, and he interwinred American history with Sherlock Holmes history along the way. He’s a true Sherlock Holmes and history buff, and it shows in his enthusiasm for what he does.
Amazing part of London

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.
