Laughing all the way!

What a fantastic tour with Graham, I’m a Fawlty Towers fan and I still learnt so much! Would highly recommend this is one not to be missed, I must say the most memorable moment for me had to be reenacting one of the classic sketches.

Fawlty Towers walking tour

We spent 90 minutes with Graham and friends on the Fawlty Towers walking tour.Graham was fantastic, very knowledgeable,enthusiastic and entertaining.As FT lovers it was great to gain more knowledge and re visit funny scripts and memories.This was our second tour with Graham,having previously done the Agatha Christie walk. I can thoroughly recommend both.

Time and money we'll spent.

Graham is a wonderful host. He greeted us with a welcoming smile which immediately put us at our ease. His knowledge of the conception of Fawlty Towers, its characters and worldwide success made the one and a half hour tour fly by. He answered our questions with enthusiasm and asked if any of our group wished to act out certain famous sketches. A few of our groups would-be thespians duly obliged, greatly enhancing the overall experience. I didn't ask Graham's personal story but he is a great raconteur, a most engaging host.
