★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 333 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $27Best value

Walk Torquay’s seafront with guide Graham Kerr and uncover Agatha Christie’s Devon years, writing life, and local connections.

“What a great way to spend a morning in Torquay. Our tour guide was Graham Kerr (not the Galloping Gourmet) who has lived in Torquay for seven years and an expert guide on Agatha Christie’s life. It was informative and fun. I thought I knew a lot about the life of Dame Agatha Christie but learnt so much more. We even got some gifts at the end of the trip. Graham also told us about what 100 sights and activities there were to do in Torquay. So far we have only done four but intent to do many many more. Thank you Guide Graham you were excellent”

Very professional and I would highly…”
