Excellent guided walk with interesting facts - would thoroughly recommend
Excellent guided walk. Graham (Poirot) was very entertaining and kept every ones attention for 3 hours with stories of Agatha, her family and her life, referencing her works along the way. The tour stretches from the harbour to Torre Abbey, with plenty of stops along the way and fun pictures. We had a toilet break half way along with a chance to purchase a drink. We would thoroughly recommend this experience.

I was on the walking tour with Hercule Poirot himself to visit Torquay on Agatha Christie 'eyes. It was a wonderful expérience - Graham is a great speaker, gave all his passion, a lot of histories on Agatha and siblings. The 3 hours walk go very quiclky and I should have been star more to heard about Agatha Christie 'legend...if you pass in Torquay don 't miss that walking tour A french Lady on the tour

Excellent tour taken to the next level by amazing guide Mark
Mark gave us an excellent spooky tour of Ilfracombe on a warm evening in August. Both kids were suitably spooked and inspired! Without giving anything away, the tour was family friendly, sensitively grizzly and made for a great family experience.

The Fawlty Tours walking experience

This tour was a lot of fun and I recommend it to any Fawlty Towers fans who happen to be in the Torbay area. It was fascinating to hear stories about the hotel on which the comedy was based, the filming of the two series and what has happened to some of the stars of the show. We all joined in enthusiastically reciting some of the most popular scenes and I terrified other people on the tour by channelling my inner Basil.

Don’t mention the war!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour in the glorious sunshine yesterday. Graham was a very engaging guide full of interesting facts about Fawlty Towers and Torquay. There was lots of interaction and as a small group it was very relaxed. A fun way to spend a couple of hours in Torbaydos and good value for money.

Kids now converted to spooky
Mark was a great tour guide! We over booked and he accommodate our group on another date. Turning our kids from a walking tour being boring to wanting to go on more ghost tours. They learnt loads of history too so even better, got some exercise and time off their phones (until we got back and they wanted to watch all the ghost hunting videos). Thank you Mark definitely a high point of our holiday so far. We can't wait to see if we can make other events you run.

Nigel Is A Fabulous Tour Guide
We spent four lovely days in Cornwall with Nigel as our guide. He is fun, courteous, thoughtful, well-organized, and knowledgeable. My husband and I had the best time with Nigel who made sure we saw all the best that gorgeous Cornwall has to offer. If you are heading to Cornwall, make sure you book Nigel well in advance. He is a joy!

Awesome experience at Cornwall
We are just back after a family trip to Cornwall with Nigel Makin and it has been such a wonderful refreshing experience. We are taking back beautiful memories of a lifetime back with us thanks to Nigel. Right from the start , Nigel made sure that the entire experience was smooth , the initial planning discussions proactive, a well organised itinerary, flexibility if any changes were required and above all very friendly and helpful. Each day was a great experience and he gave us excellent context and background for all the attractions we visited. Will surely recommend Nigel as a top tour guide and looking forward to our next trip to Devon with him!

Outstanding Day on Dartmoor

Dartmoor Tour

Outstanding Day on Dartmoor
We had a fantastic day touring Dartmoor National Park with Nigel. He was truly exceptional. Nigel is a conversationalist. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, and he made our whole family feel comfortable and welcome from the start.Nigel put together a brilliant itinerary that kept all five of us entertained for the entire day, including kids aged 10, 13, and 17 (not an easy task!). He struck the perfect balance between history, scenery, and fun, and even created a quiz at the end of the day just for the kids, which they loved.The ultimate endorsement came from our 10‑year‑old, who said Nigel was the best guide of our entire UK trip — even better than the Gentleman Warder at the Tower of London (and that's high praise because the Gentleman Warder's are really engaging tour guides).Thank you to Nigel for a truly memorable day on Dartmoor. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to families or anyone looking for an engaging and personalized experience.

Perfect for mum
My husband and I were visiting his mum, who is 91, and wanted to take her on an outing, something different for her but also manageable. Nigel's tour was a delight! He made sure it was tailored to mum's mobility challenges and she was able to see beautiful places and have a lovely fish and chips lunch. Wonderful experience for all of us!

Simply The Best 🎶
Nigel Makin is one of the best tour operators we’ve experienced on our many private guided tours world wide. On time, historical whizz, funny and accommodating throughout! We spent 7 days touring from Bath, into Devon then Cornwall. Do not hesitate to book any of Nigel’s tours or two combined as we did. I simply googled south west tours from Tasmania and truly hit the jackpot. We will forever have happy memories of our time in Devon and Cornwayy, but especially our time spent with him.

Outstanding tour and guide
We did the tour as a family of 3. Prior to the tour, Nigel had reached out on both email and WhatsApp to find out if we had any special needs or if there was anything in particular we would like to see or do on the tour.On the day of the tour, Nigel arrived promptly at the agreed time and from the outset was very warm and welcoming and conversation flowed easily.Nigel showed us on a map the planned route for the day and mentioned areas of interest we would visit.The trip was well planned and expertly executed. The knowledge of the area and history that Nigel had was outstanding and he made it very interesting telling us about the history of the area in general and in detail for each landmark.I would highly recommend a tour with Nigel, you will not regret it.Stephen Kelly & Family
