The One of a kind Sherlock Holmes tour of a lifetime!!
Wow!! Where we can even BEGIN to describe the experience of a very special Sherlock Holmes Walking tour (In Stephen's own words)!! We have been fans of Sherlock Holmes fiction for more than half a century now; and it was a lifetime's dream that came true with Stephen and his Company Ye Olde England Tours. Stephen arranged a one of a kind Holmes tour focused on the classic Granada TV series and the books!! And for 3+ hours we were transported to the world of Sherlock Holmes as of it were early to mid 1900's. We could write an entire journal on those 3 hours..... Stephen deserves a medal!! He is an absolute FOUNTAIN of historical knowledge and inspite of that - extremely humble, kind and generous!! No detail was too small; no building/location went unspoken about.... We were also taken around locations associated with other great classical writers like HG Wells, Rudyard Kipling and George Orwell! 5 stars is not enough!!. Whichever tour is organized or led by Stephen is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and value for money. Imagine - we even had the GREATEST luck to have a photograph with a real detective at the original Scotland Yard!! By the end of the tour we wouldn't have been surprised to have been introduced to Lestrade!! Highest possible recommendation for Stephen and his company.

Unforgettable Sherlock Holmes
Kevin Pearman was our fabulous guide for the Sherlock Holmes Private walking tour, which as an additional bonus, has a vast knowledge of history that made the tour exceptional. This tour has to be experienced in person as words cannot describe the many sites we saw and all of the inside tidbits with fun anecdotes accompanying. Kevin exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to book another tour with this company. Booking was very simple and the company was very quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend and Kevin Pearman was absolutely fantastic.

Sherlock Holmes your is a lot more!
Stephen was great. I was surprised that he took us to so many places that had nothing really to do with Sherlock. And he had lots of great info about everywhere we went. My favorite was when we saw where they filmed the scene in Sherlock where cumberbatch fell off the roof.

Thanks so much for your lovely review I'm so glad that you had such a nice tour with me. Yes that is a great location and I like it there too. That area had been covered in scaffolding for 2 years so you timed your tour just right! Thanks again!

Great Tour and Amazing Guide!
Our first activity on our very first visit to London - we traveled as a family and everyone loved this tour. So much info on the Sherlock Holmes saga - both past and more recent. Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely the best. He was kind, helpful, supremely knowledgeable! He pointed out so much that was nearby our walking path and helped us become familiar with the tube. Based upon information he shared, we went back to several places over the span of our visit. Kevin obviously loves what he does and it was clear that his top priority was to make our experience a great one!

Simon was like a walking...
Simon was like a walking Goggle of London history, a veritable encyclopedic knowledge of all things Sherlock and all things London. Walking through London with Simon allowed us to discover many unexpected gems of the rich history London hides in every nook and that probably other typical tours might miss. We had an absolutely fantastic time and when we come back to London we will be looking for Simon again for his other walking tours!!!

Thanks so much for your review Arturo. It was such a pleasure to meet you all. I'm glad you had a good tour. Not everyone gets to take a selfie with a 275 year old philosopher! Say hi to everyone from me! - Stephen (Simon works too lol).

London Discovered!!
My husband and I did the Sherlock Holmes walking tour with Kevin three weeks ago. Well, it was supposed to be the Sherlock Holmes walking tour but it was WAY MORE than that! The things we learnt about London were amazing and so many gems hiding in plain sight! Our guide was SO knowledgeable and interesting, we could have walked all day listening to his stories!
If you only have one time to do one tour in London, this has to be it!!

Thanks so much for your amazing review of our Sherlock tour. All our tours have the habit of going beyond what people expect! Kevin was so glad to know that you enjoyed your time with him. We did this tour for the BBC Comic Relief fundraising show with some of the actors so you know you're in good company!

Loved the city and am glad we added Kevin
It’s hard to say which part of this tour was the most exciting. Kevin, our tour guide made every part of the trip so interesting and our grandchild flipped over following Sherlock’s story. Wished we could have spent more time with kevin .

A tour customised to us
Stephen kindly adapted his tour to our requests - my husband for Sherlock Holmes, for myself for some of the older buildings and communities that merged over the years to form London.
Stephen's depth of knowledge was apparent, but he adapted his tour to our level! He also shared lots of fun facts to keep us smiling.
I would thoroughly recommend one of these tours, especially to people like us who used to commute into London for work, but who never took the time to really look at and think about all the history around us.
