A really interesting tour of the area around Paddington. Owen was a great guide.
We enjoyed our trip with Chris!
Owen was an excellent guide and full of enthusiasm. The tour started at Paddington station but then moved on to the local area, Little Venice and Portobello Road. It was great to see the sights where the films were shot and learn about the background. There was also history about Michael Bond and how the books came about.
Having seen Paddington The Musical the night before, we thought the walking tour the next day would be perfect. The audience was a mix of all ages with 4 children but the guide treated us all like school children and after an hour of a 2.5 hr tour where we hadn't even left Paddington Station we left and did our own walking tour.
Dear Suzanne, We were sorry to hear of your negative reaction to the tour. The tour itself does leave Paddington Station after approximately 30 minutes, so we are not sure how the group could have been there still after an hour (?) The guide in question would have made sure all ages are having fun, including the children and grown-ups, as the tour caters to all ages who love Paddington. Kind regards, Brit Movie Tours
Great tour! Our guide, Rory, was incredibly knowledgeable about the films and general British trivia!
Excellent tour, Russel was courteous, knowledgeable & fun and clearly enjoyed the subject matter, he was kind & accommodating to our son who has special needs, good day all round
Brilliant walking tour with engaging guide Owen really enjoyed, saw a lot of parts of London not been to before, good explanation of Paddington links.
Thank you Rory for an enjoyable walking tour. He was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a nice time.
Rory was a lovely tour guide — funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw many locations from the film and had a very nice walk through several neighborhoods. Plenty of time for photo ops and you end at Portobello Road market which is a great place to end.
This was a very enjoyable walking tour centred around the Paddington movie sites. Fiona was very knowledgeable around the theme and an excellent communicator which added to the enjoyment of the walk for Paddington fans
