Paddington Walking Tour
An amazing tour our guide was so knowledgeable and we were very lucky as there were only two of us. It was great to learn about the different filming locations and the guides knowledge about filming was a really great insight. The tour ended a bit flatly and just finished at Grubers. Not sure how you could change the end to make it more upbeat! 100% enjoyed though

If you love Paddington, do this tour
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.

Don't waste your money
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.
Operator response
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
