Hello, and welcome to Devon. My name is Alex, and as an award winning tour guide I can organise...

This tour offers you a fabulous day out, following as it does in Agatha Christie's footsteps. It includes many locations from Agatha's childhood, such as the beaches of Torquay, where she spent a great deal of her spare time, and locations from her early adulthood, including the pier, the Pavilion, and several other places. Later in the day, a visit to Greenway is in order, Agatha's beautiful holiday home, and naturally the day ends with a traditional Devonshire cream tea! During the day, you will see locations that Agatha used in her stories, and hear more about the fictional characters that frequented these places. You can try a Miss Marple cocktail if you so wish, and I'll be taking plenty of photos for you that I will send to you afterward. So, a stimulating day visiting many beautiful and interesting locations, but please message me before booking so I can check availability for Greenway.
I collect you at 9 am, then we drive to Anstey's Cove, which we walk down to. Then via Kents Cavern, we drive to Meadfoot Beach and past Hesketh Terrace. We park at The Imperial Hotel, then walk down to Torquay harbour and seafront, seeing various places of interest relevant to Agatha. We then head to The Grand Hotel for coffee or a Miss Marple cocktail! Then we have a tasty lunch at The Railway Inn, hopefully sitting in what they call 'the Agatha Christie Corner' (subject to availability). Afterward, we go to Greenway, where we will have a wander around the beautiful house and gardens, learning more about Agatha and her life. We end the day with a traditional Devonshire cream tea (time and appetite allowing!), then I return you to your accommodation at approximately 5. 30pm.

As your driver guide, I will take you around in my Ford Galaxy people carrier, which can comfortably take 6 adult passengers. It is a 2015 model in very good, clean condition. I have public liability insurance, and all the other licences and insurances as required of me by my local authority. This day involves quite a bit of walking, but can be tailored somewhat to suit different abilities.
