Did the tour on Saturday, November 30. Fiona was our tour guide and she was excellent. I thought this would be a good, different type of tour to do and it did not disappoint. Got a lot of fun information on the shooting of the Sherlock series and movies. I really appreciated how they had stills from the shows/movies we could compare to the locations we were standing in. The entire tour was interesting and informative. Looking forward to doing another tour on a different movie/series next time I visit.
