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.

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.
