Eva our guide was amazing. My wife loved it. Thanks
A good walk, led by Michael, who was very knowledgeable, not just about Downton Abbey, but about other uses of the buildings covered, their former uses, owners, etc. The walk focused on the uses of various locations in Central London, with the aid of prints of scenes from the programme, but included extensive factual historical background. Michael is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide.
This was a fantastic tour! So many sites, so much information about filming DA and also historical information about the sites. It was a lovely, quiet part of London and we saw so many places we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Our guide, Michael, was so full of information and so much fun. This is a "Don't Miss" tour! Highly recommend and hopefully you'll get Michael for your guide.
Micheal was a fantastic guide , knowledgeable , humorous and educational . We are now looking to book other tours led by him . We would highly recommend .
Michael gave us all the Downton info about locations, with a big picture book that let us see the scenes from the show, and then he also knew the history about the real people behind the buildings too. Fascinating history of people and times. We enjoyed this tour inmensely.

Chris was amazing and we considered ourselves lucky to have him as our tour guide. We both really enjoyed the Downton Abbey London Walking Tour. The group size was just right and although there was quite a bit of walking the time seemed to go quickly. We were given the tickets as a Christmas gift and we could not have had a better present. It was so interesting to see the buildings used in Downton Abbey and understand how they improvised to get the authentic look.
A really interesting tour. I was surprised just how many London locations were used for filming 'York' and 'Ripon' and other locations. Chris was a great guide and had stills photos from Downton Abbey to jog our memories of the scenes - which really added to the experience. I thoroughly recommend this tour.
Really good tour, with an excellent guide. Lots of other interesting facts given about the places we saw, however, at times, there was more about other things than about Downtown Abbey, which was a little disappointing. Overall a good day.
We really enjoyed the Downton Abbey tour. Our guide was so much fun, and knowledgeable. He shared photographs of the areas around London that doubled up as a different area completely. We went to some side streets that I would never have known about, some beautiful areas of London. Thank you so much.
