Tour Itinerary
Step back in time to the 1890's- London is a city of foggy cobbled streets and clattering horse drawn hansom cabs. Once night falls the capital's greatest criminal minds plan their evil deeds in the shadows of the flickering gas lamps.
Your party's own London Magical Tours team will take you on an exclusive journey through a Victorian London divided by a great class war. The rich engulfed themselves in the fashions of the day while the poor struggled in a Dickensian world of sleazy slums and alleyways. Reports of the mutilations of Jack the Ripper terrorised society and yet titillated them at the same time. London needed a new hero: enter Sherlock Holmes!
Be guided along the Baker Street area to discover Holmes and Watson's London base. Visit many of our hero's favourite locations as mentioned by Conan Doyle in the stories, including the spot where Holmes met Watson for the first time. See the settings where attempts were made on Sherlock Holmes' life, including the most famous attempt by Holmes' nemesis, Moriarty.
Enjoy sightseeing away from the masses. Forget parking problems as your chauffeur driven vehicle stops next to the sights, leaving your Sherlock Holmes guide free to take you out to share anecdotes and discover the stories behind the world's greatest detective.
