Overview

Arguably, the greatest British sitcom of all time was inspired by a stay at a Torquay hotel!

Fawlty Towers was and remains as one of Britain's greatest situation comedies. In 1975 the public were introduced to Basil, Sybil, Manuel & Polly at Torquay's most chaotic hotel

It is appropriate that our Fawlty Towers walking tour is set in Torquay, Devon - apparently, it's the only one in the world!

This tour is a light-hearted trip down memory lane to reminisce and enjoy the story of Fawlty Towers. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments along the way and great photo opportunities.....but no Riff-Raff are permitted!
