These fun, friendly and interactive walking tours take you to many recognisable film locations and together with your guide you can explore them with the help of stills taken from a wide variety of scenes - showing the locations as they appeared on screen. Although the tours are centered round a movie theme, you will be travelling through some historic and mysterious areas and will get to hear many more wonderful stories.

There are never more than15 guests on a tour, making it more intimate and each tour takes approximately 2 ½ hours at a leisurely pace. There are 3 Great Movie Tours available. They take place throughout the year, but must be booked in advance.
