Guided tours

Is your group visiting the English Riviera looking to experience all it has to offer? Or are you an independent traveller keen to get to the heart of the resort? You'll find your trip all the more memorable with a tour from one of our excellent local guides.

The English Riviera is full of fascinating history, from its colourful famous residents to its geological heritage, and local guides John Risdon, Frank Turner and Joan Nott are your ticket to uncovering more information.

Our guides can take you on walks along the Agatha Christie Mile, help you discover the depths of the English Riviera Geopark, accompany you on driving tours of the Agatha Christie Literary Trail and much more. There are also marine and countryside rangers from the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust for exploring the coves, inlets and headlands of the English Riviera.

If you're looking for a guide, give the Visitor Information Centres a call and they will be happy to help.
