Did this brilliant tour today. I emerged thoroughly intrigued despite having no previous knowledge or particular interest in the spy world. My brother, an avid reader of spy fiction, thought it was excellent too. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and very generous with his time, expertly answering all our questions throughout and after the tour. Highly recommended. More

It was icy cold, like a bad day at the Kremlin, but by the end of our two and a half hour walk, we were warmed through with enough tales of espionage and double double crossing to make us feel as if we'd just spent the afternoon sipping rum and coke with Ian Fleming at Goldeneye. Mr "X", our intelligence... More

From beginning to end this trail was full of fascinating information and quirky facts. It gave a great insight into the intelligence agencies, their agents and operations over the years while keeping it light hearted and humourous which makes a great difference on a 2 hr 30min outdoor trail, especially when its freezing! While giving an account of key happenings,... More
