If you’re a fan of the hit BBC TV show Sherlock then this is the tour for you. Meeting you at your hotel or convenient tube station, this private tour will take you to some of the best known and most important locations as seen on Sherlock.
Visit the real street and see the actual door of Sherlock and Watson's home. See their favourite cafe and have a cup of tea there if you like! We’ll also visit the spot where Watson gets dragged into the world of Sherlock and see the actual place where Sherlock famously dies when he falls off that roof-top.
The tour also includes a visit to 221B Baker Street itself, the famous home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective for that chance to buy some Sherlock memorabilia, and a visit to New Scotland Yard, home of the Metropolitan Police, the oldest professional police service in the world and one that features heavily in the original stories and the new TV show.

With the help of great partners, we offer you to taste the various products of Hungary.
Let it be meat, jam, fruit or vegetables, chocolate or coffee, we can take you to the nicest places in the downtown. We visit markets to sample traditional ingredients as well as bio products. During the tour you can taste soup, the soul of Magyar cuisine, artisan ice-cream and hard candy at a family run business. Chocolate specialities will make your mouth water and great coffee awaits you at historical places. Ideal before and after lunch.
Surely, you have heard of Goulash (we actually spell it Gulyás), paprika and maybe pálinka. They are basics in traditional Hungarian cuisine, of course. We usually start a “proper lunch” with soup, but did you know we also have several vegetable and fruit soups we enjoy in summer? Hungarians do use a considerable amount of paprika but it`s not necessarily hot and you can also get paprika paste sweet or spicy… And besides the strong pálinka spirit “which can virtually be made of any fruit jam is made of” – as a funny saying goes, there are quality wines and artisan beers accompanying a dish.
The latest revolution in Budapest has been a more quiet but more enduring one, the “culinary revolution” of the last 6-8 years. So there is a wide range of products and places you can choose from.
Meeting in front of famous Güllüoğlu Baklava Shop at Karaköy, one of the oldest districts of İstanbul.
Traditional breakfast amongst the variety of authentic eatery shops.

Hike the GR20 in Corsica, one of the most beautiful mountain treks in the world. Over 13 days, we hike 110mi (180km) in mountainous terrain, rising from the Mediterranean Sea to granite peaks topping 8,530ft (2,600m). Rather than take the classic north-to-south route, we head in the opposite direction, with the sun on our backs, a quieter trail, and the toughest legs at the end of the trip. You won’t be doing it alone either. The adventure is guided by an experienced International Mountain Leader with expert knowledge on the route and you’ll be part of a small group of like-minded hikers ready with words of encouragement.
