Author Agatha Christie was known as the ‘Queen of Crime’.

The Agatha Christie English Riviera Experience, developed in partnership with local guide Graham Kerr and Kents Cavern, invites groups to uncover the real-life inspirations behind the world’s most famous crime novelist – all within the beautiful backdrop of her hometown, Torquay.

Guests will enjoy a captivating presentation on Agatha’s life at their hotel, a tour on the group’s coach of key Riviera landmarks, an immersive guided walk through Kents Cavern – a prehistoric cave tied to Christie’s family and featured in one of her novels – and a traditional Devonshire cream tea to close the day.

With over 600 five-star reviews to his name, Graham Kerr leads the first half of the experience with insight and warmth - making it ideal for both seasoned Christie fans and curious newcomers. 

In the afternoon, the Showcave and prehistoric marvel Kents Cavern takes centre stage as part of a specially curated Agatha Christie-themed cave tour led by an expert guide, before relaxing with a cream tea on-site.

Bookings are now open for trade and tour operators planning 2025/26 itineraries. 

Tickets are priced at £29.75 per person. The experience lasts approximately four to five hours, requires minimal walking, and is available year-round for groups of 15 or more.
