Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a very disappointing tour. We were taken to locations which were not the main locations of the show and in many cases were un-recognisable due to redevelopment in subsequent years that it begged the question of whether it was worth putting on the tour itinerary. The location for Sid's Cafe was completely unrecognisable, the location for Boycie's car showroom is now disused and in a derelict condition and you could not really identify it as being the one used in the show. In one of the locations we witnessed open drug taking on the street - not what you want to see on a guided tour. The only recognisable location was the location used for the exterior shots of Nelson Mandela House and the lock up garages. Here far too much time was spent looking at the garage door used as Del Boy's lock up and it wasn't even the actual door used in the show! While we were here a resident reversed his car from another garage toward our group and potentially could have injured someone or worse. The resident was probably fed up of seeing tour parties invading their privacy. A half time interval in a dive bar proved disappointing. Despite pre-ordering drinks, some of the tour party did not get theirs until it was nearly time to leave. We found this tour to be an underwhelming experience and not time and money well spent.

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Bill really was the creme de la menthe of tour guides and knocked us all bandy. He was very friendly and funny and really got into the spirit of the programme, and had a wealth of details that he shared with us. The tour was very well organised, Bill had a big book full of stills from the programme that he showed us to compare with the locations we were at. He also showed us clips from the programme of scenes filmed at the locations we were visiting. Part of the tour involved stopping off at the wine bar where Del fell through the bar for a drink which we thought was a nice touch (we ordered a Pina colada of course)
I've seen a negative review but I think it's a bit unfair. We saw lots of locations and most of them were recognisable, but with it being filmed over 30 years it's inevitable that some areas have changed. Where things had changed Bill carefully pointed out some points of reference that were still there. One thing to point out is all internal scenes except those at Sid's cafe were filmed in a studio, so this is a tour of the external filming locations.
Overall this was great value as it lasted for four hours, and I'd thoroughly recommend booking yourself on it. You know it makes sense.

I bought the experience for my partner for his birthday present knowing he is a big only fools and horses fan. And it did not disappoint at all, the tour host was fantastic he made us laugh and made it fun throughout, even though it was a wet day.
From start to finish it was a great tour saw all the most important places and would highly recommend.

My husband is a massive OFAH fan and wanted to go on this for ages. I am not as big a fan but have watched lots of episodes and enjoyed them so I agreed to tag along. And it was absolutely brilliant. The tour guide was lovely, very informative and was happy to take pictures of everyone. The tour even ran over but he made sure we still saw everything. It was good value for money in my view if you are a fan and it was about 4 hours I think. The tour guide had lots of little extra bits of OFAH info that he passed on too. I loved it and would definitely recommend it if you are a fan. My husband was even persuaded to dress up as batman for the famous scene ha ha

I bought this as a gift for my partner as he is a massive fan. When we had arrived my partner was really looking forward to visiting the places of the show. The guide did his best to talk us through the places but it was no where near what we had expected. We spent more time on an off the coach seeing places that wasn't the original places. The places were run down an had changed alot. There was NO going to Sids Cafe as its now known as Noahs Cafe. The flats were covered by over grown trees so u couldn't see alot plus u can't go inside as everyday people now live in it. The Red Gatage Door has been changed so even that wasn't original. The Guide told us on the way to the flats an garages that we might see a few characters around but they won't talk to u, this got us a bit excited but as we soon realised the people were actually paintings of DelBoy an Rodney on a wall 😉..soo if you have a disability and unable to walk up an down stairs on the coach and u can't walk alot, as there is alot of walking and standing around then I wouldn't recommend this tour. We learnt more about Bristol and that was not what I had paid for. Oh and please take a pack lunch an drinks with u coz u only get a 15 min break in a cocktail bar which again isn't connected to Only Fools And Horses Rour.. So overall a very disappointing day and a total waste of money!

My Son bought this tour as a birthday gift for me and we went yesterday,, which was the last tour for 2023. Being a fan of ofah since it 1st began, this tour was fantastic. My son came along with me and he enjoyed it as much as I did. He and his brother are both huge ofah fans having been brought up watching it. And I noticed that there were plenty of young people on the tour bus with us, which shows how loved the show was and still is by multi generations. The tour guide was great fun and very informative. It was a great day out. Thank you.

I attended the Brit movie only fools and horses tour yesterday around Bristol, to visit the sites used in the outdoor filming of the series. Coach picks up and drops off at temple meads train station, so easy to get to and find with plenty of parking nearby.
The tour last around 3 and half hours.
Our tour guide was Stephen and he was fantastic.
We had to wear face masks whilst traveling on the coach, but you get off frequently for fresh air!
The tour guide has a book of photos of the scenes of the place you are visiting, so you can visualise what you are seeing.
Clips of the sites are also shown on the tv on the coach.
Stephen was able to tell us things about the show and how they filmed in the area, which was great to hear!
This is a must for any ofah fan!

We booked this mainly out of curiosity as we both love the TV show. An awful day weather wise which was a pity as you are on & off a coach quite frequently within the 3 hour timeslot which includes a comfort break. Bill & Josh took us around Bristol with video clips, photos & narrative about the show visiting several iconic locations featured in the series. Highly recommended as Bill certainly bought the show to life with his knowledge & obvious love for both the show & it's creator.

Really fun tour for any fan of Only Fools and Horses. Guide Andy was really informative and driver Brad did really well with narrow streets and road closures. Amazing how much of show was shot in Bristol.

Nelson Mandela House is actually Harlech Tower in Park Road East in Acton. So what relevance has Bristol to the show?
Written 31 May 2021
It was initially filmed in London and then filming moved to Bristol. Harlech Tower in London was originally used as Nelson Mandela house, but in later episodes Whitemead House in Bristol was used. There were lots of other locations in Bristol used for filming too.
