 Just back from a wonderful afternoon walk in Leytonstone on the Hitchcock tour (early years) c/o Gary Lewis. A highly recommended tour of the area in which Hitchock was born and spent his early formative years. 

Stewart C, Ware, Herfordshire
     

 A charming and fascinating guide through Leytonstone's local history and the iconic filmmaker it produced. 

Delmar DB, Syndney, Australia

 A terrific tour! Gary offers a fascinating insight into the world of a young Alfred Hitchcock, and how his formative years shaped so much of his career. He is extremely knowledgable of the great director and the local area. 

Alfred J., Leytonstone

 We live near to the area and found the tour to be fascinating as we could remember a lot of buildings and areas being described. Gary is very friendly and knowledgeable and you really get the inside story that not many people know about. A fascinating insight. So pleased to have Gary to talk us through Hitchcock's life in Leytonstone. Highly recommended. We loved it! 

Anita Woods, Wanstead E11
     

 Thank you for a very informative tour Gary. Having lived in the area for years it was great to find out some much local history and how the area influenced Hitchcocks many amazing films. Keep up the good work, 

Caroline and Ann, Snaresbrook, London E11

 A great informative walking tour of Hitchcock’s early life & upbringing. The guide, Gary, knows his subject really well & gives a history of Leytonstone’s cinemas as well. Recommended. 

Kevin Jackson, Shepherd's Bush, London W12
     

 I went on the Graveyard Shift with my elderly dad and his friend. We found our tour guide, Gary, to be highly knowledgeable on every point of interest. He had clearly done his historical research, and was very open to questions at the end of the tour. All in all we found it an informative and entertaining experience. Oonagh Dawson

 Very interesting and informative walk/talk (The Graveyard Shift) with Gary and lots of chatter in between. The walk was at a steady pace and lots of information to think about. Many thanks Gary, a great afternoon for Hazel and me.

 Excellent guide - Gary was so knowledgable and friendly. Leytonstone is so full of history. The existing buildings can be seen in a new light. 

Ravisha Chibber, South Woodford, London E18
    

 An excellent tour by Gary, who is very knowledgeable & friendly. The walk was a gift for my brother's birthday & we both thoroughly enjoyed it, learning lots of early information about 'Hitch' that neither of us knew. 

Brenda Messenger, Stratford London E15
     

 Really great tour, Gary is really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Hitchcock and his links and influences from Leytonstone.

 Leytonstone, London. Hitchcock’s birthplace 😊 And thanks to Gary Lewis for the insightful tour through Leytonstone. 

Paul Lesch, Luxembourg
     

 This was one of the best tours I’ve been on, Gary was a wonderful host, thank you so 

Gary Garner, Harlow, Essex
     

 Walking through the Leytonstone streets adds another dimension to Hitchcock film fans...it is to Gary's credit that his tour adds to our knowledge. 

Geoff Mann, Walthamstow, London E17
     

 Just been on Gary Lewis’ in Hitchcock’s Steps’ Walk. I have lived in the area for over 40 years and Gary told me so much I didn’t know about Alfred Hitchcocks life and film connections to Leytonstone. He is an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. It would make a great gift for a birthday perhaps or a good reason to explore the High Road. 

Caryle Webb-Ingall, Leyton E10
     

 Very much enjoyed Gary’s tour - lots of local history about where Hitch grew up, from a local guide who knows the area well, and fabulous to see the birds mural and site where Hitchcock was born. 

Alys Cummings, Walthamstow E17
     

 I signed up for Gary’s tour after seeing his poster at a coffee shop in Upminster. Gary treated my wife, sister and myself to a fascinating walk through of Hitchcock’s historical association with Leytonstone. Despite being quite familiar with the area (or so we thought!), almost everything was a revelation – we loved the pictorial ‘cameos’ of Hitchcock around the town! Thank you, Gary! 

Martin McCall, Upminster, Essex
     

 G'day Gary, what mine of information you are. Not only was the 'In the Footsteps of Hitchcock' fascinating, but you took time to point out other significant points of historical interest around Leytonstone that few would be aware of - particularly an old pub that had a rifle range in the back yard complete with bullet holes in the wall ! I bet not many people knew that. 

Bruce Hunt, Perth, Western Australia
     

 Thanks so much for a very interesting tour. We will be back again and we will spread the word in the meantime. 

Dan Chatterley, Leyton E10
     

 As a fan of Alfred Hitchcock's since the age of 8, coming to Leytonstone and seeing the roots of my favorite filmmaker was a dream come true! And it's all thanks to the knowledge and guidance of Gary Lewis!
