Fully Guided Tours & Trips in England
Imagine wandering through Winchester's historic sites where kings were crowned, visiting iconic Stonehenge circles at sunrise when it's less crowded. You'll discover Dartmoor's wild landscapes with its granite tors and wild ponies, see King Arthur's legendary Tintagel where castle ruins cling to cliffs, and tour ancient St. Michael's Mount across the tidal causeway. Five days of Stonehenge, Devon, and Cornwall done properly.

The locations were interesting, the guide, Matt, was helpful and considerate in making the trip enjoyable for us. The first Air BnB was basic but okay, yet I and others could not have dinner due to us arriving in the dark, and me being expected to find my way in the dark to walk to a cafe, I could not risk getting lost. The hotel on my last night was improved. I feel that the trip in the information is aimed at ages 16 to 99 which is unrealistic I am 71 and keep myself fit, yet a couple of the locations were not easy for me to complete, one I had to miss at Tintagel due to the steepness of the hill and the other at Durdle Door was only possible because the guide kindly helped me walk down the steep hill. I feel this needs to be mentioned in the information upon booking. Kind regards, Christine
4 Day Cornwall, Devon & Stonehenge Small-Group Tour from BristolWhat a wonderful experience we have had on our “Cotswolds, Castles & Cottages” Tour. Our visit to Sudeley Castle was delightful, Hailes Abbey and it’s historical story was made most interesting by having the portable audio commentary provided by English Heritage, and Chedworth Roman Villa is fascinating to visit. To be in the English Cotswolds countryside is an opportunity which we have been so lucky to have had. It was a delight to walk amongst all these ancient thatched cottages. As our Tour Leader had already told us, the Cotswold Cottages are beautifully preserved and it has been awesome to be able to enjoy being amongst them with their magnificent English gardens full of the perfume of their beautiful Roses and their unbelievable colours, and together with all the awesome varieties of English flowers in these gardens, was admired by us all our cameras have recorded amazing memories.
Cotswolds Walking TourA busy but not exhausting 5 days. Good quality hotels. An outstanding driver and guide in Helen.
