Can you please tell me the hotel in london where we would start gardens of kent tour in 2027 as we will be starting another tour in london

We haven't confirmed this for our 2027 tours yet, but it is likely to be the Tower Suites by Blue Orchid Hotel.

I'm looking for a seven day tour from London beginning on may 8, 2025. Two seniors, guided tour, multiple towns or cities.

I would recommend the following tours we have departing from London: Corners of Cornwall for 8 days, Heart of England for 6 days, Kent: the Garden of England for 7 days. Would any of these tours interest you?

Are the Kent: Garden of England tours available for August-September 2024. Your web site says no. If they are available, HOW do I book them? I am in the US. I need to book a British Air flight soon so I need to know dates.

We do have some dates in August and September 2024 - Sat 17 Aug Fri 23 Aug, Sat 7 Sep Fri 13 Sep (Guarantee Departure), Sat 21 Sep Fri 27 Sep. If you would like to advise us which dates suit you best and what room type you are looking for we can save a quote for you.

  What does "Guarantee Departure" mean? Why is it only next to 1 of 3 tours? I have to buy nonrefundable overseas plane tickets based on these dates.
- Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written September 2023
  Our Guaranteed Departures are guaranteed to do ahead on the dates advertised. The trips that are non-guaranteed are because we have not hit the minimum number of passengers for the trip to go ahead on the dates provided. This means there is a chance if we don't have enough passengers, the tour can be cancelled.
