Excellent guide for this tour.

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide Andy was excellent. My daughter and I felt this was the best tour out of our entire trip. First, Andy is the most personable person and we truly enjoyed spending time with him. Secondly, Andy is extremely knowledgeable of England’s history and battles and for this tour he got us in front of every event. He was 2 steps ahead of the crowded and activities that we saw. Thoroughly enjoyed this event and really learned so much! Thank you.

Excellent guide for this tour.

Great tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Tour guide was Wesley and he communicated prior to tour, providing contact details also. We happen to be only ones on tour that day and it was terrific as we could move at our own pace which was fast, which we then got prime spots at various locations. Thoroughly enjoyed
