“The tour manager ( Karen ) was fantastic , so organised and looking after the group so well . The whole trip went very well apart from the long explanations from the local guides , these could have been a lot shorter

“Fantastic guide Deborah. Crowded hotel with enclosed space for breakfast. Last meal in hotel in the restaurant bore no resemblance to first meal in back room. No choice! Wine offered very very late bread came at end of first course. Did not enjoy it. Horrible smell throughout hotel one morning.

D Chillingworth
4 stars
“A most interesting trip, with some spectacular sights, although rather a lot of time (two days out of six) was spent sitting on trains or coaches. The tour manager was very pleasant and helpful, although not himself familiar with the area. Hotel was pleasantly located by the river, if a little distant from the main attractions of the holiday - which perhaps helped to keep the price down. Early start from St Pancras demanded overnight stay and added to the cost - though it was an enjoyable evening in London!
