Hello,
My husband John and I returned from an unforgettable September trip to England. From the moment we first contacted Barry, until the end of the trip, the experience was one we will never forget. During the initial planning phase, involving numerous phone calls and emails, all of our questions were promptly answered, and our primary interests were factored into our itinerary. We chose pub stays, and the accommodations chosen were perfect. Just our cup of tea!!
After all, who has stayed in a pub built in 1402?! Our love of old churches,castles, historical sites, beautiful gardens, stone buildings and craggy cliffs was wonderfully fulfilled.
It was definitely ‘our’ trip. A wonderful trip booklet was provided, and all airport pickups,drop offs, reservations, flights, and schedules went off without a hitch. Such a relaxing, pressure-free way to travel. The weather was also a gift. I think we only needed our umbrella once during the whole time!
We had the best driver/guides ever!
Tanya took care of us in Kent.
We had a wonderful time together, enjoyed each other’s company, and learned so many interesting details about history from her. We hiked the white cliffs of Dover, climbed castle steps, explored National Trust estates together, and relaxed over lunch, one treat after another! She is a gem!
On the next stage of our trip, Louise took us under her wing, and introduced us to the wonders of Cornwall. So friendly and outgoing. We bonded immediately. She took us to all of her favourite natural places, off the beaten track, which is what we love. We trekked one gorgeous craggy coastline and cliff after another together. We were in awe. Wonderful seafood feasts together. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with Louise.
Will was our companion through Oxford and the Cotswolds. He arranged an extra unexpected tour of Oxford University while we were there.
We never stopped learning and enjoying and being amazed for the whole trip. We feel that we formed personal relationships with our driver/guides, and are privileged to have spent time with them. They shared their home turf with us, and gave us a travel experience that we will treasure always.
Thank you Barry and team.
John and Lynne Bechberger,
