The tour was PERFECT! Our guide Pete was knowledgeable about the history of the area, The weather was perfect, except for the last day's drive back to London. I stayed in B and B's and that was ideal. Close to town and restaurants, comfortable.and welcoming. Pete even dropped us off close to my hotel in London, on the return to Victoria. I would recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed the small group. We selected to stay in the B and B's and that seems to have been the correct choice, hotels were further away. Our driver was great, flexible with time. Would use your services again.
