Wow! I cannot give this tour more praise. Our guide took us to all of the places in the brochure, plus many wonderful little side trips. We saw the Dartmoor ponies, sheep in the mist, clapper bridges, hillside giants and horses carved in the ground, and small villages that transported us back in time. Our home base had a wonderful little pub with some of the best food I've eaten.
The only negative comment I have is to the city of Winchester. I traveled to the UK to study King Arthur, and when I tried to get in to the Great Hall to take pictures of the round table, it was closed for a private function. I snuck past the workers and got my pics anyway. They yelled at me, but I just kept taking pictures. Boo Winchester. Don't close your history to the public just for private functions.
Our group consisted of eight people, counting ourselves, and it was small enough to get to know one another, eat together each evening, and make great friendships. There were hugs and sharing of addresses when all was done. This was the best tour we took in our two weeks in England. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
Great stuff--would recommend. Hotel accommodations were first class. Guide knew his history.

The tour was not well structured and the tour guide did not provide a commentary which I had hoped for as I had my kids teens with me and they could have been further inspired by commentaries n King Arthur's legends, Thomas Hardy's life and times and Jane Austen's life in these parts. He did not even venture any comments about Stonehenge and its origins! It was truly difficult and I can appreciate that to drive these long distances were tiring. However, the guide/driver could have a microphone to speak to his passengers. The rest of the tour items like accommodation and meals were commendable. Overall, I think we have lost a great deal of the beauty and information, culture and life of the Devon Cornwall country due to the lack of information. Maybe even some written itinerary and comments about the sights would have helped make the stops more interesting and awesome.
