Learning from a local tour guide can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your holiday to England. With so many tours available with similar destinations and timings, it can be very difficult finding the best option.
With over 12 years experience in the industry, as well as a history degree, you can be sure that your guide will be fully entertaining and informative. We understand that it's not always the best way to add so many dates and times that all of this history can become blurry and difficult to understand.
Ironically, no matter how much a tour guide knows about a particular subject, one of the hardest things to do is to explain our past in a way that is both entertaining and memorable. Whether you are retired and have a lot knowledge about British history or you are a family with children, I guarantee you will leave this tour fascinated to learn more about this magnificent country.
