If you're visiting the UK this year and want to explore some of its rich history - I'm your man on the spot!
There are many excellent companies offering history tours of London, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, etc. But these all follow standard, pre-set routes. If you want to do your own history tour, follow up an interesting sideline, or just linger, it's difficult or impossible to do because of the need to keep larger groups together.
I'm offering to be your Friend in England - working with you to design a history tour which will be a voyage of discovery, tailor-made to your interests; and as flexible as you wish.
From the time you contact me, I can be working on your behalf - deciding the best routes, checking out and booking accommodation, negotiating entry to sites which might not normally be open to you, sending you up to date information on your area of interest. So all you need to do is book your flight!
When the plan is finished, we'll do the history tour together in style - in my Rolls-Royce! What's your fancy?
- Roman ruins?
- Medieval castles and cathedrals?
- Stately homes?
- The Industrial Revolution?
- Or perhaps finding clues to your own family history in an English village or town?
Whatever it is, I'll research it for you. Through an ongoing dialogue we'll design a programme which will fit your individual needs and give you more inside knowledge of English history than a dozen ordinary tours.
If you don't have the time for a longer history tour I can offer one or even half day trips, or combine delivering you to or from the airport with an opportunity to see an historical gem on the way. The possibilities are endless, and each trip I make is a voyage of discovery for me, too!
