Historical Heritage Tours - In our Historic Heritage Tours we journey to see many of the castles, cathedrals, country houses, towns and cities which remain as lasting legacies to Britain’s cultural and social changes.

NEW! Art Trails day trips to visit working artists in their studios, an art gallery, some beautiful views of the countryside and a traditional English tea. In 2017 Art Trails will focus upon artists in Cumbria and Northumberland with picking up points in Newcastle, Carlisle and Edinburgh.

Traveling with us you will have a very comfortable, relaxing,  informative and enjoyable experience. We pride ourselves on customer care and will make that extra effort to ensure that your holiday with us will be one of the best you have ever had. Many of the Tours are flexible and allow for those only wanting to undertake part of an advertised  tour, to  do so with a minimum of fuss. So if you are planning to tour independently but interested on coming along for a day or two for an “Old School Travel Experience” contact us to find out more.

If you are thinking that some parts of our tours would be fun to combine with your own travel plans. Remember that many of them can be tailored to suit your requirements and in some cases can be undertaken in part, subject to prior arrangements being made. Contact us for further details.
