What people love about England Tours for Seniors
- London Explorer (8 Days) (6 destinations)
Great way to see it all in one week. A little fast paced for some of the elders in our group. Hotel location was fabulous and hotel food was great, but the hotel is in desperate need of updating and maintenance. Overall a very good tour.
- Best of Devon and Cornwall (8 Days)
Our Guide was excellent, he was always cheerful, imparted fun and interesting facts about the stops on the tour.
