What people love about England Tours for Seniors
- London Explorer (8 Days)
Trip was very good, managed to see all of the top tourist attractions in 8 days. Trafalger tour guide was terrific. Only criticisms were the Tower Hotel room desperately needed an update and the London traffic was horrendous causing us to spend needless hours on the tour bus in and out of London.
- Best of Devon and Cornwall (8 Days)
We saw an incredible amount of sights but the days were very long. Bags outside the door at 7am and on bus by 8am. Sometimes not back until 8:30 pm. St. Ives was like the Jersey shore. Far too commercial. Would have preferred Port Wenn. Wonderful group of people. Guide was very good but walked too fast. But indeed very caring and lots of fun!!
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
Guide took us to places told us some history, took us to important spots but then we had total freedom to choose what we did- energetic or more sedate for those like me with a sore knee. Safe and good tour for women on their own.
