What people love about England Tours for Seniors
- 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!!
- London Explorer
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.
- Real Britain (9 Days) (9 destinations)
Places we saw were wonderful. Director was good and accommodations were satisfactory.
