What people love about England Tours for Seniors
- 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.
- 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.
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
Positives _ Kate our tour guide went above and beyond when faced with several challenges e.g tyre issue; also the places visited were amazing. Negative _ the substitute minibus was not suitable as several people had to sit facing backwards and it was very squashed at the back; also the driver drove very erratically.
