    · November 7th, 2025
    Wonderful Tour Manager. Gail Bryant was fun, informative, very personable, and extremely helpful throughout the trip. Military Tattoo was very impressive. The local guide in Edinburgh was very good. Lake District was nice and welcomed the opportunity to go on a hike. Liverpool local guide was not very good. Felt rushed and wasn't much of a storyteller which we feel is an important part of being a guide. Wished we had more time to explore the Cotswalds and Cornwall. Good guide though. Overall, we enjoyed the Small Group Adventure tour. Smaller group made it easier to get to know and enjoy everyone.

    The tour itself was very nice and our tour manager Tish was wonderful. Some of our accommodations were below average with musky smelling rooms, uncomfortable beds and isolated locations.
