Fantastic Experience

Thank you again for making this adventure come alive as we did a 3 day tour of the D day battlefields in Normandy France.

What a fantastic experience to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather and his comrades. Loved every minute of the experience.

Fantastic 3 Day Tour

What a fantastic 3 day tour we had with Ian, his knowledge of the Northumbian history from the Romans, Vikings, to present day is second to none. Brilliant tour guide and driver, very funny man as well. Will definitly be back and book with Travel England tours next time we travel across to the UK.

WWI 10 day tour Belgium & France

Thank you so much for an amazing tour experience, and for giving me the opportunity to see places I've only ever seen in books. Your masterful crafted tour helped bring me closer to a part of history that I love, and now I love it even more. Thank you for a one of a kind experience.

Memorable tour of the Somme Battlefield

Thank you so much for being so generous with your knowledge, enthusiam, and hospitality.

I've really enjoyed your memorable tour of the Somme battlefield and its history which you made engaging and informative.

Wonderful Journey

What a wonderful journey you have created for us. We have learned so much about Cornwall and its wonderful people.

Thank you so much Ian. Looking forward to meeting you again next year.

Wonderful Tour of the Cotswolds, Devon, and Cornwall.

Thank you so much for all that you done to ensure that we had a wonderful tour of the Cotswolds, Devon, and Cornwall. We would not have seen half as much if we have toured on our own.

Battle of Britain Day

We have been to London many times, and did not know this Battle of Britain bunker was there. Brilliant experience! I was standing in the spot where Churchill stood during the battle. We than travelled on to Bletchley park which is another outstanding experience, I learned so much in there, you could spend half a day in there on its own. As an enthusistic follower of WWII what a great experience and day out. Thank you Ian and Travel England Tours.

World War One Battlefields Booked a 5 day tour of World War One battle fields and monuments one France and Belgium. Everything from the start to the end of the tour was very well organised and operated on a very professional manner. The tour guide Ian was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history and overall overview of the battlefields and the war itself. The organisation of accommodation, access to sites and travel between areas was exemplary, nothing was a problem Looking forward to my next tour

Excellent tour in a beautiful area of the UK I took a 6 day tour of South West England with two others and had an excellent experience. Ian was very prompt, knowledgeable of the area and its history and created an upfront itinerary which he adapted to our individual preferences. The car and ride was comfortable with bottled water on hand. A truly great experience in a most beautiful part of the country. We will definitely use Travel England Tours for future trips in the UK.

An amazing experience Ian took us for an amazing tour across Cornwall for 2 days. We managed to get some great weather and also saw some of the iconic locations, St Michael's Mount, Port Isaac and Padstow, just to name a few. Big thank you to Travel England Tours for making it happen, they're the best.

Stratford-Upon-Avon, Chester, York, Durham, Bamburgh, New Castle (Thanks Ian and Dean!!!!) Great trip and excellent traveling with Ian. The history, food, and views were fantastic! Ian got us safely from one point to another, and was a lot of fun! When traveling, it is great to know about the area and the best places to go. Travel England Tours definitely has great recommendations and gives you the freedom you want when traveling while being at your service. We really enjoyed Ian and also the new places on our adventure. Ian definitely looks out for you and has a great passion for what he does and his business! Cheers! Our second part of England was with Dean. We got to see so much of the beautiful countryside and explore the history of Hadrian's Wall. We made it to Bebbanburg, a.k.a Bamburgh Castle! A must-see for "Last Kingdom" fans! Dean took us to some great spots and pointed out a Chippy in Durham, where we had the best Fish n' Chips ever, and a great little Italian Spot in Hexham! We finished up in New Castle, which is easily one of our favorites. Cheers!

You can't go wrong with Travel England and Ian Ian was wonderful from start to finish. I was able to make adjustments that suited our group to the 5 day Cornwall and Devon tour, and once we were on the tour we were able to adjust for weather and time without problem. Ian was a terrific and solicitous guide and accommodated all our needs. He was also incredibly knowledgable about the region and we saw so much! If we vacation again in the areas he serves we will certainly book with him again.

FANTASTIC We worked with Ian to plan an itinerary of SW England that worked for our "girls' trip". He did a great job of helping us create a trip where we saw a lot of things and let us maximize our time.' During the trip when we had the occasional weather interference he was able to create a "plan B". He was also very attentive to the needs and abilities of my aunt who is less mobile than she used to be. Booking through his company was SO worth it!!!

Exceptional Day Out One of the best private tours i have ever joined. The tour guide Ian is very knowledgable about every bit of Cornwall and we were very much enjoyed every bit of the day tour. The only downside was we didn't have time to stay in this beautiful place for longer.

We experienced incredible views, amazing landmarks & learned so much about history thanks to Ian! Ian and Travel England Tours are awesome! My mother and I spent 8 days traveling with Ian around South West AND South East England. We made so many good memories and had a blast thanks to the organization and communication provided by Travel England Tours. To start, we had a zoom call about 6 or 7 months prior to our trip where I explained what we were interested in seeing. He then put together an awesome itinerary! This led to one of the best vacations I'll ever have. We visited Stonehenge, Lulworth Cove/Durdle Door, Plymouth, Post Bridge, Tintagel Castle, Land's End, St. Michael's Mount, Bath, Lacock, Canterbury, Dover Castle and Brighton to name a few! And all the while in an extremely comfortable and safe vehicle. Ian knows so much about the history, the people and the land in all of the different regions we went through. He's basically a wikipedia page for every location and could answer every question we had. We experienced incredible views, amazing landmarks, learned so much about historical figures and time periods - it's just the best thing ever. One last thing I'll say is that we are from the states but we have Cornish ancestry. I told Ian ahead of time about some of the genealogy work I did and wouldn't you know it, he was able to incorporate a trip to St. Maybn where we found the gravestone of my 5th Great Grandmother! Ian knew the whole area so we were able to see what our ancestors saw by walking through their village and going to the church where they were baptized. Absolutely phenomenal experience! My mother and I will remember it forever and without a doubt, talk about it constantly. Thank you so much Ian!!
