Journey to the Garden of England and visit the historic city of Canterbury with its magnificent cathedral, head down to the coast to see the famous White Cliffs of Dover.

We begin the day by heading Eastwards out of London to the county of Kent, known as the Garden of England with its fertile, mild climate. It has long been associated with the growing of produce for London so look out for orchards, vineyards and hop fields with their distinctive oast houses as we travel down leafy lanes to Canterbury. Here in this delightful city we enjoy an informative walking tour then a chance to see inside Canterbury Cathedral, learning of the arrival of Pope Gregory's ambassador St Augustine in 597 to convert the local population to Christianity. We also learn of the brutal murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170 and the reasons behind this bloody crime.

After some free time, a short drive will take us to the edge of England, right by the famous White Cliffs of Dover. Time to dip a toe in the English Channel and admire the views of Dover Castle (and France, if the weather is clear!) before we drive to the top of the cliffs to visit the Battle of Britain Memorial and learn of the brave pilots and crew that fought against the enemy during the dark days of 1940.

We finish the day at the 'loveliest castle in the world' by heading over to stately and historic Leeds Castle with its charming grounds and beautiful old fortress standing in the middle of a lake. Learn of the English Queens who have owned the home over the many centuries and its links to royalty and the rich and famous of more recent times.

A wonderful day exploring the beautiful city of Oxford and the quintessential Cotswold villages of Bampton, Burford and Bibury.

We recommend this tour for anyone with limited time who wants to experience the city of Oxford and the Cotswolds villages on a relaxed day out from the city.

Departing: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun (All Year)

We head north west out of London for the day, passing close to Pinewood Film Studios – the home of James Bond – and through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We travel through the picturesque countryside that inspired the television shows, Midsummer Murder and Vicar of Dibley, before arriving in Oxford, home to the oldest English-speaking university in the world. Oxford is a great literary centre where JRR Tolkein wrote Lord of the Rings and CS Lewis wrote Alice in Wonderland. With over 1,500 listed buildings and a history dating back more than 1000 years, you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges, climb one of the vantage points to take in the skyline view of the ‘City of Dreaming Spires’ or view the rich art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum. We spend the afternoon touring the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds with their tiny ironstone cottages that have remained unchanged for centuries. We’ll visit Bampton, a village with a long association with traditional Morris Dancing.You can explore its magnificent parish church of St Mary in which many iconic scenes from Downton Abbey were filmed. Our next stop is in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’, a small market town with enormous character and a huge history. Its main street is lined with quintessential ironstone cottages and properties, the essence of the Cotswolds. You will have plenty of time to take in the local charm and hospitality, perhaps taking afternoon tea. Finally, we will make the short journey to Bibury, described by William Morris as the prettiest village in England, and the place that Henry T Ford wished to dismantle and ship back to the USA. Here we will have time to stroll past the famous Arlington Row, almost of doll’s house proportions, and the old woollen mill. After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds we’ll embark on the comfortable return journey to London, arriving back at Victoria around 7.00pm.

Traveling via one of “the prettiest villages of England” Castle Combe, we’ll make our way to our main destination of Bath, the city of Georgian splendor and Roman antiquity. In Bath, your guide will take you on an orientation tour of Jane Austen’s city. This place was enjoyed by the social set of the 18th and 19th centuries, a setting for many writers. Austen fans will immediately recognize several streets and squares from her novels such as Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Visit the Bath Jane Austen Centre then you’ll have free time so you can explore Bath as you please.

With its magnificent abbey, half timbered cottages and greystone houses, it provides a perfect setting. This lovely place has been used as a film set for many popular films such as the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle production of Pride and Prejudice, the BBC series of Cranford and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

London Calling! Depending on your age, this is either a chance to wallow in glorious nostalgia, or grab an 'education' in Rock history, its legends and myths, as your informed guide takes you on a magical, musical journey. Have those lyrics come alive and make the London connection. Over 100 iconic rock sites and locations enlivened with gossip, trivia and background information! This is a combination of both the morning and afternoon tours.

Our morning section covers Rock landmarks in bohemian Soho and the north London neighbourhoods of Camden Town, King’s Cross, Holloway and Islington.

In Soho and nearby ‘Tin Pan Alley’, Beatle fans can thrill at seeing Macca's Golden Disc covered office, the flat where he wrote 'Yesterday', their Saville theatre, the NEMS office, early club and gig sites, and their fan club offices. Here, you’ll see clubs, pubs and studios where future rock ‘gods’ like Zeppelin, the Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen and Hendrix first strutted their stuff and laid down songs that three-generations of rock fans have since toe-tapped, head-shook, shower-sung, or a fresh-air guitared to! Legendary names like UFO, Marquee, 100 Club, Roxy and Ronnie Scotts.

The Rainbow TheatreNorth of the city’s centre you’ll visit trendy Camden Town and Islington of Madness, and Brit-Pop; seeing the studios where Pink Floyd cut 'The Wall' and found their school-kids chorus; where Amy Winehouse ended her short and sad life; where the Clash made ‘London Calling’, and Queen ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. You’ll see where U2’s career got off to an inasuspicious start; where Hendrix burnt his first guitar. Add to these where Jimmy Page cut his first disc in the fateful home studio where Joe Meek (the ‘Telstar’ man) also killed his landlady. Gig sites and clubs include the legendary Klooks Kleek, the Rainbow, Roundhouse and Hope and Anchor.

Other sites covered on this fantabulous tour relate to the ‘British Invasion’ bands and progressive rockers. There’s also Hendrix, John and Yoko, Rod Stewart, Bonzo Dog Doh Dah Band, Graham Bond, Elton John, The Clash, Alexis Corner, Cream, Bob Marley, Oasis, Blur, the Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan, and more modern icons such as Amy Winehouse and Coldplay.

For lunch, you can either be dropped at the Hard Rock Café, where you’ve time to visit their impressive memorabilia vault and eat, or have lunch near our afternoon departure point.

Our afternoon section begins at 2PM, covering Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate, St John's Wood, Marylebone and the West End. We're touring sites that made the 'Sixties' swinging! See the boutiques, pubs and clubs that made a decade and inspired hundreds of well-known lyrics. For Beatle fans, there's Brian Epstein's flat, Ringo's Kings Road apartment, John and Yoko's first home, Paul's current London home, the studio where the St Pepper's cover was shot, Apple Office and boutique, EMI, the rooftop where the 'Mop Tops' the played their last ever live gig and lots more other Beatle-related landmarks. And, YES, you do get to walk across that famed ABBEY ROAD crossing!

The tour also covers where Geldof conceived Band Aid and Live Aid, where and how the Sex Pistols was formed, the Clash's neighbourhood and cradle of reggae. There are heaps of sites to please Pink Floyd and Queen fans. We pass the homes of Freddie Mercury, Bowie, Bolan, Jimmy Page, Macca, and Clapton to name a few and see where Jimi Hendix died. You never know who you might see in passing! For Stones fans there's the legendary Edith Grove apartment, various of Jagger's houses, the 'Sticky Fingers' restaurant. All this plus studios, record company offices, gig sites, secluded hotels favoured by the stars, album cover locations and story, after story, after story from your informed rock guide.

'STICKY FINGERS', the Rolling Stones memorabilia restaurant, is a great place to go for a meal after your tours. At the end of our afternoon tour, we'll drop you back at Sticky Fingers, free of charge, if you ask. It's a great way to complete your rock day!
