Embark on an adventure through South East England’s finest, where regal towns, show-stealing stately homes and manicured gardens meet. Bask in the warmer climes of Kew’s magnificent Victorian palm house, feel the buzz of Windsor’s medieval streets and indulge in the traditional flavours of afternoon tea. The jewel in your journey’s crown? The RHS Chelsea Flower Show – bursting with kaleidoscopic colours and dazzling displays that invite you to be swept away by their beauty.

Worth Noting…

You can choose between two directions on this tour: Westbound or Eastbound. Westbound heads to Windsor first, whilst Royal Tunbridge Wells is the first stop on Eastbound.

Our 2027 Westbound tours departing on the 16 and 17 May will visit the Chelsea Flower Show on an exclusive Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Member day. This provides guests with special access to flower displays in their prime. 

If you join our Westbound tour on the 17 or 19 May, you will enjoy a private tour of Ightham Mote’s serene gardens instead of The Savill Garden.

What to Expect

Blue Roads Tours are conducted at a leisurely pace; we take our time and avoid rushing from place to place.  Stops are made frequently during the day to avoid extended periods of time on the coach.  On a typical day they might leave at 9am and arrive at the hotel at 5pm.  We endeavor to build rest and relaxation time into our itineraries, an most inclusions are not mandatory – so if you’d rather explore on your own, you’re welcome to meet up with the group at the designated meeting point. 

The Blue Roads Tours are designed so that there is as little time as possible on the mini-coach and plenty to see while on board.  We travel along the scenic route wherever possible, meaning you’ll see more of the countryside and local village life than on a regular tour.  Inevitable, there are days when travelling between locations may involve motorway driving and more mileage.  Generally, driving time will not last for more than three or four hours per day.

​Physical Activity Level: There is a considerable amount of walking. Your Tour Leader will guide walking tours on your itinerary. Also, many historic cities prohibit motorized transport, so this means that your driver may need to park some distance out of the city centre.

Please note: If you have a mobility problem or concern, you may not find our Blue Road tours suitable. Contact us if you have any doubts.
