England Local Travel Experts

We had a great custom-designed tour to the Uk. Very organized, easy to follow, and we saw everything we wanted to see with very comfortable lodging and good locations. I am not a fan of group tours and this saved so much time when we didn't have to do all the research and reservations ourself. Highly reccomend.

I can’t begin to say what a wonderful experience it was to work with Rough Guides and especially Jane Davey. The Wales vacation that was planned for us was everything that we hoped for and more importantly, everything that we asked for. We had requested a specific type of accommodation and the two properties we were booked into were perfect. The easiest description was that the hotels had “character”. They had an “old world charm” but with up-to-date amenities. They were each centrally located and easy to reach by rail. Each location had courteous staff and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Additionally, each property had a restaurant with delicious food. The tours that were booked for us were all wonderful. We asked for the chance to see local landmarks and interesting places and each tour delivered on that request. Our guides were all friendly, knowledgeable and always on time. Finally, Jane arranged all our rail transfers, using her local knowledge. We always had the exact departure and arrival times and even the expected connection window. Her details made us feel like veteran travelers of a very busy rail system. Most importantly, when we did miss a connection, due to an airline issue, Jane’s attention to detail made us confident that we could make the necessary adjustments to get us back on schedule. It was also comforting to know that if needed, help from Rough Guides was only a phone call away. We sincerely thank Jane for her assistance, and we highly recommend Rough Guides for your next trip.
