Hidden Britain Tours
Following on from the success with high praise testimonials of my first tour with paying clients, Hidden Britain Tours is up and running and I am now taking bookings for three group tours of the UK next year right after the MBT Get Together in Spain. These three tours are not being offered to the general public and are only available to our MBT friends and family.
I will only be taking six passengers on each tour so space will be extremely limited. As such, preference will be given to those of you who have already signed up for my Hidden Britain Tours mailing list.
For these tours, I will be using a Mercedes V class minibus or similar.
I have created each tour with many of my personal favorite places and things to do in mind.
This may not be the cheapest vacation you’ve ever been on but it may very well be the most spectacular!
Yes, there will be fish and chips!
Yes, there will be full English breakfasts!
Yes, there will be afternoon teas!
Yes, we will definitely be visiting more than a few of my favorite pubs!
While I mention some of the highlights of each tour below, each tour will include so much more. For example, you may find yourself on a steam train ride or doing or seeing something equally quirky. Suffice to say, each day will be packed with things to see and do.
Each tour is one week long and includes 7 nights of high end to luxurious accommodation, and you can combine tours to make a longer vacation if you’re interested.
Tour one will run from Wednesday 21st May to Wednesday 28th May.
Some of the highlights of this tour include Jane Austen’s House, the ancient capital of Britain, The New Forest, Corfe Castle, the Cerne Abbas Giant, Exmoor, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, and Bath, to name just a few.
Tour two will run from Wednesday 28th May to Wednesday 4th June.
Some of the highlights of this tour include Avebury, Lacock, Bath, Castle Combe, the ancient roman town of Cirencester, Bibury, The Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, the village from Downton Abbey, Blenheim Palace, and Oxford.
Tour three will run from Wednesday 4th June to Wednesday 11th June.
Some of the highlights of this tour include Richmond Park, Hampton Court, Windsor, Petworth, Arundel Castle, Brighton, Hever Castle, The Bluebell Railway, Alfriston, Battle Abbey, Rye, Bodiam Castle, Canterbury, and Leeds Castle.
Each tour is very different, so choose carefully.
The price for each tour is $3,200 USD per person for single occupancy or $2,400 per person for double/shared occupancy.
This price includes the tour and 7 nights accommodations with full breakfast each morning. Not included are travel to the tour starting destination, admission to sights/attractions or any meals and drinks (other than breakfast) which are at your own expense.
If you book any two back to back tours, you’ll get a 5% discount. If you book all three tours, you’ll get a 10% discount.
I have selected only luxurious heritage accommodation with some of the establishments going back to the 14th Century or earlier, so anyone who decides to join us is in for a treat in this regard.
My plan is to spend two six week seasons in the UK each year.
The first season runs from the middle of May to the end of June.
The second season runs from the beginning of September to the middle of October.
Each season, the first two or three weeks, I will be offering group tours such as the ones described above where people can book just one or two places, while the next three weeks are available for booking by just one group.
While these three exact tours are not shown on my Hidden Britain Tours website, you can take a look at the tours I do have listed there so you can see what to expect from these ones.
I am now also taking bookings for personalized tours of England for the other weeks of those seasons on a first come, first served basis.
Please consider joining me for one of these tours. We'll uncover hidden gems alongside famous landmarks. I guarantee a wonderfully quintessentially English adventure, a fun tour filled with exclusive activities and unique things to do, and I promise you that you will see things that the majority of visitors to the UK do not.
If you are interested, I am now also offering tours of the Deep South of the USA.

Thank you and huzzah!
