“Love that this tour includes Yew Tree farm. Amount of time in each place was perfect. The guide was very nice. The only down side was how cramped the van was. It was completely full tour and the four people were very very tight and uncomfortable in the back row. All van seats are incredibly small. If you are a taller or larger person this tour is not for you.”

“We were super satisfied with the whole tour. Our tour guide (Russel) was absolutely the best! He made it an unforgettable experience for us. We came to England just to participate in this tour and definitely didn’t regret it. I mean, come on have you ever met anyone who is not only funny and enthusiastic but also writes a song to the theme by himself and then presents it?! Russel was well prepared and put so much effort into the tour. He made it interactive and very interesting. We enjoyed every second. There is a lot depending on your your guide, that’s for sure. Thank you so much!”
