Private Tour of Glastonbury Abbey, Wells Cathedral and Cheddar Gorge with Chauffeurs UK

Somerset: Glastonbury AbbeyGlastonbury Abbey is set in 37 acres of tranquil parkland in the centre of the ancient market town of Glastonbury.  It was the first Christian sanctuary in Great Britain and is believed to have been visited by Joseph of Arimathea and Saints David & Patrick.  Many believe the Holy Thorn tree that can be seen in the grounds originated from Joseph of Arimathea's staff and legend has it that King Arthur was buried in the Abbey beside Queen Guinevere.  The dramatic and evocative Glastonbury Tor dominates the surrounding countryside and offers spectacular views over the counties of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. At the summit of this very steep hill an excavation has revealed the plans of two superimposed churches of St Michael, of which only the 15th-century tower remains.
 
Somerset: Wells CathedralWells is an unspoilt market town of great charm, located in rolling countryside, at the foot of the Mendip Hills.  Steeped in history, it is England's smallest city with much of its medieval character remaining intact.  Visit the beautiful Wells Cathedral with its still-working medieval clock and impressive statuary, said to be the finest in Europe.  Also visit the moated Bishop's Palace and see the oldest medieval street in Europe.
 
Somerset: Cheddar GorgeCheddar Gorge is place of rugged beauty; a limestone ravine cutting through the Mendip Plateau up to 500 feet deep. The Cheddar Caves were inhabited up to 40,000 years ago and are famous for their spectacular stalactite and stalagmite decorations.

England is truly a land of enchantment from the architectural masterpieces throughout London to the picturesque countryside in The Lake District. Your vast knowledge of both these elements enhanced my visit ten fold. There is nothing I could have read or seen that would have prepared me for what I experienced.
 
Your attention to detail and genuine concern for comfort and enjoyment is second to none.

Sincerely,

David Mack – Florida, USA
 
 
Floyd and I want to thank you for the excellent tour you took us on. It definitely made my first trip to England very special. Thanks to you, in looking through the pictures, I also can recall the stories and history that goes along with them. The trip had some great memories, but it was too short, so I definitely have a list of things I still want to see in England. I'm sure we'll be contacting you again.

Take care, and thanks again.
