One of the top reasons behind England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales’s popularity is that around every corner lies a place of major historic significance, and with so much to see and do a journey can truly be personalized in an extraordinary way.

In the past few years we have created some very interesting trips for people with wide and varied interests. One itinerary focused on The Tudors and included the chance to stay at Great Fosters, a former hunting lodge for Elizabeth I and also a few nights at Thornbury Castle, where Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn both slept.

Another journey focused on the diversity of British castles, from palaces to fortresses. Our trips can also include private tours given by true experts, sometimes with the family who owns the estate.

Recently, we put together a tour for a small group of friends that focused on the architectural history of Glasgow and Edinburgh, including private tours of The Glasgow School of Art, designed by renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Another lovely journey traced a family’s personal history back to Ireland, exploring their ancestral homes in Counties Mayo and Sligo before traveling south to County Cork, where they visited the same docks in Cobh their family set sail from when coming to America.

The more we know about a traveler’s interests, the better we can build once in a lifetime, enjoyable historic journeys.
