From Your Tour Director

England at the holidays is tranquil, elegant, and beautiful. There is a certain magic that takes over London and the Cotswolds at this time of the year. During this tour, we’ll go behind-the-scenes of many wonderful traditions: from minced pies and mulled wine, to fires in the Cotswolds and open-air Christmas markets. We’ll enjoy a very special holiday performance amongst the beauty and elegance of a decorated London, as well as the charming shops and architecture in small villages.

I’ve spent many years discovering the best places to see during this festive time, and that’s why I am so proud to introduce this special tour. This is a curated travel experience that you’ll never forget.

Yes, it is the most wonderful time of the year, and I look forward to sharing with you:
An English Christmas!

See you in December,
Andrew Lannerd, Tour Director
