Personally Escorted Small Group Tours

DAY 13: “We’ve said a fond farewell to the picturesque villages of the Cotswolds and arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon. Strolling the cobbled lanes of this beautiful riverside town, in the footsteps of the bard, was just magical. A hearty lunch followed at the Dirty Duck (formally The Black Swan) where we conversed with 2 charming young actors from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre – how dramatic! Visiting Anne Hathaway’s lovely thatched cottage was truly like stepping into a day in the life of 16th century England: Tudor style architecture, copper kettle on the hearth and hollyhocks growing by the back door. This afternoon’s tour of Warrick Castle was an eye-opener, with archery, jousting and relics of its rich history, dating back to William the Conqueror, on display in its many impressive staterooms. Sharon, our Tour Director was a mine of knowledge as usual, including tales of royal intrigue and skullduggery by Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick. Our coach then whisked us in comfort back to our hotel for a lite evening meal, where we recounted the events of the day. The morning promises fair skies and a leisurely journey down the Grand Union Canal, but first a warm bed awaits for a well earned rest before our adventure continues tomorrow...”

Proven leadership

Travel 2 U’s Tour Directors are highly seasoned travelers who know every aspect of the journey ahead. We believe that the people leading our tours should be our own team members: the people who plan the itinerary, who organise the travel arrangements, who attend to every minute detail. And of course they’re also right there with you on tour to make sure everything goes to plan. Our Tour Directors personally escort our small groups from New Zealand, guiding them every step of the way and ensuring a safe return home.

We also employ local English speaking guides who bring a great depth of knowledge and a rich cultural flavour to each destination. Together with our Tour Directors these leaders bring history to life, and offer unique 21st century insights, providing you with the ultimate small group touring experience.

More of what you want in a tour

We’ve become known for the excellent value of our tours and our high level of personal service.

Designing our own itineraries with you in mind and utilising service providers who share our vision and offer the highest levels of customer service enables Travel 2 U to give you:

	More personalised service, because we get to know you before we go.
	Excellent accommodation and facilities.
	More enjoyment. Hassle free + more free choice = More Fun!
