Do you savor beautiful surroundings, meeting local people, exploring their customs and a relaxing pace?

You don’t have to be a gardener to enjoy our tours.  Relish the delight of an English garden.

Magnificent Garden Tours in the British Isles

We design and host one of a kind garden tours mainly to England and the British Isles. We specially select private homes and visit 3-4 a day. Imagine meeting the gardeners themselves and browsing their magnificent gardens. Follow the tour with scrumptious cakes (picture the British Baking Show) and tea or delightful Elderflower water.

We travel by region and also choose which public gardens in the area we feel will be most interesting. Our tours are completely private so we can stop when we wish to visit a historic site, a coastal beach or do some quick shopping in a lovely village.

Sometimes we add tours to other countries. Be sure to check out our Tours page.
