Keep your eyes peeled for incredible wildlife — especially seabirds — and soak up the rich traditions, bold flavours, and untamed beauty that make Scotland feel like its own magical world.
The tour was terrific. Paul was a wonderful and engaging guide. He was extremely approachable, caring, fun and knowledgeable; he went over and above expectations by including extra stops at Tintagel and also Dartington Hall. He and Ben went out of their way in getting help for my phone at Truro and also effectively dealt with another passenger who required urgent medical attention.

Even though Heart of England was a short tour there was much depth in it content wise. What we saw and experienced we did in detail, it was not fleeting.
Terry Gibson our tour guide and Phil our driver, Terry's wingman ensured that we gained as much as possible from the trip.
