Kent: the Garden of England

Great guide Enjoyed it all

This was my first tour, so I was very glad it was at a relaxed pace, and a small group. Our leader, Ben was very personable, knowledgeable, and also made sure we were well informed of travelling and meeting info, and we were in very safe hands with our great driver Toni . Highlight for me was Leeds Castle, including the tour there, the beautiful setting, and the accommodation in renovated stables. The Mermaid Inn was also a wonderful experience. I personally would have preferred an alternative activity to the Brewery tour, but only because I have no interest in beer! But overall, an excellent program of wonderful places!

This tour was a real find! Our guide was very knowledgeable, the group was small (11?) and quite compatible, the accommodations were outstanding, the sites we visited were interesting, the gardens absolutely lovely and, of course, Kent, itself, is beautiful. Thank you, Back Roads.

We loved this tour from start to finish. It is well organized, and exceeds expectations. We signed up to see distinctive gardens but were given an incredible lesson in British culture and history as well as botany and geography. Our guide Ben Sims was a fountain of knowledge on diverse subjects add keep the daily schedule running on time.

An excellent trip and our guide Rachael was very good . We loved the places we visited and they capture the old leafy England we wanted to see
