LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS ENGLAND

CULTURALLY WEALTHY COUNTRY

England is only a small dot on the world map yet, yet no other country has had such a profound effect on world destiny. A bespoke holiday is one of the best ways of understanding the heritage and history of this immensely varied and culturally wealthy country.

Stand with your back to a 300 year old, Jacobean mansion and survey the rolling gardens laid out by a landscape gardener with the vision of Capability Brown. You will instantly realise that you’re seeing a picture postcard, quintessential England. Especially on a fine summer’s evening, with the soft light picking out the whites of the fielders engrossed in a distant game of cricket on the green lawns.

Take a bespoke tour around some of England’s myriad of stately homes, castles and estates and you’ll discover the stories behind the fabulous wealth that built the houses. The war-like barons who built mighty power-bases founded on impenetrable castles, and conspired together to seize the crown of England. The great factory owners of the industrial revolution, who changed the world with their thundering engines and mechanised production techniques – and built serene mansions on the profits of their ‘dark, satanic mills’.

On your bespoke itinerary you will be enlightened by visits to the world-famous seats of learning in ancient university towns. You’ll be guided through magnificent galleries by art experts and curators. You’ll be given the inside track in renowned institutions like Newmarket’s National Stud. In short, you will receive a privileged glimpse into the diversity that makes Britain great.

WHY CHOOSE US

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”

Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.
