Question: What makes a wonderful tour? Answer: Wonderful guides and great planning
John Blakey was until recently head tour designer, guide provider and VIP transport coordinator for London and England for the luxury tour company that won the Conde Nast Traveller Magazine ‘BEST TRAVEL SPECIALIST’ in the Reader’s Choice Awards, 11 years running, so you are in good hands…
Experience England’s expert tour designers, John (pictured), Sarah and Dawn, have around 40 yrs experience of working with travel agents and individual travellers to customize and tailor private guided tours in London and England. We are all London Blue Badge Guides ourselves (the highest qualification in guiding) so we know what works from practical experience on the ground.
We design custom tours to suit you and and you only, and very, very importantly, we ‘matchmake’ you with one of our highly trained Blue Badge Tourist Guides, who are all hand picked, and all great storytellers.
This is our difference… we believe in entertaining through story as well as informing; our aim is for you to smile as you tour. Our guides are the opposite of stuffy!
Our other strength is our old fashioned attitude to customer care and the power of careful planning. We shun flashy websites and advertising in favour of a wholehearted desire for our clients to have a wonderful time. We LOVE it when clients get in touch after their tours to tell us that ‘that was the best tour I’ve ever had!’ and that their guide and their tour was ‘amazing’! If you take a look through our customer feedback, you’ll see why our clients keep coming back for more, and keep recommending us to their friends.
