Welcome |
|
This week, I’m introducing three interesting tours which travel less so that your clients can see and experience a great deal more. My Treasure Trove of English Gardens can be timed to coincide with the spectacular RHS Wisley Flower Show in September. The York-based Foodie Tour is worth a closer look as is the Cotswolds-based pub tour with its blend of ideas that will appeal to wives and husbands alike.
As I want to help you to increase your UK sales, looking at back issues of my Inside Track will be hugely helpful. |

A Treasure Trove Of English Gardens |
|
If you look closely at my tours, you will see that I frequently recommend starting a UK visit with 4-5 nights in the English countryside. This programme encourages customers to park their jetlag amidst the castles, stately homes, gardens and country pubs of Kent and Sussex so that they are on GMT when they reach London. |

Foodie Tour In York |
|
Topped and tailed with some time in London, I’ve created special tour for the York Food and Drink Festival (18th -27th September). It includes a half day course at the York Cookery School, the city’s chocolate trail, the Malton Food Trail, English Afternoon Tea in 2 fabulous locations and a couple of optional side trips.

Mine’s a Pint of Wychwood Hobgoblin |
|
This is a great, small group idea for a September/October UK tour that enables husbands to visit 4 different breweries while their wives go to interesting places nearby. It’s based in the Cotswold countryside and finishes with a couple of nights in London. And yes, there really is a beer called Wychwood Hobgoblin. |

The Great Detectives |
|
If your clients are fans of Masterpiece Theatre, they will really enjoy rubbing shoulders with other Agatha Christie fans at the 15th-19th September Festival – full programme tbc shortly. It will also include visits to locations used in the filming of Inspector Morse, Father Brown, Agatha Raisin, Midsomer Murders, Sherlock Holmes and a performance of The Mousetrap.
