Hi, I’m Stephen. My tours are personal - you will not be sharing with anyone else. I will be your driver and guide for the day - I will collect you in our luxury Land Rover Defender 130 - Britain’s answer to the Chevy Suburban. My aim is to give you all the background and history you need to enjoy the day. As it’s a private tour we can be flexible - if you want to stay longer or divert to see something else, no problem. I am new to so I don’t have many reviews but i’ve been a guide for many years. You won’t be disappointed!
Start your day with a pickup from your hotel, airport, or cruise terminal in London. Head to the historic Kentish town of Tenterden, known as the “Jewel of the Weald.” Enjoy a walking tour of the high street, historic buildings, and church. Learn about the town's origins as a Saxon woodland clearing and its growth into a prosperous medieval wool trading center.

Next, depart for Sissinghurst Castle Gardens. Take a guided tour of the gardens, which were created by the writer and diplomat Harold Nicholson and Vita Sackville-West, the famous poet, novelist, and gardener. Discover how the couple transformed a neglected old property with fragments of an Elizabethan house into one of the loveliest gardens in the region.

After your tour, enjoy free time for lunch at Sissinghurst or a local pub. Then, depart for Rye, an English town near the coast in East Sussex. Take a guided walking tour of the town, which is known for its cobbled lanes, medieval half-timbered houses, and strong history of smugglers.

See the redbrick Lamb House, once owned by writer Henry James, and the tower of the Norman St. Mary’s Church, which overlooks the town. Visit the 14th-century Ypres Tower, which formed part of Rye’s defenses and is now Rye Castle Museum, with paintings and displays on local history.

Finally, depart for London, where your tour ends.
