Donita Gentry , Seattle, WA - It was a wonderful trip! Going to the studio that Harry Potter was filmed at was a lot of fun. Highclere was beautiful. We were there when it was all decorated for Christmas, all the trees were so beautiful [decorated with lots of purple ornaments]. Getting to go to Stonehenge was such a treat.
Becky Thompson , La Vernia, TX - This was a bucket list tour for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Starting off each city with a guided bus tour set the stage for all the other days so we knew basically where we were and what we were looking at.
Colleen Eager , Worcester, NY - Absolutely loved it. Harry Potter, Stonehenge. Loved the free time. Enjoyed not having a strict timetable and just going with the flow. Betsy was wonderful, helpful, and friendly.
Linda Powell , Stevensville, MT - The trip was wonderful and relaxing.

Joann Briggs , Normal, IL - I would say this was a “taste” of London and Bath. We got to experience many places, but I would love to go back and spend more time in each place. Highclere Castle was the highlight of this trip. It was really special!

The accommodations were top of line from bell men to waiters to the cleaning ladies. The hotels were all clean...attractive and all the personal were polite and courtesy. The bus driver went out of his way to help and always greeted us with a smile…
Jan Rich , Friendswood, TX - The trip to England, December 2023, took us to ALL the most wonderful sites of London, and surrounds. Every detail was carried out seamlessly, and gave me a "Full English" experience. Jim is so much fun, so informative, and definitely shows he cares about your business! All trip participants were delightful people to share this awesome trip with! I could not ask for more out of a trip! Thanks, Jim!

I would love to go on another tour because my experience was so great. It was a great mix of tours and crafts.

Nancy Lathrop , Berthoud, CO - This was a spectacular tour! It was my first time across the Atlantic. The tour picked out the best towns to see in a nine-day tour, which included the Festival of Quilts, in Birmingham. The hotels were superb, and the tour bus that guided us was a new Mercedes. The tour manager was experienced and professional as was our courteous and highly traveled bus driver. He drove by Stonehenge slowly enough that everyone on the bus should have gotten an excellent shot of the site. The 2 professional tour guides (Bath and London) were so knowledgeable and entertaining. The Craftours welcome and farewell dinners were deluxe and delicious. The hotel's buffet breakfasts really spoiled me. I'm so impressed that I'm looking to book my next tour!
David Graves , Leesburg, VA - I enjoyed the trip very much.
Joanne Bouchard , Henderson, NV - I had a wonderful time on this tour through England. The quilt show was great, we had very informative guides in Bath and London. All the hotels were first class and our guide Holly and bus driver Sam were the best. Thank you for a wonderful time.
Kage buckley , Ave Maria, FL - Loved Burton on the water and would have liked more time there. Sam, the driver I found to be excellent! He actually escorted myself and a few other ladies to a great restaurant in Bath. The markets in Bath were Awesome. It was my first time in London and there is so much to do! I would like to take this trip again.
Peggy M. Carter , Jenkinsburg, GA - The trip was good. Alice was very thoughtful and helpful and pleasant. I enjoyed the double decker bus tour of the Christmas lights that she helped us book. Westminster Abbey was amazing. The Christmas markets were great. I really enjoyed Bath and my friend and I had a very nice afternoon tea at the Pump Room Restaurant.
Kathy Sawicki , Commerce Township, MI - A delightful itinerary visiting both well known sites (e.g. changing of the guard) & lesser known locations (The Dickens Museum). Our visit to Highclere Castle (aka “Downton Abbey”) was a highlight — especially with the current countess actively, & graciously, managing the tour operation at her home.

Katherine Madewell, Bixby, OK - """I wanted to take the time to tell you how much I enjoyed the trip to England. We did really luck out on the weather and I was thrilled to see the wonderful things I experienced. My main regret is that it could not have been twice as long, but then no matter how long you are at a great vacation spot, it is never long enough to see everything you want to see. The best thing is that I no longer feel intimidated at the thought of traveling in most other countries, and that is because of having the chance to explore on my own and being able to travel the subway to get back to the hotel.
The accommodation you provided were first rate and were in great locations. The rooms were beautiful and the areas felt safe. I also believe my husband would have a great time on one of your trips. We will definitely be checking it out.

I am looking forward to another trip in the future."""
