It was a truly lovely day, and especially so as our guide, Martin, was wonderful. He was so informative and knowledgeable that we came away bursting with knowledge and information! It really made our day out  a memorable and great day – he has    a large fan club in Hampshire! Many many thanks for a fantastic tour.

I am writing to say how much we enjoyed our Lee Valley Olympic our last Tuesday,
10 May 2011. Both our guides (Doug & Gail) were fantastic and so knowledgeable – we learned so many different things – one of which helped my husband and myself in a quiz last Saturday! It was good to have time to walk around Waltham Abbey and then to enjoy the delicious cream tea (fresh, warm scones and lashings of jam and cream). The second cups of tea and coffee were much appreciated. Everyone thought it was a great day out and have been telling their friends about it.

Elizabeth Patterson, Ravenswood WI

 I have now been on three of your Olympic tours, the others being the Olympic London Explorer and the Lea Valley Olympic Tour. All have been excellent, but the Land of Hope & Glory managed to surpass both the other two and although the prodigious memories and the breadth and depth of knowledge of your Blue Badge Guides never fail to amaze and impress me, Victoria was outstanding in all respects, with a sparkling sense of humour to match.  

You have told me previously that some NADFAS societies express doubts as to whether these tours will satisfy their exacting standards. All I can say is, they need have no fears! We have never been disappointed.

Everything went like clockwork and Martin, our guide, was excellent as was the roast beef dinner... The whole day was well planned and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and learned quite a   lot. Thank you for all your organisation, it certainly made  for a relaxing day for me!

Elisabeth Cleall, Darent Cray National Trust Association.  

Carol was a first class guide who bought both the history  and present day aspects of the Olympics very much to life in an informal, friendly manner, which kept everyone totally interested throughout.

Like you to know we had a great day out on Tuesday 23rd November to Brentwood music museum and you were right it was a really entertaining concert, made more so with Victoria our guide, who was so passionate about the museum and players. Then followed by an extremely informative tour back into London with lights and great anecdotes. Finishing in the magical “Somerset House” with skating and hot drinks. All my party have commented on how much they enjoyed the day out. So thank you for helping me to make it a great day, and a big thank you to Victoria for putting the "icing on the cake”.

Just to let you know that we have had a most enjoyable day on our Mendip trip. Martin, our guide was superb, very knowledgeable and patient with some of our older members. The City Arms was an excellent venue. Our lunch was delicious and we would thoroughly recommend that you use them again.Thank you for all your help. 

Alan Russell, Probus Club of Wootton Bassett 

The whole day was excellent. Gillian, of course, was a splendid guide and everybody warmed to her at once. The content of the day could not have been better. We spent some time in the Synagogue while Gillian explained in detail about the building itself and also talked about religious ritual and quite a lot about Jewish social life generally. To be sitting down while they listened suited the group perfectly. A very interesting walk afterwards and a great area for the lunch stop. Lots of interesting information on the coach from Gillian as we drove to Camden. The museum was great.

Just a brief note to say how much we enjoyed our Kill or Cure tour of London on Thursday 24 March 2011. Your Blue Badge Guide, Sean, made it so interesting with his very extensive knowledge of everywhere we went and his light touch and amusing stories of the horrors of early medicine –all much appreciated by our group, many of whom had either lived or worked in the area. It was a very happy day and much appreciated. 

Dennis Turner & Cecilia Dyson, Tunbridge Wells U3A 

This was my first tour I had organised with City & Village Tours although I had supported Pamela Hatfield for many years whilst she was organiser. Congratulations to the guide Jan, her enthusiasm & knowledge certainly made the day so special and enjoyable for the group.  

It was a pleasure dealing with your company, with so many tours available, I am sure we will be booking with you again. 

Doreen Goffin, Colchester Centre National Trust 

Thank you for organising our April trip   to Hampstead. It was perfect in all ways. We couldn’t have had better weather and Sarah, the guide, was superb; friendly, unflappable and full of interesting facts.   I hope we have her again although I think all your guides are good.

Josephine Slack, Crawley U3A

I am so pleased to have found your company! The two London Olympic Explorer tours I have booked through you this month have been most successful. Both last week and this we have had very satisfied members  and two really interesting and informative tours which ran very smoothly.

Jean Harrison, The Friends of Braintree District Museum

We had a thoroughly enjoying and extremely informative day with Marigold on our 'Made In Birmingham' visit yesterday.  Birmingham certainly turned out to be a lot more interesting than any of us expected and Marigold was wonderful at answering lots of questions fired at her. Please pass on our grateful thanks for such an excellent day. I think many of us will be returning to Birmingham to see more of its treasures. 

Anne Deucher, Pewsey Vale NADFAS 

I meant to write before to say how nice the Cruising into Christmas was the Sunday before last.          It was good to put a name to a face too when we met. What an informative cruise that was and everyone was so friendly - slick operation! We were so lucky with the weather - couldn't believe what a lovely day it turned out to be after all the snow etc.
