Below are only a few of the delightful, unsolicited comments we have received:
"Our experience with BHC Tours was terrific. They were very professional in helping us have a memorable trip to the UK. We visited London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Yorkshire Dales, Land's End, Cotswolds and many historical sites. Our trip guides and accommodatons were top notch. I cannot give them a higher recommendation. Thank you to all involved."
Ron and Judy, Texas, USA.
"I just wanted to write and thank you once again for all your effort in ensuring that we had a magnificent visit to England and Scotland. In terms of our itinerary it would be hard to pick a favorite spot. We loved everything - from the great fun of Highclere Castle, to the rugged beauty of the coast in Cornwall, The Cotswolds, the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District (which we managed to fit in), the whole of Scotland. It simply could not have been better. My dear Pam, I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to plan this journey with you..."
Ron and Jane. Bass Lake, California. USA
This text was sent to one of our drivers, John, after he had toured the family to Hever Castle, Blenheim Palace and Highclere Castle among others:
"We thoroughly enjoyed our week with you in England! I've described your presence and expertise as having had our favorite English brother-in-law/uncle giving us a grand tour. We really loved all the off-the-path views and experiences. We appreciated your way of being spontaneous and flexible with the itinerary. If we didn't have pictures for proof....we would think it was all just a dream. We are so grateful to have met you. Thanks for entertaining, educating and keeping us safe on the tour."
Erin, Peyton and Emerson. USA.
"I can't say enough good things about the trip [to Ireland] and my nieces feel the same way. They told their mother they couldn't wait to go back to Ireland and one actually said she would live there. All the driver guides were terrific and I must say that James Barton was exceptional. Thank you again for planning such a wonderful trip.
Cindy Rhodes. Georgia. USA.
"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful tour you arranged for us. All the arrangements and accommodations were first class. Our favorite hotel was The Peacock. We had such a great time that we were ready to come back the day that we flew to the US. Accolades to Graham as well. He was very patient with us, answering our multitude of questions! We enjoyed visiting with him."
Avis Converse. Ohio. US
"Our trip was wonderful and more than we ever imagined. Thank you for the care you took in arranging it and especially for the Dickens and Bronte tours. Graham was wonderful and overall we rank the trip as a 12 out of 10! Thank you again!"
Nicole. Minnesota, USA.
"We used British Heritage Chauffeur Tours for a recent trip to the UK after they were referred to us by a friend. We were so pleased with the service.! John was very helpful in arranging our itinerary and was very responsive and willing to accommodate our suggestions. Our guide [Kevin] was very informative, easy to get along with and paved our way at the sights so that we had minimal amount of waiting. Our drivers were all very competent and courteous and knew their way around even with the London street closures. We would most definitely recommend British Heritage Chauffeur Tours."
Anne H and her daughter from Washington State. USA.
"We had been looking forward to our Downton/Highclere day for over two years after rescheduling multiple time due to the pandemic. BHCT does not disappoint and will amply reward you for many years with an experience you will hold dear for many years to come. Ian, our driver and guide for the day was equally delightful and knowledgeable. We loved visiting the series' sites in Bampton, the fictional village of "Downton". Lunch at The Swan Inn Swinbrook is a must to compliment your day. Lunch was absolutely delicious and the Swan Inn's history is fascinating. Ian was the consummate host, even going so far as to make sure our table was ready upon our arrival. His easy going manner and affable character absolutely enhanced the day's events. Details such as listening to the Downton theme music as we approached [Highclere] castle added to the experience. Communications with BHCT were consistently pleasant, prompt and cooperative. We would not have appreciated this much-anticipated day nearly as much without the knowledge and professionalism given by British Heritage Chauffeur Tours.
Barbara and Jim. USA
"We can only say good things about our trip to London and Oxford. It all went like clockwork thanks to your good planning. (How could anyone navigate the PCR test without Ian's help?) We cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. Thank you so much for great service. Stay well. Hopefully, we'll meet again."
Eileen and Jerry Richard. Connecticut. USA
"We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed Ian and his tour of the English countryside, Waddesdon Manor, Oxford, Amersham and the pubs for lunch. The whole experience was very enjoyable and was the only way to see things. Ian was very knowledgeable about everything and we had many great conversations and learned so much! He also is a wonderfully safe driver and I didn't have to backseat drive once! The weather also cooperated which was a bonus and the fields of poppies that we saw were a sight we will not forget. Now I want to come back! There is so much more to see and re-see. Thank you so much again for an unforgettable experience. We would definitely rate our trip to London and area as one of the best trips we have ever taken and Ian and your service was a very big part of that."
Carolyn and Brad Yuill. Nova Scotia, Canada.
"I just wanted to thank you for all the time you spent helping us to have a wonderful Downton Abbey day [last August]. An absolutely major part of that great day was our driver Dave. He was spectacular! What a treasure you have in him. His stories were so funny, he had us in stitches. He is a very safe driver and took extra care to point out all the sights we were passing by. We had the best day with him as our driver. Just wanted to let you know and say thank you!"
Sherry and Deanna. Iowa, USA.
"We toured with Ian last week (Wednesday to Friday) and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tour. Ian was wonderful, amazing driver, wonderful guide and companion, and the experience was just terrific. That was the best way to travel. Thank you so much!! We will definitely call you for our next trip to England."
Barbara Evans. USA.
"How do we even begin to retell the amazing day we had on our tour with your company last Wednesday? Pam, we have taken numerous trips over the years with numerous guides. This one simply cannot be beat! We can honestly say this tour was the highlight of our two and a half week European vacation. Till next time."
Peter H. Ottawa, Canada
"Hello Pam. We had a fabulous time on the trip!!! Graham was wonderful and made the trip very easy for us. He's a good conversationalist, flexible in our requests and did a good job in "reading us" as to when we had enough sight seeing. He's a very good driver and put us at ease during our travels. Pam, you did a fantastic job setting the itinerary [tour of Scotland] and we'd especially like to thank you for arranging the tremendous weather! Thank you again for arranging such a wonderful trip! We'll certainly plan on using your services again and recommending you to friends."
Jeff Smith. Fullerton, California. USA
"We've returned from our whirlwind trip to England and thank goodness the weather was lovely. We greatly enjoyed our trip with Michael and Graham. They are both so interesting and knowledgeable, it was a treat to have an insider's perspective on what's going on in the United Kingdom. I truly hope it won't be another five years before we return. We do love our time there. Best to you and thank you for planning such a lovely trip!"
Michelle Stevens. Alexandria, Virginia. USA
"What a delightful, stress free tour! We had a blast and really enjoyed being with Ian as well! He was so knowledgeable and great fun to talk to. I am so happy we did the tour and hope to do more in the future!!! Well done!"
Kelli Sommers. Redding, California. USA
"Hi Pam! Our time 'across the pond' was fantastic and it was especially wonderful thanks to our tour with Ian. He was the perfect combination of all that you would want in a guide. We truly appreciated his knowledge, low key manner and fun spirit! We loved all our visits but I think we can all agree that The Cotswolds and our stay at the Swan Inn was our very favorite. It is such a magical and beautiful place. I absolutely plan to go back to England at some point down the road....the Poldark trip and our desire to see Wales and Scotland and the castle/manor where Pride and Prejudice's Mr Darcy lived are all on the list for a future visit. Have a wonderful summer and send Ian our regards and thank you for all your help. I enjoyed our communication over the past few months."
Susan Hoffman. Bedford, NY. USA
"We had a wonderful time. Ian was superb and we certainly missed him guiding us around today. Your tour program was outstanding as were your lunch recommendations. The 'maids of honour' fulfilled a bucket-list dream! I certainly hope to use your services again."
Jayne Cawthern. Pennsylvania, USA.
"Thank you for all of your help, Pam. Ian was great! I will be using/recommending your fine company to anyone that goes to the UK. You guys made our Christmas that much more!"
Erik Swanson. Charlotte, NC, USA.
"Pam. I wanted to tell you about the wonderful day we had with Ian!!! Thank you for your suggestions on the tour and for Ian!!! The castle was very nice and we had a wonderful lunch in Windsor. We loved Waddesdon Manor. It was so beautiful and festive. Everything about it was amazing. It was the highlight of our trip. You picked the most perfect guide for us. We just loved Ian!!! He was perfect and we learned so much. I will definitely us your service again. Thank you for all your help."
Luanne Paley, Connecticut, USA.
"Thank you for all your help in bringing our plan to walk in the footsteps of Seth's early ancestors to life. The hotels you chose were spectacular. Jerry was a wonderful guide and expert driver throughout the whole journey. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from him. He found the most picturesque towns to stop in for lunches and the most beautiful drives through the countryside. He also navigated all the twists and turns through the narrow country roads with experience and ease. We are grateful for his kindness, knowledge and expertise. We found your English countryside to be quite beautiful. It was a wonderful journey which everyone in our family truly enjoyed. Thank you again, Pam."
Seth and Connie Atwood, Nevada, USA.
"Hi Pam. Our excursions were everything you promised and more!!! Many thanks to you and Ian for truly, a trip of a lifetime!"
Dave and Liz Quinlin. West Virginia, USA.
"Pam, Jerry is a national treasure! The extra effort he put in to show us interesting points in London is much appreciated. We learned so much. Personally I much enjoyed the 'windshield time' chats as we traversed the countryside. Thank you for a great time and for assigning Jerry to our trip. My Mom was over the moon on the great job Jerry did."
David Lawrence, Seattle, USA
"We had a wonderful time yesterday! Dave was so nice and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend him and your company to anyone!"
Denise Biernes. West Vancouver, Canada
"Thank you so much for planning such a wonderful itinerary and most of all for giving us Ian. We have been around the world with many guides and Ian is very special. A treasure trove of facts! We are planning a trip to Scotland next year and hope we can have Ian as our guide. Can you send us some sample itineraries of trips you have planned there? No hurry but we love to research destinations and plan accordingly. Thanks again for everything!"
Susan Pomerantz, New York, NY. USA
"We enjoyed our day immensely! Ian was wonderful as was the weather!!! We are home now and already miss England! We will definitely book another trip with you the next time we are in London!! Thank you for everything!"
Mary Ann Martorina. Chicago, Illinois, USA
"Hello Pam. Thank you SO much!! We all had a GREAT day!! Jerry was a fabulous driver and guide, we all thoroughly enjoyed his company as well!! We all had a lot of laughs and it was a fantastic tour and day!! Thank you again!!"
Lydia Clayton. Brawley, California, USA
"Hi Pam. Rose and I are sitting having a lite dinner and talking about our wonderful trip with Jerry. He took great care of us and easily offered his wide range of knowledge about the areas we visited. We can't thank you enough for planning such a fantastic adventure for us! We so enjoyed everything from the lovely descriptions to the lovely restaurants and all the places we discovered. We will sing the praises of British Heritage Chauffeur Tours!"
MaryAnn Romski. Georgia, USA
"Pam. Jerry was terrific! We had a great time. I will highly recommend your services to my friends. All the best. Jim."
James E Tomblin ll. North Carolina, USA
"DAVE WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! We could not have remotely expected to have such a nice driver for our short sightseeing trip. The pub food was the best I had had for ages and since it was [my friend's] first time in the UK it felt really like I had hit the jackpot as a hostess. Thank you so much for arranging everything and pass on my thanks and appreciation to Dave for making me look so good in front of my guest. He really is the most wonderful person I have encountered on this trip."
C. Hill. Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
"Thank you for arranging such a full and delightful day for me to enjoy. I had a great time with Dave on our tour. He has such a personable style. You are very lucky to have him. He individualised the experience with some nice touches..... I hope to engage your services again when I come back."
Paul Wilson. Sydney, Australia.
"Hi Pam. Sorry to take so long to let you know Reba, Joy and I were so impressed with Ian and everything he did to ensure our tour was a dream come true. As we told him, there was nothing that wasn't perfect. Although we probably drove him batty with our talk, he was so kind and he provided lots of interesting info along the way. We especially enjoyed the several "jogs" off the official route. Extraordinary tour. Of course your itinerary gave us all the best of the areas we visited. Thank you so much for the special touches - the lunches were fun - we loved the Ebrington and as advertised, The Swan. I hope I am able to return to Great Britain and if I do - fair warning - I'll be in touch again for another fabulous tour! Gratefully and happily..."
Denese Rohrer. Arizona, USA
"Please accept our compliments on Ian. He was a most gracious host and we enjoyed his company as well. If we get back to the UK we will definitely be in touch as we will want him as our guide again. We can't speak highly enough of Ian or the tour."
Browning Hollomon. Frisco, Texas, USA.
"I just wanted to write you and share that Ian was excellent and we got far more out of the day than I could ever have expected. He is obviously a wealth of knowledge and a gentleman. Thanks again for the great service and I won't hesitate in recommending your services to others."
Mark Dalton. Ontario, Canada
"Hi Pam. Donna and I had a great day and Jerry was outstanding. We really enjoyed the conversation and his flexibility. We enjoyed Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral and were also able to squeeze in a very nice lunch at The Pembroke Arms. We never felt rushed and we were delivered to Thornbury Castle for our meeting at just the right time. Thank you for the excellent service and hospitality."
M. Edward Wilson MD, Charleston, South Carolina, USA
"Dear Pam: I cannot say enough good things about Ian - what a knowledgeable person about so many things...and pleasant! At each location Ian added 'tidbits' to the history of the places we visited. You have a gem in that man - polished, profound in his historical knowledge, and a true gentleman. Pam, Thank you!"
Shep Kelly. Springfield, Illinois, USA.
"We had a great holiday - the tour made our vacation. Ian was a wonderful driver/guide. One of our most relaxing vacations ever. We have no complaints at all. Thank you so much for all your help."
Ann Wiggins. Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
"Pam - We had an outstanding day and Dave was fantastic. The trip was all we had hoped it would be, and we are especially grateful that you ordered up the perfect weather for us!

Thank you so much for arranging a lovely day for us."
Mike and Margaret Roohan. Saratoga Springs, New York, USA
"Pam - Ian and the entire trip was outstanding! The family had a great time. We will highly recommend your services and look to use them again next time we're in town."

Suzanne Livingstone, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
"Pam - Our experience was spectacular!! We enjoyed every minute of it and it exceeded our expectations. Dave was a fabulous guide...we loved him so much we both hugged him at the end!!!

Carlos Carrion. Santo Domingo, The Dominican Republic.
Before you read the following testimonials please allow us to direct you to some 'blogs' that our clients have written independently about their time spent with us. We couldn't have written it better ourselves! Thank you to all concerned.
"2880 miles in 21 days - might be a record for auto-trip-miles! Our incredibly high expectations were more than exceeded throughout our tour of England. From Canterbury to Stourhead, Cotswolds to York and every hedgerow-lined backroad in between. Mary and I have both group and self-toured throughout mainland Europe and America and just three words can best describe our visit - 'Best Trip Ever!' Jerry was a most professional driver - we felt very safe at all times. Easy to forget how fabulous true door to door service is - being taken care of at all times, chauffeured without the worry of parking, navigation, getting through traffic etc., not to mention the inside scoop afforded us via Jerry's commentary on all things not covered in guide books. The tour was wonderfully organized - we were pretty specific on what we wanted to see ahead of time after pouring through guide books and the "net", although Pam helped guide us away from a couple of touristy sights and to some that we were not aware of that really helped make the trip. And the tour was magically and seamlessly transformed into a schedule that exactly fit the pace we wanted to move to. The fine details were all covered immaculately - dinner and lunch reservations at quaint spots, passes were provided for multiple sights allowing us to bypass entry lines, and on and on. Most importantly our impressions: Jerry was warm, caring and very personable - knowledgeable, insightful and knew some interesting tidbit about everywhere we went. We became very close to Jerry as if he was a part of our group, much beyond the "driver". By the second day he could almost read our minds as to what we were looking for - which afforded us a seamless method to regularly ad-lib our route. Michael and Pam have become friends - Their warmth, caring and welcoming approach goes well beyond client service. Can't imagine how we ever travelled before! Already planning a tour of Scotland and can assure that it will be with Michael, Pam and Jerry!"
Jim and Mary Rothwell. Durango, Colorado, USA.
"Pam. My husband and I booked a tour with you around this time last year. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through Bampton, Swinbrook and Highclere Castle. We actually got to watch the Downton cast film in Bampton and spoke with a few cast members. The experience is something we will never forget. Our guide contributed greatly to our experience, as he was friendly, doting and knowledgeable. I regret that I have waited this long to contact you. I do keep a small travel blog and I've created a post about our great experience with your company. Here's a link to the post: Please click here. Thank you again for the quality tour. If my husband and I find our way back to Europe we will most definitely utilize your services again."
"We had an absolute blast with Andy! We couldn't have asked for more! I generally have high expectations, and I was thoroughly impressed!" Here is Jay's account of his time spent with us: Please click here
"On behalf of myself and my family I want to thank you for organising a fantastic, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable trip! We had great pleasure discussing with Ian where and how we will structure our next trip. Gourmet tour of England? Finest gardens of England? Ireland? Scotland? Where we go and what we do remains uncertain, but our return for another tour with British Heritage Chauffeur Tours is CERTAIN! Our daughter maintains a blog that has an international readership of in excess of 45,000 people and has dedicated an entire entry to British Heritage Chauffeur Tours. Enjoy!" Please click here.

Thanks ever so much to you and especially Dave for giving us a memory of a lifetime!"
Todd Williams. Virginia, USA

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you once again for organising everything at such short notice. We head back home tomorrow and take back many wonderful memories and photos."
Karma Yangzom. Metro Manila, Philippines.
"Jerry was wonderful! Bright, personable, easily understood, punctual, flexible to our preferences; and always the safest of drivers.

By the end of our time together we are pleased to call him friend......A wonderful trip; we appreciate your putting it together for us!"
Pete and Lori Marvin. Arkansas, USA

Arthur and Kim Schawbel. Massachusetts, USA.
"We are back home safely. We were able to enjoy our trip in such a stunning city only because of you and your team. Without the careful planning and personalised service, we wouldn't have been able to make it. Finally, our trip has ended very successfully. I will always remember you and your team as you've helped me in touring a city I've always wanted to visit; And now I actually did! Thank you so much, Mrs Pam."
Andal Murugappan. Chennai, India.

It has been a pleasure corresponding with you and look forward to next time."
Sharyn Levitt. Pennsylvania, USA.
"Thank you for all your excellent work in creating four wonderful days for us in London and the English countryside. The sights were so marvellous and the knowledge shared with us by Ian made the places and the roadways come alive with history and colourful stories. Ian was so accommodating to our group paying careful attention to the needs of each. Our family group ranged from 12 to 77 so there were lots of differences AND he was great - calm, careful and always smiling. Thanks so much. Was a time we will never forget."
Jim and Elaine Barnett. Florida, USA.
"We had an absolutely fabulous time yesterday. Ian was THE best! He was knowledgeable on such a wide variety of topics and so personable we felt like we were touring with an old friend.

"Hi Pam - .....Vacation is nice but I'm glad to be home (with my dog...who I missed horribly). The only issue I'm having is that I've called room service three times and my yogurt and granola has still not arrived! Curious? Ian was wonderful. , Knowledgeable, accommodating and pleasant. It was a perfect trip and [my husband] really enjoyed it as well. He now wants to spend some time in Bath and Wales, so I'll be in touch next year. Thank you for all your help and making this a stress free experience."
Diane Kramer. Staten Island, NY, USA
"Hi Pam - Many, many thanks for planning a wonderful trip for my parents. They had a great time and I cannot sing Ian's praises enough.

Shannon Ryan McIlvain. San José, California, USA
"Dear Pam, Thank you for all your perfect arrangements for our holiday in England. Ian was a wonderful driver and gracious 'host' everywhere we went, full of background stories and a very charming person. We miss him - very much! All your suggestions for our itinerary were wonderful. Thank you for arranging the private tour (with the lovely Shannon) at The Wilson Museum in Cheltenham. And what crowned our already perfect trip was the lunch at The Manor Hotel in Castle Combe. We so enjoyed eating outdoors in their beautiful grounds on an extraordinarily beautiful day. Thank you ever so much for that recommendation. And finally, Pam, we must tell you what a pleasure it was working with you. You were so easy to reach and quick with our replies and marvelous suggestions. We will tell everyone we know who is going to England to use your fine services - and ask for Ian! With all good wishes to you."
Barry and Irene Grenier. California, USA.
"Hello Pam. It was a wonderful tour we had with Ian today. His upbeat attitude and knowledge of history of England as well as the Downton Abbey storyline was so helpful in refreshing our memory. Our day was something we both will always remember. It was so neat to see where Downton Abbey took place. It was a pleasure getting to work with you as well. Take care and best of luck always."
William Herriage. Palm Springs, California, USA
"Pam. I just had to write to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour with Jerry. He was simply perfect, as was the entire day! I want to thank you again for all your organization and planning to make it such a wonderful experience for us! Many thanks and pass our gratitude to Jerry."
Marilynn Wrigley. Texas, USA.
"Greetings from Georgia. Steve and I returned to Atlanta on Sunday. We had a marvellous time and our day with Ian last Tuesday was fantastic! It was exactly what we wanted to see and do. Just riding through the countryside and staying away from many of the crowded tourist areas was relaxing. Ian is delightful and we learned a lot from him besides the fact that he is such good company. It was the perfect day really. Steve and I are still talking about how the day unfolded. The countryside and the little villages were beautiful and our lunch at The swan Inn was delicious. Thank you for all of your recommendations. It was a lovely day. We wholeheartedly recommend British Heritage Chauffeur Tours."
Cindy Rhodes. Athens, Georgia, USA.
"....Our last day was fantastic! Andy is truly professional and showed us much more than we would have been able to see by ourselves. Gayle was very excited to see her Downton Abbey come to life. We will now go back and watch the shows again to see what we can find that we actually saw. Thanks again for arranging this for us."
George and Gayle Franklin. Alabama, USA
"We had a great day with Nigel!!!! It was so relaxing to be driven around the great countryside. It was really a great day. It was great to be able to visit Oxford, I'll have to return for a longer stay. The Swan was a fabulous spot!!! Great lunch. The Cotswolds were so unique and "lovely"! I think Kelly kept saying that all day. I would certainly pass your name on to any friends. Thanks again for all your help - and to Nigel, who was on time and efficient in getting us where we needed to go."
Barry Taman. The Pin People. Saskatchewan, Canada.
"Pam - We had a great time and Ian was an excellent guide full of interesting facts and very professional. We will book again if we ever have an opportunity to return to London. Thank you for a wonderful day in the English countryside."
Robert Prince Jnr. West Virginia, USA
"Hi Pam - We had an absolutely perfect day! Jerry was an awesome driver and a wealth of knowledge about every topic we chose to discuss!! We will definitely be telling our family and friends about British Heritage. We appreciate your attention to detail. Thank you for a memorable day!"
Craig and Laurie Hancock. Arizona, USA.
"Dear Pam and Michael, it was truly our pleasure to meet both of you! We understand the excellent quality of your trips and planning is a direct reflection of you - and we are so grateful! Waddesdon was the highlight of our trip but each visit was delightful. This week has been a memorable one in your beautiful country for us. Andy is an excellent guide and driver. He made every day a personalized experience. We are happy and pleased to recommend him to any future tourists. He was great! Thanks so much! We wish you continued success."
John and Marie Adair. Maine, USA
"Dear Pam and Michael - What a treat it was to discover you two! Thank you so much for providing Ian and all the assistance with our visit to London this month! We shall definitely return!"
Deb and Belinda Brady. Perth, Australia
"The personal tour to Highclere was indeed fabulous. We couldn't have asked for a better day -- thanks to the attention to detail you had given to accommodating our interests. Andy was wonderful, the food offerings delicious, and the tour to Highclere and its surrounding grounds delightful. The drive through the English countryside, accompanied by commentary from our very able driver, made the day one we will all remember. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Should we again visit England you can be sure you'll be part of our planning."
Nedra Segall. Oklahoma, USA
"Pam - Our two days with Ian at the helm were our most enjoyable! He was so knowledgeable and could not have been a more pleasant person with which to spend a day. His knowledge and his love of his country and its history made our two day trips phenomenal experiences. The restaurants you chose were both delicious and charming. Trust me, you will see us return in the near future. This first trip has just piqued our interest to return and see more."
Anne Clark Claman. California, USA
"We had an amazing day with Andy and it really was the highlight of the trip for me! Even Vivian who is very trip worn had a wonderful time and wished that she could live at Highclere. She also stated that the burger she ate at The Swan Inn was the best she'd ever had.....compliments are few and far between with a teenager so I view this as a huge success. :-) Thank you again for all of your assistance during our correspondence and I hope to have the chance to take another tour with your company!"
Jane Baughman. San Francisco, USA
TESTIMONIAL: My family has a very busy schedule and planning a vacation was almost impossible. However, this year with everybody actually physically being in the same country I thought it's silly not to even try to plan one. So, with less than a month left to out national holiday I contacted Pam from British Heritage Chauffeur Tours and she was the most amazing. With so limited time, she gave me a few possible alternatives and help me build an itinerary that was very flexible, which was exactly what we need. The process was all very easy. After actually meeting Andy our chauffeur who was incredibly kind and helpful and he was always very patient with each one of us. All of us felt sad to actually part our ways at the end of our tour. All in all, an amazing and very relaxing experience.
Bella Handojo, Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Pam. We had a fantastic day on our tour! Nigel was so nice and helpful. I keep wishing we had insisted he had lunch with us. He's probably eaten at The Swan Inn Swinbrook more times than he can count, but it was so good. The atmosphere there was like out of a story book. The whole day was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, better weather or a better tour. Highclere Castle was exactly like I'd hoped it would be. If and when we travel back to England I will be sure to contact you for future tours. I also have several family members that travel to England a good bit and I will pass your name on to them. Thank you sooooo much for accommodating us and please tell Nigel thank you!!!"
Lori Tuggle. Georgia, USA
"Ian and Andy were our excellent drivers and guides on our recent trip to London and the Peak District with VanDamme Academy. It was clear throughout the trip how much work and planning had gone into ensuring we had a smooth and unforgettable experience...... We two lucky travellers are both eager to return to the UK as soon as possible! And I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Andy's and Ian's banter and information. I got to ride with each of them at different times and was impressed by their knowledge, patience, kindness, and, for lack of a better word, impishness. They were a joy, we will miss them enormously!"
Denise Howell. California, USA
"Hi Pam! We are home and have not stopped talking about our amazing trip! We were incredibly pleased with the service your company provided. Ian was a fabulous driver/tour guide. He could not have made our trip any more enjoyable. Thanks for everything!"
Brian and Kathy Koppy. Connecticut, USA
"Everything was great. Ian is an excellent guide and driver and I am sorry to say that we will demand to have him again, not if, but when we come back. We truly had a fantastic time! Your tour was the highlight of our trip and thank you for everything you did to put it all together. Both the lunch venue and afternoon tea venue were golden choices however, we thought we'd never eat again after that high tea! I will certainly let anyone I know traveling to the UK, how great your company is."
Rob and Vicki Leuck. Virginia, USA
"Dear Pam and Michael. It has been a pleasure, we thoroughly enjoyed your service today. Looking forward to more entertaining and enlightening trips! If anyone I know goes to London and would require a guided tour (or, indeed, just a pleasant conversation) - I would most certainly recommend your services to them."
Mikhail Taver. Moscow, Russia.
"Pam. I can't thank you and Mike enough for the herculean effort making our trip to England a memorable one. I will definitely be referring your service to anyone I know coming here and will be in contact when we plan our Ireland/Scotland trip. I promise I will give you much more notice for that trip!"
Sean Arthur. West Virginia, USA.
"Hi Pam........We had a splendid trip yesterday. Andy was such a good guide, friendly and accommodating. It so added to our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the castle, Bampton sites, coffee at Huffkins and lunch at The Swan. The tour very much lived up to our expectations! Thank you for making all of the arrangements."
Richard and Miriam Keener. Arizona, USA.
"Dear Pam. Just three words to sum up our experience with British Heritage: Everything was perfect! And the Intrepid and Invincible Ian was fabulous -- right on time with a cheery greeting! His driving style was relaxed, yet completely in control. Clark was able to sit back and enjoy the views -- he is always the driver for our vacations so it was a real treat to hand over that duty to someone as capable and amiable as Ian. We will be sure to recommend your service. Again, thank you for a wonderful experience and send our very best to Double 'I' (Intrepid and Invincible) Ian."
Clark, Inge and Maren Davis. California, USA.
"Hi Pam. You must have a very powerful sun dance because we have enjoyed the best weather we have had on a Euro visit in 5 years! Absolutely stellar! Both of our tours were excellent. Ian was a gracious and informative host. Highclere lived up to all expectations. No question, we will consider your operation again in future visits. Many thanks."
"Pam and Mike. What a wonderful day we had and Andy has been spectacular! Not only is he a very safe and comfortable driver but good company and entirely patient with crazy Americans! We're really looking forward to our next excursion!"
"We had a wonderful time! We will highly recommend you to all our friends and hope to use your company in the future. Tell Andy we will be Facebooking him :-)) :-))"
"Pam - Our outing was a perfect 10. We loved Ian and the agenda you put together for us. He was a wealth of information and fielded questions on a variety of topics with a great sense of humor. We will definitely use you again when we return."
"Good morning Pam. I'm writing this to tell you how much I appreciate all that you and British Heritage Chauffeur Tours have done for me. The tour surpassed my expectations! The itinerary was perfect..... I cannot leave out my driver, Andrew Lawton! He is nothing short of fantastic! His knowledge, wit and clever sarcasm was a perfect fit for me.... Please do thank him for me. I will be recommending BHCT to my friends, family and every travel agent I know...and I can't wait until my next visit to England."
"Thanks, Pam. We had a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyed Ian and his knowledge about history and the area. He was a delight! Now I have been to Stonehenge twice so I probably won't need to see it again. Bath on the other hand may be someplace we l would like to go and stay for a few days some time in the future. What a lovely resort area! Thanks for the nice day!"
"Pam - Mattie and I had a wonderful time! We loved the elegant auto. What a great way to see Highclere - and Jerry is the best! We will never forget all the details he provided before and after the castle. I will definitely recommend your company and Jerry and I will definitely book with you again. It was the Best Day! Thank you again for a beautiful trip."
"We had a wonderful day, from beginning to end! Waddesdon Manor was impressive! Of course the sunshine added to the excellence of the day!! Ian did a great job driving us out and about and we had a very engaging conversation with him throughout the day. All and all a fantastic day! We are looking forward to another adventure with BHCT!! In fact we are already planning for next year! Thank you for your kind attention in arranging our tour! We remain your very satisfied and happy clients."
"Pam, we had an absolutely magical day. I loved everything about it, including Andy. He is a gem. We have loved dealing with your company. I hope to make it back to London. Would LOVE to make it a yearly trip. Would love to bring my girlfriends and have Andy drive us around."
"We really had a great time yesterday and enjoyed our day out with Andy. It was all good fun -- and we are just sorry we don't have a reason to send you emails anymore!! We will let all our friends know about your service so that they can use it if they are coming this way. With all good wishes."
"Pam - I want to thank you for a wonderful day! Your driver Ian was fantastic!!! He made the whole day so very enjoyable. I will highly recommend your company to all of my friends. Please thank Ian for a fantastic experience!"
"Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful day. My wife and I both enjoyed ourselves immensely, in short it was perfect! Nigel did a great job."
"Dear Pam....We had a wonderful time as you can tell by the picture. The weather was as perfect as the day. Ian was fantastic and it was a wonderful experience corresponding with you. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely contact you."
"We had a great day with Ian. He was perfect. We loved our visit to both Windsor and Highclere - a special memory from our time in London. I am also sharing your info with someone we befriended on the ship. Thanks again for a special day. All of my girlfriends are jealous!"
"Thank you and Nigel so much!! We had a wonderful day and enjoyed every minute. Nigel was not only a fantastic driver but also a wonderful host. Our day was perfect. We will eagerly contact you for our next trip to the UK, which we are already planning. Thank you and Nigel again!"
"Ian was the perfect host for our day in the Cotswolds. It was fabulous!!! What a beautiful, quaint countryside to enjoy! .....We'll remember it forever!!! Thank you so much to your company for such a first class experience. [My sister's] birthday was a dream come true! Warm wishes for all good things to all of you!!"
"All too often, reality does not live up to expectations. But thanks to BHC tours it exceeded them. We had a wonderful day with a charming courteous and knowledgeable driver. We absolutely adored Jeremy but I'm still clamouring for a meet with you the next time we pop the pond. Not a detail was forgotten to make our day special. Even the rain made us feel like the ladies of Downton. Thank you Pam and your team for a truly extraordinary day."
"We had a lovely day! The itinerary was brilliant. Both Betty and I enjoyed ourselves. Andy was lovely. I will certainly use your services again and I will recommend them. A splendid day. Till next time. Thank you."
"We had a lovely day with Ian and were lucky the rain held off until we left Chartwell. .....Thank you for organising our trips and I will certainly do more with you on my next UK jaunt, which I hope will not be too far away. Keep up the good work! It is a great service."
"....The day was phenomenal - completely made so by Jeremy and the Jaguar! We loved the village and all the other stops and had a wonderful day. So thank you!"
"We couldn't have had a better time. Jerry was outstanding. Knowledgeable and great fun. He was so interesting - just a lovely tour - and he went out of his way to show us points of interest in London. The day as guided by Jerry was phenomenal. We love London and England and hope to return. When we or our friends and family are planning a trip to England our recommendations will include you and Jerry. Best to you all!!!!"
"It was a wonderful day and I thank you so much! Ian is fantastic!!! Great to meet you and I'll sing your praises and hope for more adventures!!!!! Thanks for such excellent service and great advice!!"
"Pam--We could not have asked for better!! ....We loved lunch. The sweet restaurant in the middle of nowhere would never have been found without you. The atmosphere was precious and the food fabulous. My son hates pretence of any kind. Therefore, the thought of a driver about put him over the edge. But we felt in the long run he would appreciate not having to drive and would enjoy talking to Andy. We were right!! It was very nice of him to make the girls feel special. ....I hope the men appreciate all the hard work you do because without your positive, helpful approach [BHCT] would not be as successful. Thank you, Pam for another outstanding job!!!"
"We had a great day ahead of the business part of our trip. Thank you for arranging it for us. Jerry was good company and very knowledgeable."
"We all had a great time and all expectations were met. Ian was a great driver and lots of fun. Please pass along to Ian our best wishes. ......In two years we will give you a ring for assistance visiting 'Brideshead Revisited'. Thanks again!"
"We enjoyed the day thoroughly and Andy was terrific! By the end of the day it felt like he was a member of the family. The weather cooperated beautifully. You will certainly hear from us again the next time we're in the UK. Thanks for everything!"
"Jerry was a wealth of information. The car was comfortable and we felt like VIPs. The lunch was delightful. We were able to see so much more than we could have seen on our own but more important was Jerry shared all sorts of interesting details about London and England that we would never have noticed on our own even if we were right beside them. Taking this tour was well worth it! Fabulous day!"
"Pam: Just want you to know that we had a fantastic day with Ian. He is delightful and so knowledgeable. We loved our British Heritage experience. It was a wonderful introduction to the English countryside for our granddaughter. Many thanks and all the best."
"We had an amazing time! Thanks so much for the help and Ian was great! Both trips were wonderful.... Waddesdon was definitely a highlight for the whole trip!"
"Andy was our driver, and I will never forget him. His attention to details, professionalism and unique ability to gauge his clients' tastes and interests is incomparable. He knew how much this trip to England meant to me and he went out of his way to make it a first-class experience. I was most impressed that even though I am neither famous nor wealthy Andy made me feel like a star for the day. Since I've returned home to the States I've posted pictures of my tour on social media and told stories to family/friends about how they must contact your company before traveling to the UK. I am certain that I will return to England, so before I do, I will be in contact with you to make arrangements. Please share this email with Andy and let him know that I will never forget his kindness. He is the epitome of professionalism and charm and I hope very much to have the pleasure of having him as a guide in the near future."
"We have had such an amazing day! The trip was wonderful and Andy couldn't have been nicer. Thank you so much! Me and my girls will cherish these memories!"
"I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful day we had! The weather was perfect! Your sweet hubby took such good care of us. Thank you for an amazing day with my girls. I cannot say enough kind words to express my gratitude. You planned the perfect day!"
"We had a fabulous time and Jerry was really super. He has a really great ability to relate to all different types of people and is also a really good driver. He went above and beyond what was expected as far as showing us things in and out of London. Our tour will be the highlight of our trip, I am sure! I do hope to have an opportunity to visit again and work with you all. Please tell Jerry we said thank you again and thank you for arranging everything. Pam was a delight to work with. She arranged the tour exactly as I wished and made planning and payment stress-free. Our whole family loved the day and Jerry."
"We had a super tour with Andy on Monday. We thoroughly enjoyed all the locations and it more than met our expectations. We seemed to click with Andy right from the start and we shared some hilarity of stories of memorable people and places. Thank you for working with us and when we return to England and are in need of a driver we will without doubt call on you."
"Just got back from our tour and Jerry was great! We have never had a better experience from start to finish and we travel to somewhere in England or Europe once or twice a year. Thanks for making our experience so great. We will be looking to book more tours with your company when we are in England next time."
"Our overall experience with the Downton tour exceeded our expectations. Jerry is an outstanding guide and chauffeur. Hopefully we will see you again in the future. Certainly we will recommend your company to anyone travelling to the UK."
"We had a wonderful time on our tour and Jerry was perfect! My husband and he hit it off and could talk forever! It was a very relaxing day, and we loved all the stops and information given to us! My husband would hire Jerry at our business! He was so nice and very enjoyable to spend a whole day with! He went the extra step to make our day so memorable and I hope he passed on how much I appreciated your effort and communication with me in planning our tour! I will pass on your company to anyone we know travelling! Thank you again!"
"We sure did have a wonderful day! Jerry was a fabulous and gracious host and guide. He went above and beyond! I am keeping all of your information handy so I can contact you on another trip here. We will also recommend you to any friends we have visiting! We wish you and your staff all the best and hope to be in touch soon!"
"We loved Ian, and the tour of the Peak District was the most magical and special part of our journey so far. I will be in touch. I have already started scheming ...[and] would love to bring friends to visit some of the places we did, and I'm sure there are many others to explore. I want to go back!"
"We had a wonderful experience with Jerry. He was friendly, polite, humorous and knowledgeable! He was awesome!! If we ever come back to England we will definitely use your services and certainly request Jeremy!! Thanks so much for your excellent service!!!"
"Linda and I would like to thank you for our memorable tour into the English countryside and our visit to Blenheim Palace and Highclere. Mike is a knowledgeable and charming guide. We appreciated his professionalism and his many stories and comments both of his 'former life' as a musician and his knowledge of history as well as his sense of humor. I thank him also for taking the time to return my rain hat. We are home now with many wonderful memories and lots of photos."
"I just wanted to drop you a short note to tell you we had a wonderful day! My mom thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Nigel took such good care of us and was so patient with my mom.......... Your company has been so very professional in every way. I will highly recommend you to anyone travelling here in London and when we return we will definitely use your services again. Thank you again for a very special day of memories for all of us."
"Thank you and Ian for making our trip to Stonehenge and Bath a memorable experience. So far it's been our best day. It was truly great to have Ian, a knowledgeable person, not only drive us around but give us bits of information on every possible subject. Once again, thank you!"
"We had such fun!! And today was great!! Loved Windsor, Bel and the Dragon and Bath. We all enjoyed Ian so much. He answered our rapid fire questions without hesitation. So enjoyable!! We will be contacting you in the future for your tour and chauffeur services. Thanks for all your help!!!"
"[Waddesdon Manor] was the best recommendation. We loved it! Ian was lovely. We really enjoyed our day with him. Thank you again for everything, as always it's a delight to work with you."
"Our day in the Cotswolds was lovely! Nigel could not have been more accommodating. The plan for the day was perfect - thank you for your suggestions. I always appreciated your quick and helpful responses to my emails. We have had a wonderful week here in London with nearly perfect weather! Thanks again for your help."
"Our tour was wonderful!!!! We enjoyed the tour and Andy's company as well. Tell him Thank You again for us!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Ian. He was a font of knowledge and answered our sometimes silly questions (such as how to properly pronounce Marlboro.) The tour was exactly as I wanted and I will definitely refer you to whomever wants special treatment for tours."
"Thank you for an extraordinary day in the Cotswolds and Highclere. We had a marvellous time. Andy was the perfect host; he made the whole day so very enjoyable. He was a blast! It was the highlight of our week in London."
"Nigel was great! We enjoyed his company and loved his tidbits of information and efficiency. It was a wonderful day! Thank you for all your help. I had a fun time corresponding with you and your enthusiasm was great!"
"Pam, your Sun Dance worked!!! Regarding your other task, unfortunately Dame Maggie failed to make her "cameo"!! Hats off to you and Jerry. We all had a lovely time. Perhaps next year we might plan a trip to Wimbledon. So save up your miracles and we'll be in touch. Best regards and thank you very much."
"......The day was excellent and we both enjoyed it very much indeed. Jerry was an excellent driver and guide and really took care of us making the journey interesting and entertaining and we also enjoyed his company and the way he made the day very easy. Thank you for all your help with the arrangements and for obtaining the tickets for Highclere which was a real highlight. We would certainly have no hesitation coming back to you in the future."
"Thank you so much for planning our day and making sure it was perfect. Our expectations were met and exceeded. Until the next time!"
"The tour with Nigel was absolutely wonderful. He was just perfect. We told Nigel that we were going to take him and the car back to the States with us.....It was the perfect way to get to Highclere.....It was definitely the biggest splurge of our trip - but a perfect memory! It was an absolute pleasure to deal with you and the trip with Nigel was priceless. Thanks again for everything!"
"Just wanted to let you know we are sending another couple your way. I highly recommended Ian! I hope all is well. We made some wonderful memories. I would move to England in a heartbeat if I could!"
"My Mom and I just wanted to say Thank You for all your help coordinating our tour yesterday, ending at Downton Abbey. It was so nice to relax and have a day away from the bustle of London and enjoy the beautiful English countryside. Nic was wonderful. He was so nice and very helpful. THANK YOU again for helping create another amazing memory for my Mom."
"We really enjoyed both of our excursions with you. An especially nice way for the 80+ travellers, [one of whom] called Ian her "toy-boy"!! It was so nice to get out of London and see The Cotswolds. Thanks so much for everything."
"Thank you so much for arranging a wonderful tour yesterday. Everything was perfect starting with your excellent driver and knowledgeable guide, Ian. All the nice locations we stopped, the nice car, a day without rain and a safe drop in the evening at our hotel. [My wife] and I really enjoyed it so much. When we plan our next trip perhaps to Cambridge or a Gourmet Tour I will contact you. Thank you again and best regards Walter."
"Thank you so much for our wonderful Downton Abbey Tour! [We] had a marvellous day. Andy Lawton was superb--such good company, great conversation and he took perfect care of our needs. I fully intend to tell all my friends who come to the area about the wonderful service your business provides. Thanks again."
"Our trip to the UK was a great success and Her Honour was very pleased with the result. We very much enjoyed working with all of you at BHCT. Andy was superb and all our transport needs were expertly met. Thank you for all your time and assistance in making these arrangements. Thank you again for everything and I hope we will get to work together again."
"I wanted to say that Mike was the real and true 'highlight' of our too-short visit to London. He made our day with him the perfect way to end our family vacation and we can't thank him and you, Pam, enough for such an unforgettable day. One last word of thanks to you both. You can be sure if any of us heads for England we will be in touch."
"I'm so sorry this note is so late, but I wanted to write and tell you how fabulous your tour was and how delightful Andy was! It was so much fun to be taken by someone who knew so much, although I'm sure he would have preferred less of our chatting. We learned a great deal from him about many things and he was so friendly - he made the day a complete pleasure. The tour was the highlight of our trip! I will be sure to recommend you to friends and I look forward to another tour with your company when I return to the UK. Thank you so much!"
"My client has just returned from Asia and I spoke to him earlier this week. As I'm sure you're aware they are extremely well travelled. He told me the trip to the UK was definitely one of the best trips they've ever made! They thoroughly enjoyed Andy and their active itinerary! I appreciate all of your help and hope to contact you in the future."
"I just wanted to let you know that Roland and I thoroughly enjoyed the tours you organized for us during our recent trip to London. Of course, being able to walk the grounds of Highclere Castle was a tremendous highlight for me but all aspects of the tours were fantastic. Ian was an absolute delight from the moment he picked us up from the hotel until the final day of the tours. Knowledgeable and friendly and it was evident he thoroughly enjoys his job. We were able to see parts of England in a completely different and welcomed manner. Overall, the service was impeccable which we both greatly appreciated. Next time we are back in London we will definitely contact you again. Once again, thank you for helping to fill our trip with great memories!"
"WE HAD A GREAT TIME! And will highly recommend you to our friends. It's been a pleasure. Andy was perfect."
"Pam - I just wanted to thank you for loaning us your husband for our tour :) It was one of the highlights of our trip and the lunch was one of our best meals. I look forward to working with your company the next time we're in London."
"We are home now. What a wonderful two days we had with Ian! He was considerate and thoughtful. Both of those days were the highlight of our trip. I am so glad to have found your site and that we used you. Thank you, Pam for all of your help planning and arranging our first two days in England. We saw so much more of the countryside with Ian. What a joy!"
"I wanted to thank you very much for sending such a wonderful driver as Nic for our all-day tour. He was a perfect gentleman in every way and was extremely helpful especially with my friend in the wheelchair. The tour was great and even though the weather was a fine mist - it seemed just perfect for the countryside. I can't stop telling my friends about it and will keep your contact information on file in case I need it again for future trips."
"Thank you for the most wonderful day ever! We loved every minute of it. Ian was amazing. He made our day SO MUCH FUN and his knowledge was outstanding. Our day with him was the highlight of our trip to Europe! Thank you again Pam."
"I hope this finds you all well. During our flight home yesterday I was reflecting back on our two-week adventure abroad. We so enjoyed our day trip with Andy and I just wanted to thank you again for your help in organizing the outing. Andy is delightful and we will definitely use your services again if the opportunity arises. I have already told friends that I have a guide for them."
"We had a wonderful time yesterday. Andy was very charming and helpful. Can't say enough good things about him. We really looked forward to this special day and it was even better than we imagined. We've had a wonderful time in London and you all were a very big part of it. Thanks for all your help and advice. It was worth every penny. Thank you again."
"Thank you for your help in arranging this truly great day for us! It really exceeded our expectations. Great car and a really great driver - we thoroughly enjoyed Michael's company. He's very knowledgeable and truly likeable. Great guy! The sights you had suggested for us were excellent too and the lunch at The Swan Inn was perfect! The highpoint was Highclere Castle, of course - but it was great to get a feel for the landscape and surroundings before we got there. We were really happy with the entire experience and would recommend your operation to anyone."
"Pam. We had a fabulous day! Andy was the best and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! Thank you all."
"Oh my Goodness! We had such a delightful time on our tour last week. Andy was the perfect driver/guide/entertainer!! We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Andy was very helpful and accommodating when one of our party was delayed and he arranged to pick her up at the train station after lunch. He even gave her suggestions of where to eat and exactly where to meet us. I'm so very grateful that my sister Margaret discovered your company online. Would love the opportunity to use your company again if I'm ever your way."
"We sure enjoyed the day! Terrific in every sense. We dearly love Ian. He made the day a memorable experience. Tops in his class. Highly recommend your tour. There are more like us at home and those that would appreciate the fine service that you provide (to anywhere). We will be back and certainly plan another adventure...for it's the only way to go! Cheers!!"
"Our day with Jeremy was lovely. You were completely correct in your suggestions for the day...Thank you, and Jeremy was perfect....we do hope we will have occasion to work with you and Jeremy again. Many thanks also for the fabulous weather. Sorry I missed seeing your dance!!"
"Thank you so much! We had an amazing adventure with our new friend Andy. He is a wealth of knowledge and has a wonderful attitude about everything. We even got to meet Mike and that was a plus, as was the awesome weather! We enjoyed so many sights, sounds and tastes in London. Thank you all again for a delightful time. We hope to return someday and we will tell all our friends and family about your company."
"We had a blast with Ian. He was as knowledgeable about the venues (Highclere and Waddesdon) as most of the docents. Hope we can have him again on our next visit..... Thanks so much."
"Just a note to tell you how much we ADORED the day's outing you set up for us. We loved Ian Grover, our driver. We wanted to take him home with us. There were seven of us in our group and we all had absolutely the best day imaginable. We started with Ian taking us to Stonehenge.....Then we went to Salisbury and the Cathedral.....Then the high point of the day for me, the trip to Highclere Castle....All in all, I believe that was my perfect day and I said so to all our group. All of the surprises were delightful. Thank you for your help in making this possible."
"Our day with Ian was delightful. He was very informative on all sites and very pleasant indeed! Thank for arranging this excursion to a lovely part of the world! We would highly recommend your services to our family and friends."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our day yesterday - Michael was an excellent guide! ........The Cotswolds were beautiful and Highclere was fabulous. I had a hard time trying to remember that the Granthams are fiction and the Carnarvons are real! We all had a great time and we will definitely let our friends back home know of your excellent car service. Thank you for making our trip to London so wonderful."
"I had to contact you to tell you how happy we were with the itinerary you had planned for us and also with Andy Lawton, our driver for the day. Andy was very professional and yet also friendly and we really enjoyed chatting with him while he drove us from place to place. I will certainly be telling my friends to contact you if they will be needing a driver in London and I hope we can work with you again on another trip."
"When we decided to take our wives on a vacation to London we knew we wanted to spend a couple of days in the country but didn't know what we wanted to do. We struck gold when we found British Heritage Chauffeur Tours. From the moment we started working with Pam the experience was nothing short of outstanding! Our driver Andy was prompt, flexible, knowledgeable and entertaining. In short, it was one of the best trips we have ever taken and we'll be sure to use BHCT again when we are back in the UK. We would highly recommend them to anyone."
"We had a wonderful day and the itinerary worked perfectly. Thank you so much to you and Michael for creating this amazing experience for us. I'll be in touch next year to book another tour and also recommend you to friends."
"We greatly enjoyed our day, as well as Andy's company. It was everything I had hoped for, and more! From start to finish I have been impressed with your service and would recommend you to anyone taking a trip to London. Thank you!"
"We had a marvellous time yesterday! Everything exceeded our expectations! Jerry was AWESOME! He is full of great knowledge and very entertaining. We just loved him! We will definitely be returning at some point in the future and we will certainly book a tour with you guys again. Yesterday was the highlight of our vacation."
"A quick note of thanks for our two days touring with your company. Your help in the planning was most appreciated with no detail neglected. Andy is a great guy and we all enjoyed our two days with him. He was very attentive and friendly. I have used private tours in other countries I have visited and British Heritage Chauffeur Tours now ranks at the top of my list of wonderful travel experiences."
"By the end of our tour many of my clients had told me what a classy way it was to see Highclere. They loved your vehicles, but most of all your drivers! Thanks again for helping our tour program shine!"
"Thank you so much for all that you did to ensure that our experience of England was nothing short of wonderful!! Ian was an absolute gem and went out of his way to ensure that we saw everything and went everywhere on our out of town trips and tours! Please tell him that we all want to say "Bravo and Well Done!!" He truly deserves every accolade possible for his performance as our tour guide. Thank you again for all that you have done for us!"
"Thanks a million for the sunshine! It was a magical day for us. Ian is an incredible guide and representative of your company. You can rest assured that if we ever need personal travel assistance again in the UK we will give you a call. Peace, Love and Elton John!"
"Pam, thank you so much. Steve and I had a wonderful day with Ian. I will certainly recommend your tour company and Ian to others who want to go to Highclere or anywhere else in England. I am the envy of my exercise class because I went to "Downton Abbey"! Thank you again!"
"I wanted to tell you how much we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Andy was delightful and we loved him from the minute we met him. And of course, Stonehenge and Highclere were amazing. The lunch at The Yew Tree Inn was perfect. Thank you for everything. We'll contact you when we plan our next trip - we loved the castle tour so much we decided we would like to see more. Thank you again!"
.
"We cannot thank you enough for serving up a fabulous 'Downton Abbey' tour and making our anniversary truly memorable! Our fabulous driver Ian shared his wealth of knowledge about the various locations we visited keeping us both entertained and on schedule; while Pam took care of every last nitty-gritty detail allowing us to completely relax and enjoy every moment. Bravo! If you're looking for a truly memorable and personal tour then you've come to the right place!"
"I give extremely high marks to BHCT. Andy was on time, very respectful and downright funny when we got him to open up. The vehicle was luxurious and he was an excellent driver and tour guide for the day at the filming locations. We started at Bampton and toured the library and the church. We then stopped at Burford for a little bit of shopping and a wonderful apple-turnover. Lunch at The Swan Inn was excellent with a room full of cordial people and a lot of well-behaved dogs sitting in the bar area. Then on to Highclere Castle with a wonderful self-guided tour covering both the inside and the grounds. An excellent day. This is highly recommended!"
"Thank you so much for arranging this day for us. We truly had a wonderful day and Andy was a delightful driver and guide! We have both commented that this was one of our favourite trips. We do hope to come again!"
"We want to thank you for all your assistance in arranging our tours etc. It could not have been a better experience! We enjoyed listening to Jeremy's stories so much. He was friendly and engaging and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him!"
"We had the best day! Ian was the perfect match and the day couldn't have been more beautiful. I would recommend your tours to anyone and if I can ever help to encourage someone to use your company then please let me know. Thank you for a wonderful adventure and we look forward to doing another tour in the future."
"I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing time we had yesterday! We feel so fortunate to have had Michael as our guide! We both feel that it was a trip of a lifetime and worth every penny that we saved and spent. Michael went above and beyond to provide us with a true English experience. We will recommend your services highly to anyone who travels to the UK. Thank you again!"
"...Ian was an absolute delight - a knowledgeable, elegant and charming guide for our day. As you're already well aware, he is an asset to your team. We just hope the ringing in his ears from the non-stop nattering eventually subsides! Indeed we feel fortunate to have found such an expert, high end tour service in British Heritage and will happily recommend your services to all those seeking an exceedingly well orchestrated and beautifully executed itinerary."
"Every aspect of our day was perfect from the beautiful weather to our brilliant driver. The countryside was gorgeous as was lunch and of course the highlight of the day, our visit to Highclere Castle. We all absolutely had the best day ever. Jerry is a fabulous driver with many an interesting fact and story to tell. We really enjoyed his company. Thank you so much for the experience! We will definitely recommend your company to friends."
"Our day was magnificent and our driver, Ian, was a treasure! Thank you for a PERFECT day (and thank you for the "sundance" the weather was amazing!) We also loved the music....it was absolutely cheesy and absolutely perfect at the same time! What a fun touch - we all enjoyed it. Thank you again!."
"What a trip! Avebury, Lacock and Salisbury in a single day's 'trip' - just the right amount of travel for a fun-filled day.....We thoroughly enjoyed Ian's knowledgeable telling of the history of the land we were visiting......Truly a great adventure we will treasure always."
"We enjoyed our day thoroughly. Ian was great company and a great driver. Turning on the Downton Abbey music on the road to Highclere Castle was a beautiful touch. Waddesdon Manor was beyond our imagination. Thank you so much for arranging our tour."
"I had an awesome time. Great way to get off the beaten track with Andy while hitting the sites as well. Cheers!" (Troy toured the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales)
"I must thank you very much for the fantastic day you organised for us. It was amazing and Andy was fantastic. He was very friendly, patient, a good sense of humour and always the professional. When anyone asks what we did in London I tell them about your amazing tour and service."
"I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic, amazing, wonderful, awesome adventure! The itinerary you prepared for us was simply perfect. Ian was very professional and courteous and made our journey most enjoyable. Thank you for a memorable day. British Heritage Chauffeur Tours is THE way to experience England."
"Your company is truly first rate, the product is superb, and correspondence/coordination with you has been the most fun I have had in a long time."
"Thanks again for two excellent days of touring in England. We enjoyed every venue. We will treasure the memories of the sights and the opportunity to meet and talk with Andy. We will recommend BHC Tours to any of our friends who plan a trip to London."
"This thank you is very much overdue, but wanted you to know how much we enjoyed Highclere Castle. Ian was terrific and went beyond expectations. Thank you for giving us an experience we will always remember. Sincerely and with much gratitude."
.
“You have four new friends and fans; we'll be telling everyone about you and the wonderful time we shared in London. Truly, our trip could not have been any better! And, you certainly helped make it so. Thank you.”
"Thanks for a wonderful day. Your company was as enjoyable as the beautiful English countryside."
"Our trip to Britain was greatly enriched by your superb advice and counsel. We were able to see and do so much more based on your scheduling for us. We recommended you to all visiting the UK. We treasure our trip to the UK. It was the best and made so much better as a result of your help. Please stay in touch."
"What an amazing experience! From the minute Mike emailed back I felt as if I was going to visit a close family friend. We were only in England for a short time but Mike took my 12 year old sister and I to so many incredible places and taught us so much I can't wait to return and explore more of that beautiful country with him. Thanks for everything!"
“Mike and his company set a standard of service and personal attention that we may spend the rest of our travelling lives looking to equal.”
“Thank you - so very, very much - for all you did to create such an utterly fantastic trip for all of us. It was spectacular. Everything went perfectly and without exception, everyone had a splendid time every single day. From meals, to theatre, to (country pursuits), it was ALL tremendous. Even for us old, jaded types, the ‘trip of a lifetime.’ You were marvelous to put up with all our foibles and annoyances, and we are deeply grateful to you.”
“We found no other tour service that offered the same uncompromising standards. Mr Frye and his impressively qualified team transformed a rudimentary travel sketch into a lifetime of heartfelt memories.”
"Our trip to England was the highlight of 2012 and we are very appreciative of the splendid, memorable itinerary you prepared along with the arrangements for our meals and lodgings. Expertly done!”
“We’ve already talked about our vacation with several people and all the castles, palaces, gardens, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Oliver, the food, the 1000-year old pub, etc. When people ask what my favorite part of our vacation in England was, my answer is ’Mike Frye.’ That was the most fulfilling 5-day vacation I have ever had.“
