TESTIMONIALS
This is the second M. R. tour based in the UK only I have taken and it is a delight to see your own country in a way you usually associate with foreign travel.
R.T., Middlesex
Nicely timed and varied. The weather was very kind to us and the length of the “day out” was not too taxing in the heat.H. & E.B., Co. Down
Very impressed with our lecturer’s knowledge of everywhere we visited and how everything was so well organised.E.G., Berkshire
