Tours of the Realm personalised tours

Tours of the Realm is based in a lovely corner of south-east England but tours around the UK. We have glorious gardens, historic houses, castles, cathedrals, churches, picturesque villages, ancient towns, countryside and coastline just waiting to be explored. Personalised tours can take you to intriguing little places off the “beaten track” along with the many destinations to be found on the more heavily trodden path!

Why choose a Tour of the Realm?

A Tour of the Realm is fun, informative and will proceed at “your pace”. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sights whilst someone else takes care of the driving and the map reading!

Each Tour of the Realm is individually tailored to the interests of the client with their preferences and “wish lists” taken into account.

How it works!

At the initial enquiry, I will ask for as much relevant information as possible.
I will suggest an outline itinerary and give a quote for the tour.
The date will be fixed, a deposit paid and a bespoke itinerary will be created.
The balance for the tour will become due 60 days before the tour date.
The day arrives for your Tour of the Realm…enjoy!

Ideas and Inspiration

Tours of the Realm does not offer “set” or “pre-packaged” tours. Each tour is individually created for the client.

Some visitors have a definite idea of where they would like to go and what they would like to see whilst others may have no prior knowledge of what is available in the region. Whichever category you fall into, Tours of the Realm will ensure that you have a fun and informative tour.

With castles, historic houses and a wealth of interesting places to visit, take a voyage of discovery and get in touch with thousands of years of heritage.

Your personal guide and driver - Jane Martin

In October 2008 I became the owner of Tours of the Realm. Running my own bespoke travel company for the exclusive end of the leisure market had been a long held ambition and owning Tours of the Realm was the realisation of this dream.

I have always had a fascination for the history and culture of Great Britain. I love discovering its glorious gardens, historic houses, castles, cathedrals, churches, picturesque villages, ancient towns, beautiful countryside and coastline. Sharing these interests with visitors from home and abroad is something I’m passionate about.

Travel in style and comfort

My car is a top of the range Volkswagen Passat Estate. It is fully air-conditioned, offers generous interior space, has luxurious leather seats, great visibility and can safely venture through the pretty little country lanes and tiny back roads that regular tour buses are unable to negotiate.

The car was chosen with my clients’ comfort as a priority and, though I am licensed to carry 4 passengers, to ensure the exclusive and superior service for which Tours of the Realm is known, I prefer to carry a maximum of three passengers when delivering Day Tours. Additionally, I am a Member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
