We will travel to Stonehenge via the New Forest, traditionally the hunting ground of the kings of England.
Stonehenge is an ancient wonder of the world, built approximately 5,000 years ago. Was it a place of worship, or sacrifice?
From Stonehenge, we travel to Salisbury, a beautiful medieval city, full of historical buildings and a beautiful cathedral, and the best fish n' chips.

At the present time I only have a limited availability, but this will change in the next few months.
I hope to guide full-time next year, when the situation returns to normal....
I have been a Tourist Guide since c.2014. I started out as a Green Badge Tourist Guide for Southampton, then took a Blue Badge course to become a guide for the central southern region of England.
I have a passion for history and beautiful places, and would like to share them with you.

“Nice but not up to expectations ”
Pleasant but not the level of l knowledge or expertise we hoped for. We had expected a guide with a deeper passion for and knowledge of English nautical history. We learned more for overhearing other guides then from Andy.

Dear Fred, Thank you very much for booking a tour with me, and for your very generous gratuity. It is regrettable when expectation does not align with reality. The level of expertise that you expected could only realistically be obtained from a museum curator / expert; something that I never claim to be. The full-time staff located on the specific ships have an encyclopaedic knowledge, and therefore they would know the more obscure facts like how Nelson liked to dry his feet on the rugs in his cabin. I hope that your head has recovered from the low decks on HMS Victory. Have a lovely rest of your stay in England. Best wishes, Andrew
