Castles, Tea & History...Your Ticket to
England and Downton Abbey
From the 50th
anniversary of the Beatles debut in America, to the hugely popular PBS
Masterpiece Theater program, Downton Abbey, Americans never seem to tire
of their fascination with Great Britain. In fact, the first episode of
the fourth series of Downton Abbey drew a record audience in the US of
10.2 million viewers and is the highest-rated drama season premiere in
the network’s history. This fascination with Britain has inspired
Lynette Miller, owner of Traveling Troubadour Cruises & Tours, to put
together an exclusive customized tour of England’s past and present.
“This is a tour I have always wanted to do, and Downton Abbey has given
me the perfect excuse!” said Lynette.
From August 1-9,
2014, travelers will have the opportunity to be immersed in the spirit
and charm of England on a fully escorted tour led by Lynette, who has
been arranging custom group tours for over 12 years. Nowadays people
want to experience the true culture of an area instead of just taking a
“canned” sightseeing tour.
Many unique events
are included so participants can see the sights, yet absorb the culture
and flavor of the country in an affordable, entertaining, and
enlightening experience. Included: Fully escorted custom tour, hotel
accommodations for 7 nights including all hotel tips and taxes,
breakfast daily, a welcome pub dinner in Bristol, 2 hotel dinners in
Solihull, a traditional Cream Tea at a farmhouse, dinner in a London pub
with literary connections, an Elizabethan Farewell Banquet, admission
into the SS Great Britain, Roman Baths, Avebury, Alexander Keiller
Museum, Ann Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Warwick Castle
and Downton Abbey’s Highclere Castle. Also included is a stop in
Bampton, where the village scenes for Downton Abbey are filmed, an
Oxford walking tour and the London Hop On/Hop Off bus tour tickets.
For those who wish to start their British experience in the US,
Traveling Troubadour Cruises & Tours has secured optional group air for
tour participants on the British-owned Virgin Atlantic airlines.
Reservations are
being accepted now through May 19, 2014. More information and the
