About This Tour
Dr Geoff, your guide, has a PhD in history from the University of Oxford and specializes in medieval church architecture. This is like no other tour. First, you get picked up from the cruise terminal and then visit a 12th-century gem, Romsey Abbey. Dr Geoff leads you through this marvel. See the grandeur of this monastery and learn about the people who worshipped inside. Second, we then have a short drive to Salisbury. Dr Geoff also gives a personal tour of this Cathedral which many consider one of the finest examples of medieval English Gothic architecture. You will be astounded by the stunning interior as your eyes gaze towards the heavens - it was designed this way - truly awe-inspiring. Third, after our two tours and lunch in a 700-year-old pub, we head to London where our tour ends at Paddington Station.
