Testimonials from satisfied customers

From Santa Ana, CA

"My husband and I are about to embark on our seventh Plantagenet Tour led by Professor Peter Gravgaard of Bournemouth, England. That statement in itself should tell you something about our enjoyment and appreciation of his tours. Over the years we have travelled to England, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy and Denmark (twice) and we have learned something about history, art and architecture on each trip."

"Each tour has a central theme or historical figure as the focus of a visit to a particular country. On the first of our six tours we learned about Eleanor of Aquitaine and her fascinating family. One of the Danish tours had the large rotund figure of Christian IV as the central personality. We are about to visit the places in Florence and Tuscany connected with the Medici family."

"We have stayed in attractive hotels, viewed lovely scenery and always eaten excellent meals in interesting surroundings. If you enjoy learning and travelling with interesting people in small groups you will never regret taking one of these trips. You may find that you will lke the Plantagenet Tours so much you will go again and again as we have done."

From Ormond Beach, FL

"I thought the ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE TOUR was the best I have ever taken. I learned more from you about the history, literature and poetry of that time than I did from all the books I had read. I heard many others saying the same thing… that you had pulled all the threads of history into a coherent pattern."

"The tour was beautifully planned, without any stress and with a minimum of rules so everyone was happy. The quality of the tour was reflected in the people taking it… they were all charming, intelligent and good natured always."

"For a person travelling alone, it is ideal. Everything was taken care of for my comfort and safety. I appreciate very much your staying with me at the airport until you were confident my bags were checked in and I was in the appropriate section of the airport and all was well."

"I look forward with happiness to the next tour with you and I only have one regret… that I didn’t know about the Plantagenet Tours long ago."

"Thank you for a wonderful holiday."

From Buffalo Grove, IL

"After our TROUBADOUR TOUR we decided that our ideal life plan should include an annual adventure with PLANTAGENET TOURS."

"Each day of those two short weeks strengthened our faith that around the next bend lay a fascinating place we had never even heard of, a wine we had never tasted, and food we would never forget. To make these discoveries with such delightful companions was the very best of travel experiences, and we thank you for providing it!"

From Columbia University, NY

"Having just returned from our Eleanor of Aquaitaine Tour, my wife and I wanted to express our admiration and gratitude for the tour before the hectic demands of life's routines sweep us beyond our good intentions."

"We want to say how thrilled we were with every aspect of the tour. My wife, who knows everything there is to know about Eleanor after a lifetime of study, says she learned even more from you during our trip."

"While I do not specialize in that particular historical personage, I did find the trip through the back roads and small towns and villages of south France an intriguing experience. Our destinations - the castles, cathedrals, forts associated with Eleanor - were marvellous architectural and cultural revelations."

"We did very much appreciate the personal approach which you took, making you as much a part of the companionship as any member of the group. It is important to say for your guidance, too, that we thought the hotels and meals were consistently of a very high order and were most satisfactory. Peg and I have done a great deal of travelling over the years and the Plantagenet Tour surely ranks among the most enjoyable and best bargains we have ever experienced."

"I don't know how you do it, really, but do keep it up, for the edification and pleasure of future tourists who have the good sense and good fortune to sign up with Plantagenet."
