This tour is a perfect brew of tea, and the continui-tea of life; immersed in history and ancient dwellings; connecting battlefields and haunts of smugglers with picturesque rolling soft chalk hills, and little cozy tearooms nesltled in some twitten/alleyway. From castle moats and ocean spray-swept shores to radiant gardens and stately homes of famous figures. It is here that England bestowed her legacy of continuity.
The Sussex & Kent England tour package will be offered on a regular basis throughout the year, depending upon client interest and bookings.
