Overview

While big bus tours waste hours in Central London traffic, I meet you at East Croydon—just 15 minutes from the city— or another local station - to get you into the Kent countryside faster. You’ll enjoy more time at the visit sites and less time travelling, I provide the luxury of a private chauffeur with the freedom of solo travelers. Unlike rigid group tours, I have no strict timetable. If you want an extra hour in Hever’s gardens or a slow lunch at a 16th-century village pub, I adjust to your pace. It’s your day, your way. The ideal trip is to visit 2 of the locations with a stop for lunch in a country pub.
My name is Paul, I am a retired School Principal and I'd love to share my local knowledge of these historic Kent attractions with visitors as I transport you around the countryside.
