Brian and his wife Ann Maree were attracted to the longer stays, small group size, and the slower pace of our Best of British tour. The enjoyed the natural beauty of the Lake District and loved being treated like royalty during their overnight stay in Leeds Castle!
The attraction to Albatross was the slow pace and longer stays in locations. It was great to not have to get up everyday and have bags packed. The slow pace enables you to fit more in to your tour. The Best of British Tour attracted us given the access to England, Wales and Scotland. The smaller group is also an attraction.

Everyday had highlights. Bath was captivating, a quick stroll from our hotel and you were surrounded by the ancient roman baths. The Lake District natural beauty was superb.
