Europe is the most visited region in the world, and England is one of its most popular destinations, welcoming more than 37 million visitors each year. With its prominent role in history and its modern-day royalty, England offers places that bring that history alive: castles, palaces, churches, and other iconic sites.
For travelers wanting a twist on the typical British tour, Pathfinders offers a variety of specialty tours that provide a different perspective of the country while fueling a variety of passions. Always popular are the company’s culinary and wine/beer tours, as gastronomy is a strong draw for many. England also offers the perfect backdrop for programs with a literary focus, with attractions related to such famous native writers as William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, as well as itineraries related to movies and television shows, such as Harry Potter and “Downton Abbey.”
A unique option offered by the company is its selection of hobbies and crafts tours. Says Justin Taylor of Pathfinders, “Some of our most frequently requested tours in this category include those related to gardening, quilting and needlework, and ceramics and pottery. For all of these tours, we provide customized, hands-on activities combined with visits to typical sites throughout England.”
Although most itineraries for these specialized tours last between 10 and 14 days, Pathfinders’ dedicated staff will customize a trip of any length to meet the needs of the group. “Bring your student, church, or specialty club group to England, and we’ll be happy to create the perfect trip to match your group’s passion,” says Taylor.
