What if I don’t know about the Plantagenets or History

It doesn’t matter, you will love visiting many incredible historical places throughout France and the UK

How many people will be on my trip?

As I pride myself on delivering individually focused attention, all tours are limited to 20 guests.

I’m travelling alone?

Plantagenet Discoveries tours are perfect for solo travellers as you will be part of a close-knit group to meet and share experiences with. You can either have your own room (this will incur a single supplement charge), or I can put you in touch with a similar solo traveller if available.

What if I have a disability?

Everyone is welcome on Plantagenet Discoveries tours regardless of ability or disability, however you should consider the suitability of the itineraries. Because of the nature of the tours the historical sites visited may incorporate a lot of walking, stairs, and in some places uneven ground.

To fully benefit from these tours, at least a mild to medium fitness level is recommended so you can take full advantage of all the wondrous places visited.

It is a requirement to have comprehensive travel insurance cover to join the tours. I strongly recommend the insurance you choose covers you for sickness, cancellation and loss of luggage.
