Testimonials
The Real Britain Company was launched at the start of 2007. After 5 years of research, we spent 2006 setting up and thoroughly testing the process with live examples. We readily admit to being a fledging business, but look how we are doing so far! What's more our customer's are getting fantastic value for money as our reputation becomes established
…the trip was just great and your organisation of all things was just fantastic. The points of interest you gave us in each place kept us busy (as we like to be) at all times.
…we wouldn't hesitate to recommend your Company to our friends and associates - this is a great service at a very reasonable cost, and we really appreciated being able to work things through the planning of our holiday so easily with you both.
Thanks so very much for all of our invaluable assistance.
Mike & Brenda, New South Wales, Australia
We really enjoyed the trip. Staying in the B&Bs, driving back roads, seeing fewer big cities, but lots & lots of our "interest sites" made for a memorable vacation.
Traveling with the Bernings broadened our stops, and I feel really satisfied with our tour of the UK. I would recommend your agency to any friend who asks! Thank you for all your assistance.
The Bernings and The Kelms, Ohio, USA
In a nutshell you exceeded our expectations.
In general, the itinerary, daily directions with driving times, the selection of B&B's and suggested places to see were spot on… we are full of praise. Thank you both for making our tour of UK so enjoyable.
Come and visit Australia some time; we can point you in a few good directions!
Sally & John Adamson, Rose Park, South Australia.
Our trip to England was awesome… Thanks for the driving tips, exceptional easy to follow itinerary, together with detailed direction instructions, this saved us a lot of time when driving.
Your suggestions of things to see were very good. Overall, I would give you an excellent rating and recommend you to others travelling in England. It is the way to see the 'real Britain' and meet the people who live there. …your part of our trip was awesome!!!
Glen & Val, Ontario, Canada
... we had a wonderful trip and so enjoyed the accommodations you set us up in. The settings for each was beautiful, the rooms were nice, and the breakfasts delicious!
We feel very grateful that I just happened upon your website and also appreciated the daily directions and suggestions in them. We won't hesitate to recommend you to our friends who may be considering an England trip.

"Kate, thanks so much for putting together an extraordinary trip for us. We had a wonderful time; I navigated 2000 miles on the wrong side of the road without incident; and we met many interesting and entertaining people.
…thanks again for your effort. It was a trip of a lifetime."
Bob Orr, North Carolina, USA
"I loved my 3 days in Devon. The little cottage was just lovely. Mrs Kingdon had put fresh flowers in there before I arrived. It was lovely & warm in the accommodation ( it was cold outside) I hope I get a chance to get back there some time.
I really appreciate all you did & the short time you had to do it. The package of information you put together was good. I will certainly recommend your services to any of my friends going overseas at any time. Thank you again."
Pat Lambert, Queensland, Australia
"...we enjoyed all our stays. Mike says to tell you that the directions and maps were great. We ended up driving about 1200 miles, but the distance each day seemed about right. Even so, it just whetted our appetite for more. There is so much to see and do that we feel we barely scraped the surface.
We weren't able to follow all of your suggestions, but we did do many of the things you recommended and found them all worthwhile.
Thanks for planning a great holiday for us. I hope to consult you again in the future (maybe the Orkneys next time?). You provide a fabulous service and I could unhesitatingly recommend you to anyone looking for assistance in planning their vacation."
Janet Holden, Vancouver, Canada
"We just wanted to drop you a line to express our thanks for organising our recent break in Northumberland. Your choice of hotels was exactly what we were looking for - with a suitably impressive menu (& wine selection)
Being able to take our dogs was important, and they had a wonderful time too. The scenery we enjoyed whilst walking was fantastic - we had heard that the Northumbrian coast was glorious - you proved it really is."
Sue & Phil Potter, Sheffield, UK
"I was delighted with the itinerary we received back - the proposal was clear, concise, and responded well to each of the individual special requests we raised.
Ian & Kate's local knowledge is invaluable, as were the additional handouts and pamphlets which helped to bring the areas and activities mentioned in the itinerary to life. This is the extra something that you could never get from a guide book so this service is a must for those with busy work lives and need help planning a holiday for them!"
Karen Miles, Dublin, Ireland
