I really enjoyed visiting the ancient sites and learning about the history of The Shetland and Orkney Islands. I did feel however that the tour was crammed into four days rather than using the fifth... Ver más

A brief but well organised tour of Cheshire gardens. The tour leader was excellent and the use of time equally so. We had sufficient time in each of the six gardens visited to appreciate each one with... Ver más

Tour number 6 was a winner!
My sixth tour with Brightwater was just as enjoyable as the first five! The sites were interesting, sometimes amazing. The hotel and meals were excellent. Walks along the beach at night were a bonus! The guide and driver were friendly, informative and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

Gardens of Kent and East Sussex
The tour was very well organised, led by very knowledgable guide Julia Corden. Itinerary was well balanced with the visits to the wonderful gardens , some were privately owned and some NT Estates.

Vive la France
Helpful staff both in the office and tour leader. Would have been helpful if the hotel had air con and fridge in the rooms as there was a heatwave which was a challenge.

Good group tour guide knowledgeable and helpful well organised tour. SWEDISH guides excellent and also the driver
Age of group 70 + I would judge early starts long days fit in with Swedish lifestyles early evening meals
Negative aspect left to our own devices in the evening luckily the six singles gelled and we ate together.
Another successful Brigjtwater trip.

Nicholas Merchant superb but terrible hotel
The visits and talks by Nicholas were excellent. Very informative and he is superb company. He organised that side of the Tour extremely well.
Unfortunately the Mercure Hotel in Darlington was terrible. Very hot and immediately opposite a pub which blasted out loud music until midnight. The bottles were then collected and bins emptied around 6AM so very little sleep. Room very cramped and half the lights had dead bulbs. Food was of school dinners standard and many of the staff disinterested.
Brightwater's organisation was poor. Travel requests ignored. Tickets sent out very late by which time it was too late to change anything. A recurrent complaint from fellow Travellers was the move of offices from Salisbury to Cheltenham hss led to the loss of many experienced staff. Those that do remain are totally overwhelmed firefighting.

Great holiday only spoiled occasionally by the rain which no-one has control over

Not Great
There really wasn't much 'content' to this holiday - I'd rather pay more, and get more as with other companies. Hotel was distinctly mediocre. Won't be travelling with them again.

Our guide was only there to help us if ill. She had no knowledge of the gardens or their plants.

Had to cancel our forthcoming holiday due to illness. As we had paid upfront we were due a full refund less deposit. Apparently there is a 14 working day wait for a refund. After 14 days still no refund despite customer services saying it had been processed. Very disappointed with this company.
Good Garden Tour
Excellent driver, good guide all went as advertised.
I took a four day garden tour in England. The bus driver was good and competent, the tour guide gave us some information on each garden. The hotel was what I expected. We went to all the gardens as listed. I had a good time and would go with this company again.
Untrustworthy and dreadful customer service,
Scottish tour was cancelled due to low numbers. It took 10 weeks and as many emails and calls to get our money back which had been paid in full.
When the refund was finally made no confirmation was sent regarding the refund no apology for the delay or for the cancellation. I would not recommend and would not trust this company.
