Dariusz drove and guided, and was friendly and attentive the whole way. The car was comfortable on the run down to Hever Castle and back. On the way home he took a detour so I could see the neighbourhood I grew up in, which I appreciated.

Melanie was pleasant and informative and made the day easy. She let us have a little extra time so we could finish the visit properly. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the place.

Dariusz was a delight: a good driver, knowledgeable and helpful. He took us to a church we would never have found on our own. I will look for him again whenever we are next over.

Paul was an excellent chauffeur, personable and professional. He drove us to Hever Castle, waited while we explored and brought us back safely. A careful driver, which matters on those lanes.

I had wanted to see Hever Castle for fifteen years. Mark was friendly and informative and the day met every bit of the expectation. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Gareth talked about everything we passed on the way, not only the castle. He was a good conversationalist and gracious about taking photographs, and encouraged me to ask. He helped make the memories rather than just driving.

Hever Castle was on my list because of the Boleyn history, and it did not disappoint. The grounds are like stepping into a postcard. Mark's knowledge went well past the Tudor period and made the day much better than it would have been.

A day exploring Anne Boleyn's family home. We learned about the restoration of Hever Castle and the building of the gardens, and found the Tudor remnants ourselves, Henry's lock included.

An excellent day. Paul is knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful, and the meeting instructions were easy. We customised it around Hever Castle and Penshurst, with a pub lunch in between.

Paul knew Hever Castle, Chartwell and the local area inside out. The train out from London to meet him took fifteen minutes. My partner is interested in everything Churchill and I love old manor houses, so it suited us both.

Paul is a most excellent guide. He did a good deal of research on our day, lined the stops up and made it all work. We learned a great deal about Chartwell, Hever Castle and the Kent countryside.

Paul met us at Hever station and took us straight to the castle. He knows the area very well and was good company. Afterwards he drove us to another small town and waited while we walked around it.

Patricia was the best of all the guides we had on the trip. She was informative and friendly. We will ask for her next time.

Robert was very good on the Hever Castle grounds and knew his material. The driver had been given the wrong information about where to drop us, which cost us a few minutes at the start. We told him where to collect us instead and he was a good driver from there on.
