Hello everyone, Mitchell here, I have settled into the team now and am still thoroughly enjoying the office atmosphere and team spirit. Those of you that have been looking at the website will notice that the Stonehenge Special Access dates for 2008 are now up and we have already started taking bookings for next year.



As Chloe has pointed out England are through to the semi finals of the Rugby World Cup and most important of all Liverpool are doing well in the League.
I'm looking forward to watching England in the Rugby and the Football on Saturday, I'm sure they will do well.
I look forward to booking you onto one of our tours soon.



COME ON ENGLAND!



Englands through to the Semi final in the Rugby world cup!! YAY!


As you already know I'm a HUGE supporter of rugby and so I can't wait to see England play in the Semi final against France!!! My dad went our to France two weekends ago to see the games and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

I hope england wins im keeping my fingers crossed.

best of luck to them all! :)

History & Mystery

Hi Everyone,

I went on the History and Mystery tour yesterday and Had a really good day out with Rob (driver) and Andy (guide).

We started by being picked up in central London and heading out to Lacock Village, Andy got everyone talking on the mini-coach, within 25 mins everyone had introduced themselves, we had two couples from America, a single lady from New York, 2 English ladies and an Australian couple, so we had a good mix of passengers on board.

Andy gave us all the information we needed, pointing out different sights on the Way to Lacock, we saw Windsor castle, A chalk White horse and Silbury Hill.

Once we got to Lacock, it was one of the most picturesque places I have every been, we had a quick tour and 30 mins free to have a look around.

Once we were all back on board we set of for bath where we saw the cloisters and went to the Roman Bath museum, we had approx an hour an a half to explore Bath.

The last stop was Stonehenge which is a really magical place.

All in all I had a really good day out thanks to Rob & Andy.

Summer is here....

Well, it seems that the English summer has just started (fingers crossed) after the terrible floods - which came at the time when i was camping, lets just say that we re named our tent the swamp!!

Anyway, we have had a couple of weeks of gorgeous sun and everyone seems to be enjoying it.

Its my 21st birthday next week too, so all in all, August is a brilliant month, good weather, and a great time to go on tour, The English country side at this time of year is beautiful.

I hope i can help you in planning a great day out soon,

Charlotte

To put a face to the name .......

As you might know, I am from Good Old Germany and I am quite excited to go to OKTOBERFEST (Beerfest) for the very first time this year!!!




I went to Munich last year about a week before the Beerfest kicked off and it was GREAT FUN even though it hadn't even started!

Have a look at the Beerfest-Tours we offer:

And a couple of other photos from the Astral Travels guys.

These were taken at the Marlow Regatta a few weeks ago, hence the posh clothes... It is not often that we see Dan in a suit!

You should know who is who by now I guess..? (the "older lady" is our boss Sue - he he)...
