Lukas Meyer

We originally met Max whilst staying at his holiday cottage near Cambridge whilst working at RAF Molesworth. He is an excellent host and it gave us a taste to return for one of his UK tours. We found his tour fascinating from start to finish. For our first time of exploring the UK we could not have been in better company. His tour was well thought out and we visited some incredible locations. We are now back home in Oklahoma we are still smiling and reflecting !

I wanted my daughters to have an authentic tour of the United Kingdom chaperoned and in safety. Maxwell and his team were consummate professionals, very knowledgeable and nothing was two much trouble. Whilst the tour was primarily historical and culture focused they even fitted in a days shopping much to my daughter’s delight ! Thoroughly recommended.
