Matt was a wonderful, thoughtful host on our day tour of Wells and & Glastonbury. It was a rainy day, but he was prepared with umbrellas! Knowing the rain would slightly impede our day, he added an additional sight, which we greatly appreciated. HIs knowledge of Wells and Glastonbury was impressive and we truly appreciated learning the history. Our lunch was very tasty and he introduced us to Cider, a drink we embraced and drank throughout our stay in England. I would highly recommend Matt - you'll be very happy with his tours.
