Alton
During this two and a half hour tour I will take you to discover the places that marked the life and inspired the works of Jane Austen and accompany you along the path that she herself used to take when an DA goes from Chawton, the village where she lived with her mother and sister, to the nearby town of Alton to shop or visit friends or family. The tour departs from Alton train station and follows the "Jane Austen Trail" to Chawton. Alton is a beautiful town in Hampshire surrounded by 360-degree DATA from the beautiful countryside of southern England which is about 70 kilometres from London and half an hour from Winchester. In its old town there are many buildings associated with the life of Jane Austen that are mentioned in her letters. In this first part of the tour, I will take you to discover Alton and the places related to the author of Pride and Prejudice, as well as providing some information related to the history and present of this beautiful town.
Chawton
After visiting Alton, the tour continues to the nearby village of Chwaton (about 1.2 miles from the center of Alton) along the "Jane Austen Trail", the route she herself used to travel when going from place to place. The route is flat and passes entirely on sidewalks so it is suitable for everyone. Chawton is a delightful village in the South Downs National Park, with thatched fairytale cottages, beautiful parkland and a romantic stone church. But Chawton is above all the place where Jane Austen lived happily the last eight years of her life and wrote most of her novels. 2025 is the right year to visit Chawton because it is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen. In this part of the tour I will take you to discover the village that Jane Austen knew and loved and offer you a taste of how to live in an English village starting from my daily experience as a resident of Chawton.

5.00We met our guide Laura outside the train station. She is a lovely lady who guided us through Alton giving is the history of the town and the different ways it related to Jane Austin and her family. We walked along the town and into Chawton on a beautiful sunny day, stopping at the different houses as Laura explained the history and architecture until we arrived at Chawton House. Laura painted the picture of Jane and her family through out the tour so well that by the time we were able to tour Jane’s house it all seemed so familiar and really special. This was a beautiful experience and was a special highlight of our trip to London from Texas. Thank you Laura. Your knowledge and passion for Jane Austin was what made this experience so special.
A real treat for Jane Austen fans

5.00Laura was great! She is Italian by birth, but the tour was delivered in excellent English. I Bought as an anniversary present for my wife, and she loved it. A super itinerary that brought new insight in to Jane Austen. Laura's knowledge and way of sharing was faultless, helped by her own research. We found parking at Alton Station to be ideal. And the end point of the tour is perfect for a visit to Jane Austen's house and Chawton House. Highly recommended
Fantastic!

5.00I recently took the Alton and Chawton walking tour with Laura, and it was an excellent experience. She was waiting for me at the station to begin the tour, and because she conducted it just for me, it was a truly great and personalized experience from the very start. Laura’s knowledge of both the town and the village is impressive. She is particularly skilled at explaining the historical atmosphere of the neighborhood, making it easy to visualize what life was like during Jane Austen's time. What makes this tour so robust is that she doesn't limit herself to just one subject; she shares a wealth of information regarding the general history of the town as well. It was a comprehensive and insightful experience, and I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a deep dive into the local history of the area.
A highly recommended experience

5.00Laura gave an informative and fascinating walking tour in Jane Austen's footsteps, from Alton to Chawton Village. She is interesting and friendly. My mom and I were the only two on the tour, and she made us feel very comfortable. Make sure you have good walking shoes, and dress for the weather. After Laura's tour, we had afternoon tea at Chawton House, watched the sheep being herded in the front yard, then went and toured Jane Austen's House museum. It's a lovely and charming village that shouldn't be missed! Thanks Laura!
A dream experience
