I’m a big fan of Jane Austen (who isn’t) and I was a bit apprehensive before booking the tour because I already know so much about her, that I thought, what more could I learn? Wel, I’m happy to say I was wrong. This tour was very informative and had some quirky facts about the author that I didn’t know and was very excited to learn. Overall I had a really great experience!
