Wells and Glastonbury fantastic tour

5.00Mattias with Galahad Tours gave my husband and I another fantastic tour. This was day 3 of 3 private guided tours from Bath. Matthias took us to Wells and Glastonbury. Both areas were very interesting and beautiful. Our guide made the historical events come to life. It was cool to see where King Arthur and Guinevere were most likely buried. Also, Glastonbury was quite a surprise as being a fun and lively place and completely “new age“. We stopped at ato a nice local place for lunch. It was a fun and interesting day. We truly appreciated our knowledgeable, friendly and professional guy, Matthias. Thank you so much.! I highly recommend his company and services
Unique private tour of Glastonbury and Wells you will cherish!

5.00Matthias was more than we expected! Aware of our interest in Roman History, he didn’t miss a thing! He offered us options along the way and introduced us to so much more than we imagined including local “not usually on standard” tour experiences and helped me find a unique piece of jewelry from the same stone found in Stonehenge! From the uniqueness of Glastonbury to the preserved antiquity of Wells, this is a tour and guide you don’t want to miss! Thank you, Matt, for going above and beyond!
The best tour I've ever booked!

5.00Matt was both informative and entertaining. As for the sights, amazing. I've never been to a place like either Glastonbury or Wells. Quaint, stuffed to the brim with history and lore, and utterly fascinating, both past and present. The best tour I've ever booked.
Fantastic, five star service

5.00We first toured with Matthias a few years ago and we wanted to come back to explore more with him on our recent visit. It was like meeting up with an old friend and we really enjoyed exploring Somerset this time - Glastonbury and Cheddar Gorge and Wells. The weather was perfect and the scenery was as beautiful and varied as M told us. We even got to try some original cheddar cheese and visited a local cider farm on the second day. He always chooses somewhere great to eat lunch and really takes his time to answer all our questions. Thank you, J&G
More than just a tour.

5.00We had the best day with Matt seeing Wells and Glastonbury. We asked him for his recommendations on where to visit near Bath and the day didn’t disappoint. It was beautiful, fascinating and full of surprises. We learned tonnes and had blast. Highly recommended.

5.00Galahad tours is exceptional - I cannot say enough. We spend several days with Matthias - he picked us up from the Southampton cruise terminal - we toured Salisbury, the Cotswold's, Highclere Castle, Wells, Glastonbury and returned our group to Heathrow. I'm surprised he wasn't a history major! His knowledge is so expansive - there was never a question he could not answer. Thank you Matt for a wonderful visit.

5.00Had a wonderful time on this private tour with Matthias and cannot recommend this tour enough. I had been to the Cotswolds a few times already so I knew I wanted to see another part of the countryside - and Wells did not disappoint. It was the perfect quintessential small-town, authentic, quaint but majestic city (it is in fact the smallest city in England) and it was amazing to visit on market day. After Wells and a great lunch with Matthias, we ventured to Glastonbury - definitely quite different from Wells. We enjoyed the serenity of the cathedral grounds and ruins but wouldn't say Glastonbury is my vibe per se (cynical NYer here). Either way, it was a fantastic day out seeing both! If you are looking for a private tour guide, book Matthias! He was professional, very conversational and made you feel instantly comfortable in his company - plus a good sense of humor! He definitely helped make my 4th trip to Bath a very memorable one!
