Private Jane Austen Day Trip
Description
For fans of the world-renowned writer Jane Austen and for those who have seen the wonderful screen adaptations of her work, we take you on a journey through the life of the great novelist, visiting many places that touched and shaped her life and her books. Travel in a small group with your private driver/guide for a more personal experience, and reach parts of the pretty countryside the larger coaches can’t pass. This tour gives you the flexibility to explore at your own pace, with the added benefit of expert guidance when planning your trip.
Service Options
We have three services, tailored to cater to a range of budgets and preferences.
Driver only
An experienced driver who is familiar with our touring routes, but does not guide or offer commentary. Should you book this service, you will explore Steventon, Chawton and Bath independently.
Driver/guide
With this service level, your experienced driver will guide and offer commentary from the vehicle.
Driver with guide
This is one of our most popular options. You’ll have an experienced driver and a separate professional guide on your tour, who can guide from the vehicle and lead you on walking tours in Steventon, Chawton and Bath.
When booking this service, you’ll need to allow a seat for the guide. For example, booking this service for 8-16 people will allow seats for a party of 15 passengers plus the guide.
