Update: November 2015

Tours Launched: Early Season, 2016

Bookings are now arriving for the newly launched tours scheduled for the early season, April to June, 2016 with a quarter of available places already booked. Newcomers to Boxwood Tours may not realise that each tour and each tour season is unique and different: researched, designed and organised afresh each year. For the full range and details, click this link to return to the web site….

'Back-to-Back' Tour Offer

The June tours, 'Gardens of Alsace & Rhineland' and 'Gourmet Gardens of Belgium' are only a few days apart and are close enough geographically to enjoy ‘end to end’ if it suits, particularly for those travelling from outside Europe who may wish to make more of long-haul flights. If this is the case, do contact us at the Boxwood office as we are able to help with the additional transport and accommodation required to bridge dates and distances involved.

Traveller Comments: Autumn Tours, 2015


Hortus goes to Dorset: Sept 2015

Oh my goodness; what a wonderful, wonderful experience...

Plumber Manor was a dream of a place to stay: our enthusiasms runneth over…

Thank you for your help with our arrangements which went so well...

Plumber Manor superb; staff excellent; mine host great fun; food excellent; good choices...

David Wheeler is a star, as we say over here; please put me on the list for another of these tours....

Gardens of Loire & Berry; Sept 2015

All surpassed my expectations. Lovely to go as a small party to private gardens and to be shown round by owners. The home grown lunches and one evening meal were an unexpected treat.....

All excellent.....would love to go again on a different tour...

Superb: have stayed in many French hotels and this was by far the best. Service, attention to detail, room, dining & reception areas superb. Food was outstanding....

Patty Shone was excellent ... she looked after us so well. Maite Delmas gave excellent background information and answers to botanical questions. They both made the tour a great success....

Found personal chat with Boxwood staff very reassuring especially as I was a little anxious about being on my own....

Telegraph Irish Gardens; Sept 2015

I went rather nervously as I am not very knowledgeable but I loved the whole week and the people were lovely. Thanks, Helen & Jimi...

Lunches & teas at gardens were first class. We very much enjoyed travelling through the Irish countryside...

The gardens and Jimi Blake were excellent….

The gardens visited were very interesting; the owners plus official guides very good & helpful and we were made to feel welcome….

Country Life, Turin; Sept 2015

Villa Silvio Pellico particularly lovely and a splendidly warm welcome. The Agnelli garden was very splendid and refreshments generous....

Hotel Sitea so very comfortable, thank you....

A lovely hotel in a great location...

Helena Attlee and David Wheeler are very good tour leaders....

I loved the trip and am so grateful for all the hard work & research...

… we had two marvellous leaders…

I have very much enjoyed the Boxwood Tours I have been on…. I recall wonderful highlights. I look forward to details of Madeira....
