Testimonials before

A job well done! I hope this message brings a smile to your face in knowing your efforts and care had an amazing impact on making lasting memories of our English experience in the country.

A Kleber

I wanted to write to let you know how much we enjoyed your arrangements. The experience at Stonor house was extraordinary, quite honestly one of the highlights of our entire trip. The level of personal attention was wonderful, we learned so much about English history

B Whitley

We had a truly amazing experience! Every detail was attended to and the whole adventure was complete perfection. Much thanks to you for dealing with all of our schedule changes and moving parts.

C Beck

Thank you so much for organising such a splendid and successful day on Friday last, we and all our guests so much enjoyed the day and experience.

D Marcuse

It was a wonderful ride, and the rain clouds cleared right before we arrived at the stable. Lots of fun! Thank you.

D Pagliara

I would recommend you to anyone, your service cannot be faulted

Ian Clout

Everything was splendid. We very much appreciate your fast action in setting up the day. Could not have enjoyed ourselves more thanks to you.

J Cunningham

Thank you for your wonderful service in arranging the dinner cruise to the Waterside Inn and the Midsomer Murder tour. We thoroughly loved the boat ride and the food at the restaurant was out-of-this-world. The tour was perfect, our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We will highly recommend you to anyone travelling to the area.

J Delebo

Thank you for our wonderful day, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thanks to all of whom superseded our expectations, truly exceptional in every sense. We look forward to using your services again in the future.

P Connors

We are back in the US, and yes, we had a FABULOUS time! All of our drivers and guides were friendly and prompt. Our guides were very knowledgeable, very personable, and just terrific (we especially enjoyed our Windsor guide). Even our two teenagers didn’t get bored! I think we picked all of the right sites to see, and for the right lengths of time. We had perfect weather every day as well. All in all, everything was wonderful, and we appreciate all of your help in designing the tours and time frames. Overall, the dining was fabulous as well. So again, thank you for all of your help…I think it was our favourite family trip that we’ve taken, and we made some fabulous memories!

P Santucci

We had an absolutely fabulous day visiting Blenheim. We felt very pampered and special. Please thank everyone at Humphreys of Henley for arranging this special day.

P Stirrat

Thank you so much for creating a day that we will never forget. Experiencing so many birds with Dave, we had a day full of joy and great memories. We can’t wait to see the pictures.

R Steele

Thank you for organising a wonderful 4 days. Mike loved the tiger moth flight!

S Folwell

Thank you for setting up the palace tour and helping out with the information and guides. The tour went above and beyond our expectations. We enjoyed it immensely. Wow. What a place.

S Rucker

We had the best meal we’ve had on our trip thus far. Wow! You have taken such good care of us, thank you.

T Gressette

When my hotel guests look for something unique, special and exclusive, Humphreys of Henley can offer memorable and magical experiences through their incredible network and create truly exceptional moments.

Toru, Head Concierge - Belmond Cadogan Hotel

The Windsor Castle experience was an unforgettable one for my daughter and I. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with the extremely knowledgable Amanda who seemed to know every intricate detail about the castle. Seemingly tailored specifically to ourselves, the tour was enlightening and very professional. Humphrey’s ensured every aspect of our trip was well organised. Wouldn’t hesitate to use for further trips in the area.
