Booked for April 2020 but was cancelled due to Covid and wouldn’t refund money,issued voucher to use in 2021.Now informed that they won’t honour existing booking as they’ve put price up by £150 ???????? so have refunded original money.Have kept my money for over a year to help their business survive but now increased the price by about 80% and don’t want to look after existing bookings.Shocking way for a company to act so avoid them at all cost.Contact Liverpool taxi drivers via social media who will look after you at a fraction of the cost with a professional service. Brit Movie Tours are greedy and unprofessional !!!

17/09/2020 - Our adventure was absolutely brilliant! Frank our driver was the best! His knowledge of North Wales is outstanding. He kept us all entertained throughout the trip, he’s such a friendly guy with a fantastic personality! This trip is definitely worth another go just to take in all the scenery, idyllic places, history, shops & cafes. Will be booking another trip with Frank in the very near future. 10/10

This tour was fantastic from the second we’d booked it!! The communication from Ian was quick and efficient, much helped by the fact that he does all the organising/booking/tours himself so he knows exactly what he’s doing. The tour itself was just so informative, I cannot believe that one person can remember that many facts and dates, Ians knowledge verges on encyclopaedic! I won’t say too much about the places that you visit as you need to book and see for yourselves. What I will say though is that is was fun, informative, good value for money, breathtaking and that chances are we will return to Liverpool with family next year and do this tour again, hopefully the weather will be better next time, but even that wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits. Thank you Ian, it was a real pleasure to meet you!

Spent about six hours walking around the ruins and then Studley park. Stunning place in a gorgeous setting along the river. The abbey itself has numerous ruins to see but also some high buildings and fabulous intact cloisters, some of the best I've ever seen. The scenery takes it's own pride of place and of course the history makes for a rewarding day out, go and enjoy.

Discover some of the most scenic coastline in southern England on a coach trip from Bournemouth.

Have a cream tea or fish and chips in one of the many tearooms, cafes or pubs in the village of West Lulworth.

This trip runs all year and provides an amazing day out, even in the depths of winter, just be sure to wrap up warm and look forward to a hot drink in one of the cosy pubs or cafes once you have blown the cobwebs out.

This trip was a really spontaneous decision right before the end of the summer, but it ended up being one of its best parts! Paul is a fantastic guide with plenty of interesting stories and details to tell about the places! Was a joy to listen to him, as well as to explore on your own, since everybody was given time to do so at each stop. Throughout the trip the weather went through every change imaginable, but the it didn't make the experience any less enjoyable (in fact, the opposite!).
