We did this for my Brother's 50th and it was excellent. Justin was really knowledgeable and very personable, it was great to see three different sized vineyards and meet the owners of 2 of them. Even with a few hiccups from our end in terms of travel/getting there - Justin & Nicola managed to wrangle us and keep us on time. I highly recommend this

We offer a unique experience viewing Kent on an electric bike. Whether an individual, couple of small group, we have a number of marked routes that pass many of Kent’s great attractions including historic castles, vineyards, a brewery, famous gardens, beautiful villages and lots more.  One of the popular trips is around the Kentish Weald visiting local vineyards, having a tour and tasting award winning wines. The electric bikes are comfortable and reliable.  If you have never used an electric bike before, you use it exactly the same way as a pedal bike. The difference is that when you pedal, the motor kicks in to assist you.  Electric bikes are great for groups of people who would normally cycle at different speeds.  With electric bikes, everyone can cycle at the same speed by altering the amount of power coming from the bike. You can hire for a half day (10am-1pm or 2-5pm) or a full day 10am-5pm.  Get in touch for hire prices.

Inclusions: Electric Bike

Exclusions: Entrance fees to attractions not included

Everything was very well organised and Marcus was very helpful from how to ride the bikes and what routes to take. The country side on the routes is beautiful, the lanes are peaceful and not much traffic. We throughly enjoyed our trip and I would definitely recommend this experience. You don’t need to be fit or young to ride these bikes. We will definitely be booking again.

Helped organise and also attended a virtual wine tasting event held by Wine Tours of Kent. This was a corporate event with over 70 attendees. Abi was brilliant throughout, she was on top of everything, really responsive and extremely helpful. Can't fault her or the company at all. The wine tasting itself was fantastic, our wine guide (Tom) was very knowledgeable and I definitely learnt a few tips and tricks. It was very informative and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend!

I really recommend everyone who wants to get an inside into London's history and brewing tradition. Our guide Steve was such a great guide. What a legend! On the tour were only my husband and I because the group from Netherlands that should be with us had some problems with their flight, so they didn't arrive in London on time to take the tour. Despite being only the 2 of us, Steve gave us a tour as if it was a big group and really made an effort to show us everything. We had such a great time with him, if felt like we were with a friend in the city. Looking forward to visit London again.

We stayed at the hobbit house prior to the lock down and I have to say we couldn't have chosen a better. The accommodation was brilliant lovely and relaxing in a great location. The hosts were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. There is plenty to do in and around the area although things were starting to close down because of the virus. We will definitely visit again hopefully when the wine tour/tasting season is in season.
