Itinerario
Visita al Pozzo Sacro a St Albans. Visitate dal martire stesso e, se ciò non bastasse, queste acque rivitalizzarono l'anziano e malato Uther Pendragon prima di una battaglia. Se non conosci Uther, potresti conoscere suo figlio, il leggendario Re Artù.
Questo bellissimo parco antico sorge in cima alla vecchia città romana, con la città "moderna" seduta sulla collina. Si possono ancora vedere impressionanti tratti delle antiche mura romane.
Guarda alcune delle restanti mura romane sopravvissute.
Ammira uno dei pavimenti a mosaico romano più belli della Gran Bretagna, anzi ovunque!
Questa bella chiesa antica ha 1.000 anni ed è di origine anglosassone. Ancora usato oggi e pieno di storia e carattere.
Esplora le rovine del vecchio teatro romano e i negozi.
Questo museo è pieno di oggetti romani scoperti nel parco e nella città tutt'attorno.
Un contendente per il più antico della Gran Bretagna che, in un modo o nell'altro, ha servito mecenati e pellegrini non molto tempo dopo i romani.
Questa imponente casa con cancello antico ha una storia impressionante e una delle gemme nascoste di questa grande città antica.
Scopri la storia del nostro primo martire cristiano di epoca romana ed esplora una delle cattedrali più belle d'Europa che un tempo era un punto di pellegrinaggio e importante abbazia fino ai tempi del re Enrico VIII.
Guarda questo pezzo di storia vivente dai campi di battaglia della Prima Guerra Mondiale.
Il mercato non è aperto tutti i giorni, ma anche in quel periodo c'è così tanto da vedere qui.
Situato a un'estremità del mercato storico di St Albans, questa torre fu costruita nel 1403 ed è l'unico Belfry indipendente in Gran Bretagna.
Goditi il vivace centro della città di St Albans con i suoi antichi pub, i suoi vivaci mercati, i negozi esclusivi e le vibrazioni rilassate. A circa 20 minuti di treno da Londra ma a un mondo di distanza. Questa è la vera Inghilterra che piace così tanto a noi locali.

Excellent all round. Good service. Brilliant food, especially Omboo. We were served by Lun, 5 stars. The room v pleasant, brilliant shower, no leaking doors!
We came here to celebrate someone's 60th birthday. The location of the hotel is beautiful. Unfortunately, we didn't book a room to stay-in so I can't comment on the rooms. The restaurant itself was spacious and has a great view of the lake. We came during lunch time. They offer a 2-course and 3-course meal. They also offer a children's menu. Overall, we loved the selection offered to us. The meals we ordered were all delicious. The portions were great too, even for the kids' portions. My kids who are usually picky eaters loved their meals too. On top of this, service was great. The staff are kind. They surprised the celebrant with a bday dessert at the end, and they also kindly gave us milk for my baby's bottle. I definitely would go back to this place again. Remember to book though as it was full when we went.
We had a wonderful and fun tour of St Albans . Our guide Kevin met us at our London hotel and accompanied us by underground and train to charming St Albans. The tour was extensive and covered all the sites we wanted to see related to Roman and medieval history. Kevin is a fountain of knowledge and made our walk so interesting , filling us with facts from Roman times to the present. We considered visiting St Albans on our own, I’m so glad we didn’t as we would not have gotten nearly as much out of the visit as we did with a top notch guide. It was definitely worth the cost of the tour.
Thanks so much for your lovely review Ron. We really appreciate it and I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Kevin. It's such a beautiful and incredible place with so many nooks and crannies. Hopefully very Christmassy for your visit too.
Knowing a bit about Roman London we were curious to learn about Verulamium and the connections with London. We learnt a lot from Lin who was very knowledgeable, friendly and coped well with our lively group! We had the added bonus of a glorious warm day.
Thank-you for your lovely review. St Albans is always a nice place to visit but especially on a perfect day, weather-wise. I'm so glad that you had an enjoyable day.
This was a terrific tour. We had this wonderful guide named Kevin who knew so much about Saint Albans and its history. He was so enthusiastic. He gladly would’ve continued walking and telling us more for as long as we wanted. I was enjoying the tour tremendously and only had to give up because I got tired and couldn’t keep up, even though I was probably 10 years younger than he was! He was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and took us for food when we got tired and gave us a great time. Highly recommended.
Thank-you so much for your wonderful review. I'm so glad that you had such a nice time in St Albans. There is so much to see and it's such a beautiful though yes slightly hilly place! St Albans also has plenty of nice old pubs and restaurants so I'm glad you Kevin found you something nice.
An incredibly exciting and interesting place. The day was also enhanced by the very talented guide Kevin, who had an incredibly good service level and great historical knowledge.
Tack så mycket för din fina recension. Jag är så glad att du hade en intressant och bra dag och hade kul med Kevin också. Thank-you very much for your kind review. I'm so glad that you had an interesting and good day and had fun with Kevin too.
Had many visits to special events held at the Cathedral & all have been excellent. Always keep an eye out for their events which never disappoint
Our guide, Kevin, was well informed and entertaining so it was a pleasure to spend the day with him . We live near St Albans, VT so this tour was a must in our travel plans. We were in awe to be standing in Roman ruins, evidence of the forward thinking of Roman engineers (for example, we don't have radiant flooring though some of our neighbors do). Kevin brought to life the wonder of a farmer plowing his field and finding a Roman ampitheater. That doesn't happen here! There is a wonderful medieval church (we couldn't get enough of the churches),and other high points of the local history he didn't want us to miss.He also recommended lunch in an amazing waffle restaurant. Sadly we did not have enough time to tour the Roman museum - that would have required an overnight , or second trip. well worth the expense of the private tour.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed your trip to St. Albans with Ye Olde England Tours. It is such an incredible place and yet comparatively few people visit it as the big coach companies don't go there. There is so much to see with the Roman sights, the churches and magnificent Abbey and just the general vibe of the old streets, markets and pubs. You're always welcome to return one day and I'm sure Kevin would be delighted to pick-up right where you left off. Thanks for such a nice review.
