Osborne House-Un tour guidato con autista del Victoria's Island Paradise
Descrizione
Osborne è una gemma nascosta tra le residenze reali. È allo stesso tempo intimo e grandioso, parla sia della passione di Victoria per Albert e della sua famiglia, ma anche del dolore che ha sofferto quando lo ha perso così inaspettatamente nel 1861 ben 40 anni prima di seguirlo. Essendo una gemma nascosta, Osborne è anche spesso meno affollata delle altre principali attrazioni e si ha il tempo di rilassarsi completamente e godersi l'esperienza. Inoltre, una traversata in mare aggiunge sempre l'emozione di qualsiasi viaggio e l'arrivo su un'isola aggiunge al proprio senso di avventura!

Itinerario
Visita l'isola paradisiaca segreta che la regina Vittoria chiamò casa. Raggiungiamo l'Isola di Wight partendo dalla storica Portsmouth, sede della Royal Navy, e ci godiamo un breve ma piacevole viaggio in campagna prima di arrivare in questa magnifica ma intima dimora. Piena dei migliori tesori che il più grande impero del mondo potrebbe fornire, questa sfarzosa casa all'italiana offre viste sul Solent che il principe Alberto ha paragonato al Golfo di Napoli. Fai delle passeggiate in giardino, tra splendidi alberi secolari fino alla sua spiaggia privata, dove Albert ha costruito ai loro bambini un magico chalet in stile svizzero. Qui possiamo riposarci, pranzare con la macchina da bagno di Victoria mentre osserviamo gli yacht che attraversano il Solent, sede della comunità nautica inglese. Piena di alcune delle sue opere d'arte preferite, la casa è un tesoro dei migliori possedimenti reali. Ammira le sue stanze private, incluso il bagno della regina e il letto in cui morì nel 1901, essendo stata la monarca britannica più longeva.

This was an enjoyable, personalized day trip, with Mark, a very friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide.
A relaxing drive, social interaction of the guide and ability to be comfortable in a 'couple's trip'. Thank you, Mark,
I will admit I was nervous about booking a tour online. Afraid it was all a scam. But all my fears went away the moment Mark Cairns pulled up at exactly the arranged time with a big smile. He put us into a comfortable Mercedes and we made the drive to the ferry and across to the Isle of Wight. He accompanied us through Osbourne House, letting us set the pace and not feel rushed. Though a windy, rainy day, it was a wonderful and interesting day to step back in time and imagine Victoria and Albert walking with the children and enjoying the seaside diversion from London. Mark got us back to our hotel at the appointed time. A great day and a great guide. I’d seek him out again.
Jonathan I have to say I enjoyed the day with you both every bit as much. Your gentle good humour, enthusiasm for the subject and knowledge made the day a delight despite the challenging weather conditions. By all means seek me out again!
The entire day was wonderful. Mark was our tour guide and ended up becoming a friend. He had great knowledge of so many things throughout the day. Osbourne House itself was fascinating and we are so glad we went. Thumbs up to Mark and a wonderful day!!
Thanks Linda, It was a pleasure showing such appreciative guests around such an amazing place :)
Osborne House was on my bucket list. Thanks to our tour and guide, I can check it off. We did not have much time on our vacation so we had to limit it to one day for Osborne House. Thank goodness we got this opportunity. We are also grateful for our guide’s photos and London tips.
Thank you for this. I love taking photos for my guests and indeed I used to be a professional photographer in the music industry. Also the modern camera phones take such great pictures and Osborne is one big photo opportunity after all!
Fascinating insight into Queen Victoria’s life greatly enhanced by the enthusiasm & expert knowledge of the house team. Incredibly welcoming and generous with their insights.
Hi Ninjaree. I'm glad you enjoyed Osborne, I have always found the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Your review has ended up on my tour though it was I that took you. Maybe next time!
A must visit , while you are in holiday on the Isle of Wight, involves a lot of walking but worth it , recommend visiting here 😊
What I expected and a bit more from a formal royal residence. Very grand. Much grander than the other stately homes we've been to. Seemed to be in good condition. Lots of rooms to see with lots of things in them. I especially liked the paintings, particularly ones that showed Victoria and Albert as younger parents with their families. Made a change from the austere later portraits that I'd only known before. Good extensive gardens. Good beach. Nice atmosphere and large shop. We enjoyed our visit.
We travelled from London to the Osborne House with Mark as our tour guide to visit this premier estate. My wife is an avId Queen Victoria fan and this tour was a highlight of our vacation to the UK from the US. The Osborne house is spectacular and the estate and the private beach area was beautiful. As part of the travel, we boarded a ferry for a short boat ride, along with the tour vehicle, to the island. This was an added treat! We found Mark to be a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, and enjoyed the conversations along the way. Would definitely recommend Mark for your next tour
