Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Visite o Poço Sagrado em St Albans. Visitadas pelo próprio mártir e se isso não bastasse, essas águas revitalizaram um idoso e doente Uther Pendragon antes de uma batalha. Se você não conhece Uther, talvez conheça seu filho, o lendário Rei Arthur.
Este belo parque antigo na verdade fica no topo da antiga cidade romana, com a cidade 'moderna' sentada na colina. Seções impressionantes da antiga muralha da cidade romana ainda podem ser vistas.
Veja algumas das muralhas romanas sobreviventes.
Veja um dos melhores pisos de mosaico romano da Grã-Bretanha, na verdade, de qualquer lugar!
Esta bela e antiga igreja tem 1.000 anos e é de origem anglo-saxônica. Ainda usado hoje e cheio de história e caráter.
Explore as ruínas do antigo teatro romano e lojas.
Este museu está repleto de objetos romanos descobertos no parque e na cidade ao redor.
Um candidato ao título de mais antigo da Grã-Bretanha, que de uma forma ou de outra tem servido a patronos e peregrinos não muito depois dos romanos.
Esta imponente portaria antiga tem uma história impressionante e é uma das joias escondidas desta grande cidade antiga.
Aprenda a história do nosso primeiro mártir cristão dos tempos romanos e explore uma das melhores catedrais da Europa, que já foi um ponto de peregrinação e uma importante abadia até os tempos do rei Henrique VIII.
Veja este pedaço de história viva dos campos de batalha da Primeira Guerra Mundial.
O mercado não funciona todos os dias, mas mesmo quando acontece, há muito para ver aqui.
Situado em uma das extremidades do histórico Mercado de St. Albans, esta torre foi construída em 1403 e é o único campanário independente da Grã-Bretanha.
Aproveite o vibrante centro da cidade de St Albans com seus antigos pubs crepieries, mercado movimentado, lojas sofisticadas e vibrações descontraídas. A cerca de 20 minutos de trem de Londres, mas a um mundo de distância. Esta é a verdadeira Inglaterra que nós, moradores, tanto gostamos.

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.
