D     ownton Abbey has swept the country into a period-piece mania, chronicling the
      highs and lows of the lives of Earl Grantham and his family in a way that has left
millions entranced. The stirring drama, glorious costumes, and stunning scenery, are
matched by fascinating film locations, which form the centre piece of this very special
tour. This ten-day tour is for anyone who’s ever wanted to follow the Downton dream
or better understand the social context of the period. It’s also for everyone who has a
passion for England and Scotland, filled with breathtaking landscapes. This unique tour
gives you access to private sites and locations normally closed to the general public, plus,
you will hear lots of juicy snippets about the actors and the scripts. Our program also
offers the opportunity of attending the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

We invite you to join us on this adventure, it is a truly a trip unlike any other, and it’s sure
to be one you will never forget.
