"Glastonbury has so many layers of geological and spiritual history, regardless of what you do (or don't) believe. Daniel's knowledge of the Abbey, the Chalice Well, the Tor, and the town are impressive, and fun too! He adjusted our destinations to my slower pace, and we had many cheery and thoughtful conversations throughout the afternoon. I cannot say enough good things about Daniel. It felt like visiting a very special place not with a guide but with a new friend! Thank you so much for making this experience even better than I hoped!"

TOUR DESCRIPTION
I will collect you and drive you to Glastonbury approximately 1 hour from Bath. Walking through the centre of Glastonbury I will show you the Glastonbury Thorn and explain about its interesting legend.
We will visit the picturesque ruins and gardens of Glastonbury Abbey. The abbey claimed it was built on the site of the earliest Christian monastic site in Britain and went on to become one of the wealthiest abbeys in the country. Monks found, what they claimed to be, the grave of King Arthur and Guinevere in the grounds of the abbey. During the Medieval Times the abbey was a popular pilgrimage destination as people came to see the grave and the many holy relics of saints that were kept at the abbey.
After visiting the abbey you will have some free time to visit the shops in Glastonbury. We will then head to the Chalice Well where you will have an unaccompanied visit inside. Nearby I will also show you the location of the White and Red Springs which are said to have healing properties.
We will climb to the Tor. The Glastonbury Tor is one of the most famous landmarks in the region and like the abbey it is steeped in legends. The walk from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill where the Tor is located takes approximately 20 minutes depending on your fitness. There are around 260 steps and so it is not suitable for those with mobility difficulties. From the top you will be rewarded with panoramic views and I will explain about the legends behind the Tor.
After the tour I will drive you back to Bath, arriving around 7pm depending on traffic.
