If you’ve never been to Bedfordshire before, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start when exploring, which is why joining a professional tour or sightseeing trip is an excellent way to get familiar with the region and you can learn more about the fascinating landmarks along the way.
Bedfordshire is full of historical sites, gorgeous countryside and quaint market towns with their own charm and interesting places to visit, with such a diverse landscape you don’t want to risk missing any of it!
Tours will really give you the edge, helping you get to know your way around and learn from people who are experts in the buildings and areas you’re visiting. If the idea of following someone around for an hour or two doesn’t sound like your thing, why not book onto a themed tour? Themed tours are really gaining in popularity and cover everything from sites that are allegedly haunted, history tours, bat tours, comedy tours and more. With the extensive history that can be found across Bedfordshire and the expanse of countryside waiting to be explored, you’ll find plenty of interesting tours that will take you to some unique destinations you won’t get to visit any other way.
Many sightseeing tours offer options, depending on what kind of experience you want to have, perhaps you want someone to point you in the right direction and then the chance to explore at your own pace, or perhaps you want something more involved, like a sightseeing bus tour or an organised walking tour with a strict itinerary so you can time how long you’ll be and make plans around it. You’ll find a good mix of tours in the county using a variety of transport options and different levels of guidance. Tours often also come with audio guides to help those who are hard of hearing or not native English speakers.
Tours aren’t limited to being on foot or on the roads either, these days tours take place all over, including the waterways or the skies with a gliding experience.
