‘An unforgettable experience’
Posted 11th August 2026 in Blog |
A journey to visit a place like Highgrove Gardens at the King’s private residence is always going to be memorable.
For Karen Woodwock the experience was that and then some – thanks to the ‘perfectly planned’ trip from Wisteria Tours.
Karen, director of All About Newport, went off on the royal trip with sisters Sue and Jacky Burnell, who run Wisteria alongside their mother Jackie.
They specialise in tailor-made tours and short breaks that cater for everyone and put a big emphasis on the personal touch – something which certainly rubbed off on Karen and the rest of those heading to Gloucestershire.
Customers have described the experience as a ‘special day out’, and Karen has explained how from the very start, Wisteria had it absolutely spot on.
“There is a distinct joy in a perfectly planned day trip – one where your only responsibility is to show up, relax and enjoy the experience. That is precisely the philosophy behind Wisteria Tours, a coach company that has mastered the art of seamless, memorable travel.”
From pick up to arrival, Karen explained how every detail was organised to ‘perfection’, allowing those attending to immerse themselves in the day.
Day trippers were able to explore the gardens at their own pace, taking everything in before enjoying a meal together as part of the package.
Wisteria offer short and longer day trips across the UK, as well as short breaks to places in Europe and the Channel Islands.
Karen insists it isn’t just about the destinations with Wisteria but the journey too.
“What truly sets Wisteria Tours apart isn’t just the spectacular destinations – it is the people who take you there.”
