Jersey Heritage Holidays
Jersey Heritage Holidays offers guided tours for those who want to get under the skin of Jersey and to understand more fully what makes this island such a special place.
The concept is to allow interested visitors to discover something of the real Jersey. These tours will not simply take in visits to well-known attractions … there will always be a surprise round the corner, something special not available to other tourists.
Jersey, the most southerly of the British Channel Islands,
is well-known for its superb beaches and scenery, its
beautiful breed of cattle and the Jersey Royal potato, but very few people realise what a depth of history and culture there is to explore in its 45 square miles.
Some ideas of the kind of holiday we offer can be found under 'Itineraries' but we are able to create programmes of any length and on any subject that you may wish. For example, itineraries for Conference delegages and partners is a speciality. One thing is constant - and that is the quality of what we offer.
What others say about Jersey Heritage Holidays
From Jenny and Ken Good on the VIP Liberation Tour 2009:
We have just emailed the Britain at War magazine to tell them about the amazing time we had with you all in Jersey. Thank you so much for looking after us so well, and making the trip so memorable. Will you convey our thanks to Chris at the War Tunnels, Paul at Noirmont, Gerry for giving us the pleasure of travelling in his beautiful coach, David Gainsborough Roberts for allowing us to see and handle the third Reich memorabilia, Bob Le Sueur, and Maggie who delighted us with her stories about the making of those beautiful tapestries. Everyone we met made us feel so welcome, and it was an honour and a privilege to be part of the celebrations.
From Eric Gilham on the Private Gardens of Jersey, June 2008.
We found the range of gardens interesting and varied and the experience was certainly enhanced by Denis' knowledge of each of the gardens and the planting and your own knowledge of the history of the island and its people. We can certainly recommend your tour.
From David Heath on the Private Gardens of Jersey, June 2008:
You had chosen gardens all of which had interesting features and wonderful plants and design but which were different in important respects. Each however was a little oasis of tranquility - so pleasant after the bustle of the southeast of England.
From Helen Masterson, on the World War II break in September 2007:
The whole trip suited me down to the ground. I enjoy finding out about things, but also having the opportunity to explore a bit on my own, and the visit gave me the chance to do both.
From John Cabot from Massachusetts, USA, who in 2007 organised a family reunion in Jersey involving 55 visitors from America, Europe and elsewhere. He was persuaded that he needed a local event planner:
Our choice for this role was Beth Lloyd of Jersey Heritage Holidays, who had been recommended highly. Her advice was sound, her arrangements for meals, transportation and visitor packets worked flawlessly, and her coordination with the other organizations involved was diplomatic and effective. We benefitted greatly from her willingness and capacity to help in the project, and also from her knowledge of Jersey’s sites and facilities and of the Jersey community. We were well pleased, and the reunion was a great success.
David de Carteret, Director of Tourism and Marketing:
Jersey 's heritage consistently ranks at the top of any surveys which are carried out among Jersey's visitors who are fascinated by all of the aspects which make Jersey so special and different from other places. Having the provision of a more personal service for those clients seeking an in depth knowledge will add significantly to our product range and should prove very popular with our more discerning clients.
