Superb experience! Our guide and tour manager were perfect. I learned so much about British royalty in a stress free environment. The attractions were wonderful and plenty of time was given to explore on our own. The cruise across the Atlantic was magical. The Queen Mary II is a most beautiful and comfortable ship. The daily lectures from our guide, were always something to look forward to. Highly recommended program!,

If there were a 1-10 rating scale for this tour I would give it a 15. Every aspect of the experience was wonderful, especially our leaders Liz and Nick. Liz was absolute perfection in organizing and attending to every detail. And all was handled with grace and an ever present smile. Her attention to detail was remarkable. At every stop, as well as in every lecture on board, the depth of Nick's knowledge was simply amazing. He presented a non-stop flow of information in an entertaining manner that left us all in a state of disbelief that one person could know that much. It was hard to believe that this was the first time RS offered this program - it ran on clock-work precision blended with perfectly bundled infpormation. Kudos to Liz and Nick!

This trip is fantastic. Our instructor, Nick Salmond, was extremely knowledgeable. He was a terrific speaker, personable, and always available to answer questions. Our group leader, Liz Broomfield, did a wonderful job of keeping everything organized and helping all of us with whatever we needed. Visiting the castles, particularly Kensington Palace and Windsor Castle, brought the history alive. I highly recommend this trip for anyone with some interest in English history.

This was an amazing trip from start to finish. The days in London and Windsor were well-planned and well-paced. The instructor, Nick, was most knowledgeable and brought the various castles, palaces, the Tower and RunnyMeade to life. There was ample opportunity to explore on our own as well, and Liz, our guide, was always able to aim us to various restaurants and sights. The week on the Queen Mary was lovely. Our lectures each morning were most interesting - with humor and insights as well as history and facts. Afternoons at trivia, enjoyable dinners, and fun entertainment filled the days. This was the first time this particular trip was offered by Road Scholar. It was obviously well-thought out and ran smoothly. I was lucky to be a part of it, and I am confident that it will turn into a very popular one as it continues.

Really enjoyed our trip on the Queen Ann 2 from London to New York, but have to say that the highlight was having lectures on Royal History by our very knowledgeable docent, Nick. His depth of information was so enjoyable and fulfilling. We also enjoyed his audio visual support and his sense of humor. We would highly recommend taking this trip for anyone wanting to learn from a credible source. Liz also kept our group on point. We enjoyed meeting folks with a curiosity.
