Magical Tour ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We weren’t really sure what to expect. Matt was amazing. So knowledgeable about trees and nature. The tour runs very smoothly and is so enjoyable. Perfect combination of a walk in nature with lots of fascinating facts at the same time. The poetry and the song in front of a magnificent tree were also highlights of a wonderful experience. Don’t hesitate to book this if visiting Glastonbury. Thanks Matt. Richard and Tracey

Splendid afternoon in the surroundings of Glastonbury, with Matt as our most friendly host. Matt tells you about the trees, the nature and history of the area in a most pleasant way. He really took his time for us and we appreciated every step of the journey. Hans V.
