PACKAGED ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival This morning, we make our way to Poole ferry terminal and take the fast ferry to Guernsey, where we transfer by coach to our hotel. Day 2 Scenic Sark After breakfast this morning, we take the ferry to the second smallest of the Channel Islands, Sark. With no cars on Sark, we will be met at the harbour by a horse-drawn carriage complete with an experienced local carriage driver. Settle aboard this vintage form of transport and enjoy a memorable 1-hour tour of the island. Follow quaint rural lanes, peek into private gardens, soak up the tranquil atmosphere, and take in sea views that stretch to the shores of mainland France, all as a driver offers insight into Sark’s history and customs, and answers any questions you might have. After disembarking, we return to Guernsey by ferry and enjoy the rest of the day to spend at our leisure. Day 3 Guernsey Island Tour This morning, we board our coach for a half-day guided tour of Guernsey. Along the way, we call at The Little Chapel, possibly the world’s smallest chapel. Originally created in 1914 as a miniature version of the famous grotto and basilica at Lourdes, this tiny landmark is magical for its mosaics: its interior and exterior are coated in seashells, pebbles, and broken china. We also visit the German-built Pleinmont Point naval observation tower. We then head to Sausmarez Manor and Gardens, for a guided tour of the American-styled colonial house, home to the Sausmarez family.
