Your Templar Tour Itinerary

Day 1-Saturday, September 13: Arrive London: Evening Thames Welcome dinner cruise (D)
Arrival in London and transfer on our own to our reserved hotels accommodations.  Time to relax a bit before we will be transferred to the pier for our “Welcome to London” evening dinner cruise on the Thames River. As we step on board our floating River Restaurant, we start to sail gliding on the River as London’s landmarks are even more impressive at night. With their bright lights and dreamlike quality, the ever-changing backdrop is simply mesmerizing as we sail under Tower Bridge, down towards the Thames Barrier and past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Dinner is served and a live band sets the mood with gentle background music. After disembarking, we return to our hotel by coach.

Day 2- Sunday, September 14: In London:  Panoramic City Tour including Temple Church, Tower of London and V&A Museum (and a secret revealed) (B)
After breakfast, we have a panoramic tour morning to experience London’s West End, including a look at Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Square plus The Round Churches of the Templars beacons! Temple Church London was the Headquarters for the Knights Templar in England, featuring Templar effigies. We end our tour with a Special Surprise that Gretchen will tell you about during the tour. Return to our hotel, and an evening free for independent exploration and maybe taking in a play at one of London’s exciting theaters.

Day 3-Monday, September 15: In London: Visit to Westminster Abbey – Royston Cave – Cambridge Round Church (B/L)
We start our touring with a guided tour of the medieval Westminster Abbey, the epic architectural masterpiece and backdrop of British royal events. Then a coach ride outside of London sits the enigmatic Royston Cave. Gretchen will guide you through her research as presented on The Curse of Oak Island, Season 10 with Marty and Alex Lagina, and Charles Barkhouse. We’ll travel on to the Cambridge Round Church, built by a mysterious knightly order who vanished after its creation. Cambridge is one of the most beautiful and historic English university cities. We have lunch during our tour before we return to our hotel in the late afternoon to enjoy London on our own.

Day 4-Tuesday, September 16: To Old Sarum, Stonehenge & Glastonbury (B/L/D)
Onto Old Sarum, where we climb the mighty ramparts for views over the Wiltshire plains and imagine the once thriving town of Old Sarum. Stand in the footprint of Salisbury’s original cathedral, conquer the royal castle which stood high on the motte, and discover the awe-inspiring Iron Age hill fort where it all began. Unearth over 2,000 years of history and find out how the Romans, Normans and Saxons have all left their mark on this impressive landscape. After lunch, we continue to the great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world. Visit the Neolithic stones that have stood on the Salisbury Plains for around 5,000 years and discover the fascinating theories surrounding this prehistoric monument. Attempt to piece together how, who and why they came to rest there — it promises to be an unforgettable experience. We end our day in the Glastonbury area for dinner and our overnight.

Day 5-Wednesday, September 17: In the Glastonbury Region (B/D)
Today we visit the World Heritage Site and sacred landscape of Avebury, the perfect place for a brief ceremony to celebrate the start of our journey together. The henge, the largest stone circle in the world, has an imposing bank and ditch, and inner stone circles. We also view the largest artificial structure in Europe – the enigmatic Silbury Hill. Overnight: in or near Glastonbury.

Day 6– Thursday, September 18: In the Glastonbury Region (B/D)
We spend the day in Glastonbury, the Ancient Isle of Avalon with its intriguing blend of Christianity, Druidry and Arthurian legend. According to tradition, Joseph of Arimathea arrived with his 12 companions in AD37, bringing the Chalice of the Last Supper or the Holy Grail. We visit the beautiful gardens of Chalice Well and drink deep of the well’s healing waters. Here is the legendary burial place of the Holy Grail. We climb the magnificent Tor hill with its three-dimensional labyrinth. In this landscape, the veil between the worlds is thin and we tune into its special energy through Tarot and meditation. Overnight in or near Glastonbury.

Day 7-Friday, September 19: In the Glastonbury Region (B/D)
This morning we visit the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey – the “Holiest Earthe of England.” The Abbey is said to be King Arthur’s final resting place and a stone in his honor, has been laid in the grounds.
