The medieval Cinque Port of "Rye Royale" is one of the gems in the region. On this tour, you will find yourselves in this wonderful 700-year-old town that has seen it all from invasions to smuggling, flooding and shipwrecks. It is full of fascinating and quirky stories, which we will share with you. We will see the famous Mermaid Inn, whose cellars date from 1156 and which is considered to be one of the oldest public places in the country. If you venture inside, you will see pictures of many famous visitors to the Inn, including actors Johnny Depp, Michael Caine and Judy Dench. Perhaps, you will even spot a ghost or two.
You are most likely to feel like you have stepped back into the past when you visit Rye. And of course, we will sample one of the great British traditions, a homemade English cream tea, at a charming tearoom. You can choose a savoury replacement if you prefer. We hope you will take home some unforgettable memories from your time spent on this tour.
