For 2027, G&T Garden Tours offers four small-group luxury garden tours in May and June – three in West Dorset and Somerset, one in the Cotswolds. Each is a six-night country house week for around 14 guests, with private garden visits, delicious food and convivial hosts, Jason Goodwin and Simon Tiffin.
Prices start at £5,450 per person (approximately US$7,200), all-inclusive: accommodation, breakfasts, lunches at our favourite local restaurants, teas, dinners by our own chefs, drinks, garden visits and transport during the tour.
