Alexandra's description of her unique background and expertise in travel and designing luxury travel follows:

I traveled as a member of the Royal Household of Her Majesty The Queen and have continued my associations with many of the people and locations that I visited on official business over the years. Adding to that, are my own enjoyment of fine living and interesting locations and our joint love of history, architecture, culture and heritage, which me to form a mix of stunning locations and welcoming hosts that treat me and our guests as respected 'friends' or 'family'.

In creating my unique style of travel, I took the idea of The Grand Tour, but expanded it to vacations for their own sake, in fine surroundings - or vacations with learning experiences for garden design, fine art or antiques appreciation, to delve into history and heritage or experience gourmet preparation and dining with fine wines.

The point of what is unique about my travels is that I am really offering 'privileged access to the inaccessible'. For example, Penelope Hobhouse opens her kitchen to me, where she discusses her own garden patio plants with my guests. (How could this possibly be done in a traditional class?) Or I will take you on a tour around a Royal Palace and tell stories of a banquet or of The Queen speaking to the florists about decorating a room. Perhaps this, and samples of some of my travel programs on my web site (www.theenglishmanner.com) will give you an indication of the unusual credentials that I bring to the design of incomparapable travel experiences in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales) and Ireland.

I hope you will join us soon.
