Review
"David Phillips was spectacular. He is highly knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects. He was patient and treated the members of the tour as adults despite several members being very elderly with physical challenges. He was well organized and on top of all the arrangements. I would recommend him highly to anyone. The houses were well selected to represent a good range of architectural styles, which was important to us. The pace was great, we did not feel rushed anywhere. Further, the gardens of all these homes were a great treat."- Edward & Monica C., 2018 tour
