About the tour
The Channel Islands are scattered between England's south coast and France, and boast some of the most beautiful beaches in the British Isles. We discover the history and scenery of the main islands, Guernsey and Jersey, with local guides, visit the Jersey War Tunnels, and secluded Castle Cornet.
Experience the scenic bays of Jersey, including famous viewpoints that inspired Renoir, and explore Sark's untouched coastline with plenty of time to discover the islands for yourself. These unspoilt isles may be close to mainland Britain, but they feel like they're a world away.

Itinerary
Meeting at Southampton airport, we begin our holiday with an early morning flight to Jersey. The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey is surrounded by blue waters and fringed with pristine, golden beaches - the island has a long and rich history.
On arrival, we're introduced to some of the highlights of Jersey. Besides seeing some of the stunning bays, we also stop at the iconic La Corbière Lighthouse and visit the Grève de Lecq and Gorey Harbour, with its beautiful pier, where you can soak up views of Mont Orgueil Castle. We take a break during our tour to enjoy Jersey's best-known ritual, an elegant cream tea experience, at a local hotel. Later, we check into our hotel in St Helier, Jersey's capital, moments away from a lovely beach, and dine at our hotel.

Excellent hotel in Guernsey, staff, food, accommodation, but just a little out of town. The hotel in Jersey was well-serviced with very polite and efficient staff but was unbelievably busy and noisy in the dining area - 600 breakfasts were served and it was a queuing system Also a little out of the way of the town centre. Sharon, the guide, was excellent and went out of her way to make the tour as pleasant as possible for everyone.

Great tour loved the German occupation museum in Guernsey and hotel great in Guernsey. The hotel in Jersey was very busy with self service which could have been improved but really enjoyed the holiday and our tour manager Sharon was great.

Really enjoyed the Island Tours especially the Jersey one. Hotel location in Jersey opposite the Bus Station perfect. Cream Tea in Jersey to die for. Highlight for was me was probably Sark and finding the special Gold Post Box awarded to Carl Hester the Olympic Equestrian. A very enjoyable holiday.

A excellent holiday but spoilt by the distance from a major centre of the hotels.The hotel in Guernsey was excellent with good food and attentive staff. Sark was a step back in time which most of the group remembers. The excursions were excellent and well rounded. Jersey was a bit of a shock to the system having been spoilt in earlier hotel on Guernsey, we had not expected a large resort type hotel on the style of Butlins or Warners which was once again a long walk or a bus ride to the capital. Travel to and fro from the Cannel Islands was excellent and well organised. The excursions were well organised and interesting. Derek our tour manager was excellant, nothing too much trouble. If he keeps this up he will very soon have his own fan club and followers who will follow him. The only thing that let this holiday down was the failure of the GRJ staff to appreciate the average age of the group with the selection of hotels.

It was a really great tour with a friendly group, a superb hotel in Guernsey with excellent meals and all led by our 100% excellent Tour Manager Derek who could n’t have done more for the group. Local guide in Jersey was spot-on too! My first trip to the Channel Islands and highly recommend it! Kevin M.
