For many gardening enthusiasts Chelsea is the highlight of the year and the date in late May, has become a fixture on the Ulsterbus Tours calendar. While the show is the main attraction on this tour the supporting cast - the other visits to famous houses and gardens included in the itinerary are what sets Chelsea, with Ulsterbus Tours,

apart from the rest.

As always, we visit Wisley, the Royal Horticultural Societies headquarters and three fabulous gardens each within a short drive from our carefully chosen hotel in the heart of Kent, the Garden of England. We also fit in a little time in Canterbury and an afternoon drive through the Cotswolds.

All hotels are four star with leisure centres including pools and offer dinner, bed & breakfast. The Marriott, Maidstone, is just 30 minutes rom London and surrounded by beautiful countryside with its own Championship Golf Course. It has recently undergone a £4.9 million renovation to the lobby, restaurant, conference rooms, bar and guest rooms.
