Highlights
  • Glastonbury Abbey - the site of the Wattle Church in the centre of the Glastonbury Abbey. The Wattle Church is England’s first ever building for Christian worship, built by Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea in 62AD. A few steps away we find the last resting place of King Arthur and Gwynevere and find out why it is there and how they are linked to the family of Christ.
  • Chalice Well - After lunch we go on our quest for the Holy Grail, said to be buried under the Chalice Well. Find out why these waters in this tranquil garden are said to be healing by drinking them yourself. Balance the red waters, the female energies of the Chalice Well, with the waters of the White Spring, the male energies, which is very close by, in a beautiful candle-lit water temple (you may find a naked bather or two, so please let us know if you would prefer to not witness this.)
  • Glastonbury Tor - We leave the best for last, a climb to the top of the Glastonbury Tor. Witness the amazing energies of the Tor, find out why these hills are called sleeping dragons and look out over the sacred landscape all the way to Wales.
  • White Spring Well & Temple - we go on our quest for the Holy Grail, said to be buried under the Chalice Well. Find out why these waters in this tranquil garden are said to be healing by drinking them yourself. Balance the red waters, the female energies of the Chalice Well, with the waters of the White Spring, the male energies, which is very close by, in a beautiful candle-lit water temple (you may find a naked bather or two, so please let us know if you would prefer to not witness this.)
  • St. Margaret’s Chapel & Magdalene Almshouses - the hidden chapel of St Margret

Top Guide to Glastonbury - Tor is the perfect guide for an immersing experience in the Heart of Glastonbury. He not only displays a vast knowledge of the history of the town, but he also has a deep understanding of the spirit of it. Great sense of humour, too! Just loved it.

Best spiritual guide in Glastonbury - This is the second year that life has given me this wonderful trip to Glastonbury, I met the Guardian of the great Tower, the protector of the Dragon Father and Mother. I saw how he manages to enter and exit...clean, connect and illuminate the cords of the Sacred Pachamama. A man with wisdom and such a big heart but with the simplicity, humility and patience of those that there are few...thank you TOR, the best spiritual guide in Glastonbury! ~This is the second year that life is gifted me a wonderful trip to Glastonbury. I met the Thor Tower Guardian, the protector of the dragon. I witnessed how he can enter, clean, connect and illuminate the Pachamama's sacred chains. He is a man with knowledge and a big heart but with the humbleness and patient not many have anymore....thank you TOR, the best spiritual guide in Glastonbury! ~

Relaxing and informative tour! Tor is great. - A very relaxing and low-stress tour with lots of storytelling and explanations of the history of the area, without it being overload. I went solo and met wonderful people on the tour. Highly recommend.

So knowledgeable, filling in many blanks after going to the site alone. - I appreciated Tor's extensive knowledge, and easy going manner. I loved it when he surprised us with a short flute song while in the Abbot's kitchen. Be ready for a faster paced walk, though he kindly waits for all before sharing information. I'm also grateful for the book he recommended on the history of Glastonbury when I inquired. Thanks again, Tor! You were great!

I would travel with Tor again! - A very enjoyable day. Tor was very generous in giving information. The day was packed with wonderfully activities but remain relaxed so you could fully enjoy each site.

Spiritually delightful! - This was an excellent day! Tor was full of spiritual and historical knowledge. I learned so much about Glastonbury and fell deeper in love with this magical land. Well worth the time and cost. Thank you for a great day!!

Disappointing lack of communication - Multiple messages went unanswered, so we did not get to take the much anticipated Tot tour. Tried the Legend London tour with same outfit but again message went unanswered. Disappointing. Not confident to book multiple day tours with them.. Will update if we hear back from the operator.
