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.

Rite of passage - If you are drawn to the ancient mysteries and spiritual heart of England, a day with Tor on "The Quest" walking tour in Glastonbury is nothing short of a rite of passage.
Glastonbury, often called the Isle of Avalon, is a place steeped in legend, myth, and spiritual significance, and Tor’s tour brings these stories vividly by the end of which you feel more part of the land and it's myth.
Tor shares his wealth of knowledge without imposing beliefs, inviting questions and encouraging personal reflection at every stop.
The walk is well-paced, never rushed, allowing time for both contemplation and conversation as you move through the sacred sites.
My personal favourite was visiting the Holy Thorn of Joseph of Arimithea and the Dragon's Egg (finally).
Some of the places I had visited many times before have become further enriched thanks to this tour.

Brilliant tour of Glastonbury - Tor is a terrific guide. We loved our tour of Glastonbury, and Tor had such great insights and stories each step of the way. And his dogs are lovely!

Wonderful tour by Tor! - Wonderful tour--included the expected sies like the Abbey, Tor, and Chalice Well, but also less expected ones that were a real treat. Tor was a wonderful guide--he gave us all a great experience!

Great tour of Glastonbury - The tourguide (Michael) was great, told us a lot about all things about Glastonbury. Showed us old pictures and lots of personal touches. Stories about his great great great grandpa. It was not at all too much walking, but the Tor was a bit much for me.

Great tours in Glastonbury - I did the Full Day Glastonbury Tour and then the Full Day Stonehenge/Avebury Tour and thoroughly enjoyed both.
I was briefly disappointed when another guide instead of Tor arrived, however Michael was fantastic and full of wisdom.
I ended up being the only person on both tours however Michael made me feel very comfortable and at ease like travelling with an old friend rather than someone I’d never met before. I will definitely be back to do the Cornwall tour in the future.

Great tour of the highlights of Glastenbury - Great tour. Tor really knew his history and places of interest to show us. Would have loved to know more about the significant trees in the Challice well gardens.

Tor was excellent but the... - Tor was excellent but the walking tour up the hill at around 80-85 degrees weather is a killer. He needs to drive people up the first hill. Yes there is another step much difficult hill.

Not worth the money - A whole lot of crazy coming out of the guide. Bear in mind this was a substitute to Tor…
Heard too much about ufos and didn’t know enough history or explanation of most about anything.
Poor time management and also imposing guide.

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.
