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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
