Rye private tours

The charming town of Rye belongs to the Cinque Ports, a historic series of coastal towns in Southeast England. At first glance, the romantic medieval village seems frozen in time; a closer look reveals a thoroughly modern populace and lively cultural scene set amidst the historic backdrop. Meet up with a friendly local guide and learn more about this ancient town on a private Rye tour. Rye is perched on top a rocky outcrop overlooking the North Sea. Walking around the cobbled streets of the Citadel, you can see the remains of the town's 12th century defences, and the Church of Saint Mary. Climb up the Church Tower for panoramic views of the town and sheep-speckled countryside below. Be sure to walk up the steep stone cobbles of Mermaid Street, with its 15th century timber-framed houses and England's oldest inn. Along the way, peak into the contemporary art galleries tucked inside medieval buildings. Enjoy seeing a living piece of British history on your private Rye tour.
