Testimonials


The HeritageXplore Luxe tour was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we arrived, up until the last stop, everything was expertly planned by Violet and her team. I was able to relax and enjoy the entire time, as they made it so effortless for the guests. I’ve been on many estate tours, but the level of exclusive access through HeritageXplore was unparalleled. Being able to dine with owners of the estates in a black-tie setting in their personal quarters felt like something out of a movie. The food was brilliant, accommodations were luxurious, and transportation with a private car made even the transfer between houses enjoyable. This will definitely not be my last tour with HeritageXplore!
