The Specialities of Plantagenet Discoveries

Plantagenet Discoveries fills a unique niche in the travel industry, catering to those passionate about history, who yearn to delve deeper into the enthralling era of the Plantagenet kings and queens.

Maxine's vision stemmed from her own desire for a tour that encompassed the historical, and cultural nuances of this pivotal period.

Unable to find a suitable option that satisfied her needs, she embarked on a journey to create her own, and Plantagenet Discoveries was born.
