My partner and I live busy lives in central London and coming across Surrey Escapes has encouraged us to try something new and get out of the hustle and bustle for a day. It felt such a privilege to have a private guide just for us without having to plan a thing! We just booked our own train and accommodation that Petra recommended, and the rest was in her hands. For us as a couple it was a perfect getaway in such a romantic part of England.
- Rebecka, manager at Chiltern Firehouse Hotel, London
What a fantastic trip! Petra has a wealth of knowledge of Denbies wine estate and the surrounding area. She certainly knows a lot and she is such a fun company too, considering I was traveling solo, I felt very comfortable. Beautiful scenery and a wonderful wine! Just perfect.
- Helen, IT working professional in London
Surrey Escapes is one of the best tour companies I have been to in all my years of travelling to the UK. Travelling to Arundel Castle and the neighbouring sites were a wonder to experience. Petra was the epitome of professionalism, hospitality, and knowledge.
- Escalante Lundy, New Orleans based actor
Petra’s local knowledge blew us away. She was able to tailor our experience perfectly, uncovering hidden gems we simply wouldn’t have found on our own.

Petra really made our day out in Surrey something to remember, she was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Meet Petra

Hello, I'm Petra Kol, co-founder of Surrey Escapes. Originating from the picturesque south Bohemia in the Czech Republic, I've always been captivated by the beauty of nature, tradition, and history. Throughout my extensive travels and solo adventures in various countries, I've amassed a wealth of life-changing experiences.

A few years ago, I finally settled in the scenic county of Surrey, England. Surrounded by rolling hills, meandering rivers, enchanting vineyards, and picture-perfect villages, I felt as if I were on a perpetual holiday. It was in this moment that my passion for exploring the local treasures was ignited. I became deeply committed to sharing the beauty of this place with others, and thus, Surrey Escapes came to life.

Our mission is to provide you with an exceptional and personalized experience through our day trips outside of London. We invite you to escape the hustle and bustle, bask in the glamour and style, and immerse yourself in the captivating wonders that Surrey has to offer.
