Magical Tour - We weren't really sure what to expect. Matt was amazing. So knowledgeable about trees and nature. The tour runs very smoothly and is so enjoyable. Perfect combination of a walk in nature with lots of fascinating facts at the same time. The poetry and the song in front of a magnificent tree were also highlights of a wonderful experience. Don't hesitate to book this if visiting Glastonbury. Thanks Matt. Richard and Tracey

A magical, thought provoking and unique experience. - I had a beautiful and enlightening walk with Matt. A wonderful creative and personable individual, who opened my mind in new ways to the personality of trees., as well as intriguing facts and possibilities regarding the history of the area. The tour personally adapted to my slower walking pace, was sprinkled with Matt’s enchanting poetry, prose and music. He kindly allowed me to include my own music and voice. A unique and magical experience.
