Passionate about sharing the wonders of UK and European travel through expert education
Founded in 2010 by a team of passionate travel educators and historians, Greystone Journey was born from a simple belief: that understanding the history, culture, and hidden stories of a destination transforms travel from mere sightseeing into profound personal discovery.
What started as weekend workshops in a small London classroom has evolved into comprehensive online and in-person courses reaching students across the globe. Our founders, Dr. Margaret Whitfield and Professor James Morrison, combined their decades of academic expertise with practical travel experience to create unique educational programs.
Today, Greystone Journey is recognized as the leading provider of UK and European travel education, helping thousands of travelers discover the deeper meanings behind Europe's most celebrated and hidden destinations.
We believe that knowledge enhances every travel experience. Our courses are meticulously researched and presented by qualified experts in history, culture, and geography.
We foster deep respect and understanding for the diverse cultures, traditions, and communities that make UK and Europe so remarkable.
We promote responsible travel practices that preserve destinations for future generations while supporting local communities.
Travel education doesn't end with our courses. We encourage continuous discovery and provide ongoing resources for our alumni.
