Lucas & Randall (800-505-2505)and Expo Garden Tours (800-448-2685) are US companies that offer garden tours to those countries. You might try to search the web through www.dogpile.com or www.google.com and find a garden tour company in the country you wish to visit. That has worked well for me in finding UK garden tour companies.

Contact Coopersmith's (they're on the Web at www.coopersmiths.com). They do garden-focused tours in Great Britain, Belgium, France, Italy, New Zealand and South Africa. Excellent accomodations (high end) and knowledgeable guides.

I took one of the American Horticulture Garden Tours to England. It was fabulous, and many of the people had been on AH tours before - always an excellent recommendation.

I haven't scanned in photos from all the gardens yet, but you can see some of them on my website.

I just remembered where I finally found lots of garden travel information - the 'better' garden magazines, especially the English ones. Try a bookstore like Borders and pick up an issue. There will be lots of ads with websites.
