The UK is made up of four nations, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Although comprising one country, each has a fierce national identity and a unique history and culture to discover.
These are our most popular package tours to Scotland, departing from Edinburgh. Take in the best of the mainland including Loch Ness, and uncover the secrets of the Scottish Isles, from Orkney to Mull.
From London or Edinburgh, set off to discover the historic and natural highlights of England. From the former capital of Winchester to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, the Roman city of York and the stunning landscapes of the Lake District. Here are some of our most popular England trips.
UK history is as rich as it gets. From the Anglo Saxons to the Vikings, the Romans to the Normans, each has left its mark. Visit Winchester, capital of the Anglo Saxons, or the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon. Discover Belfast's Titanic Quarter or uncover the mysteries of Stonehenge. Discover the spot where hapless King John sealed the Magna Carta or see where Queen Victoria was talking about when she declared "it is harder to imagine a prettier spot". On our United Kingdom tours, history truly comes alive.
There's a surprising natural tapestry to unravel in the UK too. From the bleak North Yorkshire Moors to the peaks of Snowdonia, Orkney, Giant's Causeway and the picturesque Lake District to the southern beaches of Cornwall.
Our United Kingdom tours combine the best of history and nature, with a great mix of included sightseeing, optional activities and free time for you to explore your way. So pack your bags, grab your passport, and join us in one of Europe's most popular travel destinations.

As a general rule, our UK tours cost between £190 (Approx USD $240) to £250 (Approx USD $310) per day. This variance is due to the number of inclusions and transportation - for some tours, we need to book ferries between islands, for example. For this price, you enjoy all of your transportation, accommodation, daily breakfast and guided sightseeing with an expert local guide, plus lots of your entrance fees. A bargain!
This depends on how much of the UK you want to see! Our tours range in length from 2 days to 17. Shorter tours generally take in a specific area, for example the Isle of Wight, Devon and Cornwall or the Lake District. Our longer tours take in more locations, for example all of the Scottish Islands, or longer tours of England from London up to Edinburgh. Get in touch with us today for help finding the right trip!

Our UK tours are quite fast-moving. You will see lots of different places but we often visit two or three destinations (including major cities) in a day, stopping for a few hours at a time in places like Stratford-upon-Avon, Whitby and St Ives. There is plenty of free time in which to further sightsee independently, as well as guided sightseeing.
All of our UK tours include simple but comfortable and welcoming accommodation in guesthouses, on a bed and breakfast basis. These are typically small, family run houses and the group may be split between several accommodation options. They usually offer complimentary Wi-Fi connection but not always. They tend to be on the outskirts of town, perhaps a 20 minute walk from the main attractions. Many of the guesthouses we use offer shared bathroom facilities.
For a small supplement, we can upgrade you to 3-star hotel accommodation. You can see the prices for this upgrade on each of our online tour pages. The hotels are typically in a more central location and offer private, ensuite bathroom facilities.
Although the UK is a year-round destination, the best time to visit is generally the summer months from June - August, which offers the best weather. These months tend to be when the region is at its busiest though, so you may wish to consider visiting during the shoulder seasons. Spring lasts from March - May and autumn is from September - November.
In the UK we travel in 16-seater Mercedes minibuses with comfortable seating, air-conditioning and large windows. There are no toilets on board but regular comfort breaks are made throughout the trip. We also make use of ferries where applicable, and all ferry tickets are included in the cost of your tour.
In the United Kingdom, the maximum group size is 16. On a sold out tour this means that the minibus will be full, but each guest will have plenty of room. If travelling outside of peak seasons, then group sizes may be smaller.
Yes. All of our tours are escorted by a local driver-guide who will keep you entertained with stories and history about the UK. At some attractions you will also enjoy the services of expert local guides. Please note that on some of our longer tours, your guide may change halfway through the trip, as will some members of the group who are only participating in a section of the tour.
According to the 2023 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, the UK scores an A- rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 10th out of 203 countries. Same sex marriage is legal, and there are worker protections in place for people of all sexual orientations. 76 - 100% of consulted citizens consider the UK a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. There are no legal punishments for same sex relations and most trips for LGBTQ+ travellers to the UK are trouble-free. The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travellers to the country.
