England, Scotland and Wales Tours & Trips
Have you ever thought about going on a trip where you could visit three different cultures?

Lots of sights to see on this trip. Most of the optional excursions were very good. The tour of Shakespear's birth place was neat - but not impressed with the tea and fingers sandwiches afterwards. The best part was probably Scotland and our group dinner in the Highlands. One suggestion I have is to start and end the tour at some other location than the Novotel in Greenwich. Although it was right next to a train station, it was very difficult to get to and from Heathrow Airport.

This trip was absolutely AMAZING! PROS: Tour guide was phenomenal!! Extremely knowledgeable! I would only asked that she would focus on what is going on on that day! Don’t incorporate the itinitery of future days because it can become very confusion! She was extremely friendly and funny; the driver was great, although he could have SMILED a little more. He was simply laser focus on his job; majority of hotels were in the city center or not very far from public transportation and easy access to places of interest CONS; Lousy food except for street food; mediocre hotels, but I was ok with that; Carrying your own luggage 95% of the trip to include up and down stairs; not enough time in great places such as Tramore, Galway and Liverpool! We could have alleviated other places in order to enjoy more time in other places such as Tramore, Liverpool, Killnary, Galway, etc. One of the most important things lacking on this trip was PERSONAL HYGIENE! People could have used better hygiene when sneezing, coughing and even yearning! Because of this lack of hygiene, people were getting sick like crazy! The tour guides should emphasize the importance of hygience in order for ever to enjoy the trip they paid for! I felt so sorry for the elderly people who struggle due to illness and stayed behind multiple times. Please reinforce good traveling hygiene on a charter bus! A lot of time is spent on the bus, but now I understand why. Overall it allowed us all to get necessary REST due to the time zone difference. Even though I have cons, I rated this trip on the overall picture that was worth my money!

David • traveled in September, 2025
This tour was a fantastic opporunity to see and experience the UK and Ireland. Realizing it was a "highlights" tour, I understood it would sometimes move quickly, and now I have an appetite for a more extensive look at some of the places we saw, particularly Scotland. Our tour director, Selene Tomlinson, was supurb. We encbountered a couple of cancellations and delays for reasons beyond her control, and she was tireless in coming up with alternatives that ensured our opitmum experience.

What Makes Exploring England Scotland and Wales Such an Amazing Adventure?
You know exploring these three countries together is just incredible - you've got such different landscapes and cultural experiences packed into one trip. The thing is you need to plan your time carefully because distances can be tricky. Take the Britain and Ireland Experience tour that's 15 days long where you're enjoying the Dingle Peninsula one day then catching a ferry from Pembroke Wales across to Waterford the next. If you want to make things easier rail travel or guided tours really help with all the logistics.
Which Hidden Gems Should You Check Out That Most Tourists Miss?
Get off the beaten path and discover places like Bladon village in the Cotswolds where Winston Churchill's buried or explore the wild beauty of Snowdonia National Park in Wales. The dramatic landscapes of Glencoe in Scotland are absolutely breathtaking and there's such incredible history there - it's known as the Glen of Weeping because of the tragic MacDonald clan massacre back in 1692.
What's the Best Way to Get Around Using Public Transport?
British Rail connects all the major cities really well like that scenic route from Edinburgh down to York. Coach tours are great if you want everything organized for you and local buses can get you to smaller places. For island hopping there's regular ferries to places like Skye and Anglesey - the Britain and Ireland Delight tour uses the ferry from Holyhead on Anglesey to Dublin. Just think about how much flexibility you want and what works for your budget.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Actually Take Part In?
You can watch master craftsmen at work in the Waterford Crystal Showroom try locally made honey at this amazing Welsh vineyard or join in a proper Scottish ceilidh at a local pub or community hall. These experiences really let you connect with local culture - like on the Britain and Ireland Highlights tour where you spend time with the Norris family at their sustainable vineyard in Wales seeing how they make their products.
