Loved every minute of the tour
- Best of Britain (14 Days)
This was our second trip with Trafalgar. We enjoyed it as much as the first one. It was relaxing to know we didn't have to worry about transportation, accommodations, or tickets/passes to the sites. The tour director was knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend your tours.

Take in the picturesque landscapes and remarkable sights on a guided Coach / Bus adventure of England And Wales. There are 34 vacation packages to choose from, that range in length from 3 days up to 15 days. The most popular month for these tours is May.
See all Coach / Bus toursOur explorer tours really get to the heart of Britain, starting right in London before heading to Oxford where you can glide past college gardens on traditional punts. Cardiff's a highlight for many of our guests - especially Doctor Who fans who love tracking down filming spots before we head into Snowdonia's wild landscapes. Up in the Lake District, you'll walk where Wordsworth once stepped and take a cruise on Lake Windermere; many travelers say this part stays with them. The Edinburgh portion takes you through the winding streets of the Old Town that gave J.K. Rowling her Harry Potter inspiration, and you can climb Arthur's Seat for some fantastic city views. Our customers often tell us they love how these tours mix the famous spots with local secrets they'd never find on their own.

Our 3-day tours through Wales and southern England make every moment count. From Bristol, you'll head to St Davids - Britain's smallest city - where the 12th-century cathedral stands proud against the coastline. The route winds along Pembrokeshire to the lovely seaside town of Tenby. If you're starting in Manchester, we'll take you through Snowdonia National Park and also Portmeirion, an Italian-style village that our guests keep raving about. North Wales tours include stops at Conwy Castle and the South Stack Lighthouse on Anglesey Island. The evenings are special - our travelers often tell us how much they love joining male choir rehearsals and trying local dishes in traditional pubs.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Bristol, Tintern, Ross-on-Wye, Broadway, Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Campden, Bourton-on-the-Water, Oxford
Seven days gives you time to properly discover Britain. The journey from London takes you west through the Cotswolds villages and into Wales, where Cardiff shows two sides: its magnificent castle and the modern Bay area that's transformed from industrial port to cultural center. Moving north, you'll follow routes through Snowdonia's peaks and along the Dee Valley, where canal boat rides turn out to be unexpected favorites among our guests. There's proper time set aside for Liverpool, which music fans love for its Beatles heritage, before heading to the Lake District to walk Wordsworth's favorite paths around Grasmere. Most tours wrap up in Edinburgh, where you can explore the medieval Royal Mile, cobbled alleys and also the elegant Georgian New Town at your own pace.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
London, Winchester, Salisbury, Bournemouth, Southampton, Exeter, Torquay, Dartmoor National Park, Cardiff, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Bristol, Bath
See all toursOur 10-day Britain tours really let you settle into the journey's rhythm. The most popular routes start in Edinburgh, taking in York's medieval streets and Chester's Roman walls before exploring Wales' dramatic castles. Our travelers particularly value the mix of city and countryside - you might be watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace one day and walking Hadrian's Wall the next. These longer tours include special experiences like afternoon tea at Cotswold manor houses and also hands-on visits to traditional sheep farms in the Highlands. Many guests mention how much they enjoy the overnight stays in 13th-century castles, complete with moats and medieval banquets. The pace works well for people who want to see a lot but still have time to wander through places like Stratford-upon-Avon or Bath at their own speed.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Edinburgh, York, Chester, Conwy, Anglesey, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, London
Demographics
For solo travelers exploring Britain, we've found the 8-day London to Edinburgh route works particularly well - the small group size lets you really get to know your fellow travelers while discovering Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and crossing Ironbridge Gorge, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Our customers love how the itinerary balances structured activities with free time to wander. The 5-day Welsh tours starting from London give you a perfect taste of Wales, taking in Hay-on-Wye's famous bookshops and the wild beauty of Snowdonia. Our travelers consistently tell us they appreciate having expert guides who make everyone feel included, plus well-located accommodations that put you right in the heart of places like Aberystwyth and Tenby.
Couples tend to gravitate toward our comprehensive 14-day Britain tours that let you travel at a relaxed pace. You'll explore the Lake District that inspired Wordsworth, visit working farms in Somerset for home-cooked meals and take in Edinburgh during the famous Military Tattoo festival. The routes include plenty of romantic spots - from punting on the River Cam to wandering through the Cotswolds' honey-colored villages. Our travelers particularly value the mix of guided tours and free evenings to enjoy dinner together in historic pubs. The well-planned itineraries mean you're not constantly packing and unpacking, with multi-night stays in places like York and Edinburgh giving you time to really settle in.
Our senior travelers consistently rate the 9-day and 14-day Britain tours highly, telling us they appreciate the thoughtful pacing and comfortable coaches. These tours include porter service at hotels and plenty of time to explore sites like York Minster and Edinburgh Castle without feeling rushed. The itineraries balance cultural highlights with natural beauty - you might visit the Roman Baths in the morning and then enjoy a gentle walk along the Cornwall coast in the afternoon. Many of our older guests mention how much they value having knowledgeable guides who can adapt the walking pace as needed and suggest alternate activities when sites involve lots of steps. The tours include lots of two-night stays, which our travelers say helps them feel properly rested.

Best time to visit England and Wales
- Spring 2025
Spring tours really come into their own as gardens burst into life across Britain. Our travelers rave about punting in Oxford past college gardens in full bloom and exploring the Cotswolds when wildflowers carpet the rolling hills. The Lake District is particularly lovely in spring - you can take a cruise on Windermere surrounded by fresh greenery and maybe spot lambs in the fields. Beatles fans love Liverpool in spring when you can combine visits to the Cavern Club with walks along the revitalized waterfront. Many guests tell us spring is perfect for hiking in Snowdonia National Park, where you'll find Welsh mountain paths dotted with early flowers and also crystal-clear views across to the Irish Sea.
