Our experience using Tourradar was excellent. We think the most important thing when taking a tour is the personality and knowledge of a tour leader. Our tour guide, Brando Gee had made the overall experience exciting. He always described the historical significance of each place we were exploring. The places we went to, places we stayed, times we dined together were what we expected on a tour. Plus, Alan our bus driver was great and we always felt safe driving with him.
Best of UK & IrelandThe British and Ireland Delight was indeed a delight. For those seeking a quick introduction covering the UK and Ireland, it is ideal. The mix of travel time and activities daily maximized the time without overkill. There was a nice balence of scenery, history, culture, and locations. The Mercedes Coach was top flight. The bus driver was skilled and very thoughtful. The trip was highly organized and managed. Our director, Jemma, was a gem and was marvelous. She kept things punctual, provided clear instructions, was highly knowledgeable, skilled and efficient. Give her a raise. The hotel rooms were overall very good. However the stay in Glascow had some rooms lacking cleanliness. The hotels were very accommodating and helpful which was appreciated. The beds were generally quite comfortable. We were pleased. Over 56 years of travel and dozens of tours this rates well above average. Thanks to everybody for making things special.
Britain and Ireland Delight (2026 Onwards, 10 Days)Travel Chasers (formally Expat Explorers) is the way I like to travel. You are doing something all day and see a tons of sites. Mike, our tour leader, was so knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We had a great time.

Best time to visit UK and Great Britain
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn tours catch Britain and Ireland in rich colors without the summer crowds. Our 10-day routes hit all the highlights while the weather's still mild. You'll see the Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Highlands in their autumn glory - all rust and gold colors - and ancient Stonehenge looks particularly mysterious in the softer fall light. We stop in Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, where those Tudor buildings look amazing against the changing leaves. Castle visits feel more personal this time of year - from Cardiff's Norman fortress to Edinburgh's royal castle - since you won't be sharing them with peak season crowds.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter tours in Britain and Ireland adapt nicely to shorter days and occasional snow. Scotland's highland routes include warm stops at Pitlochry's whiskey distilleries and Stirling Castle, where you can duck inside from the cold while soaking up centuries of history. Edinburgh Castle feels extra special in winter light - there's something about those old stone walls in the crisp air. The schedule includes The Kelpies, these incredible horse-head sculptures that look almost magical against dark Scottish winter skies. Our travelers really appreciate letting expert drivers handle any tricky weather conditions while they stay warm and comfortable in heated coaches between stops.

- Spring 2027
Spring hits the sweet spot in Britain - the Cotswolds light up with wildflowers and Welsh valleys turn the richest green you can imagine. You can pick from tours running 10 to 19 days, perfect timing to see Bath's Roman sites and Georgian buildings before the big crowds arrive. Our guests love punting on Cambridge's River Cam when the university gardens burst into bloom, and walking York's medieval walls while chocolate scents drift up from the city's famous makers. The Lake District really shows off in spring - you'll spot newborn lambs near Beatrix Potter's farm and follow Wordsworth's old paths now lined with golden daffodils.

- Summer 2027
Summer's long days open up so many possibilities, especially for our multi-country tours. We time several Edinburgh stays for August's Military Tattoo - our customers tell us there's nothing quite like seeing those pipes and drums against the castle at dusk. The warm weather's perfect for coastal spots: you can walk the Cliffs of Moher, take a peaceful boat ride on Loch Lomond and explore Giant's Causeway's unique rock formations. Irish routes include evening music sessions in Temple Bar pubs and medieval feasts in old castles, made extra special by those endless summer twilights.
