Lee was an outstanding guide. He manages to keep a wide range of personalties organized , safe and welcomed. He made the long hours on the bus pass by with lots of down to earth history talks and stories. His pride for his country really shines through.His love of taking great photos and sharing them was an added bonus. Our bus driver Rob was also outstanding. A skilled driver with a shining personality. Most of the itinerary was great with only a couple of exceptions. Cardiff is definitely an unnecessary stop. We arrived at supper time only to leave early the next morning. There was no time to explore this city. It seems like a wasted stop just to say you visited Wales. This time could have been better spent by allowing more time in Bath. We had two hours which is barely enough time to visit the Roman Baths. Often times when we were given some free time, there was time to eat or time to explore-not both. The hotel choices were mainly wonderful but a couple of them were on the outskirts of town making getting into the city difficult (walking a mile to get to the transit stop along busy highways). A list of the accommodations should be sent out much earlier than 2 weeks before the trip as it made it difficult to plan activities for our free days (due to not knowing how far away we might be from hotel to excursion). The list of optionals was good (although hard to find on the page, I had to inquire via chat). Sometimes a better description would be helpful (eg. Stonehenge and Loch Ness. It was unclear what you could do if you didn’t sign up in advance for these optionals). Overall the trip was beautiful. The scenery is outstanding. The Ring of Kerry and Killarney were one of the highlights as was The Giant’s Causeway. May was an ideal time to go-the weather was comfortable and the crowds not as busy as say August. Be prepared for long hours on the bus but incredible scenery and the chance to meet new friends from all over the world sitting right next to you

Best time to visit UK and Great Britain
- Summer 2026
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.

- 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 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.
