Seamus (Dave), was so accommodating and patient, so knowledgeable and made us laugh along the way. Always on time and happy to help. We had the best experience and would highly recommend the tour and would use Overland again, especially if we got Dave. Well done Overland for an exceptional tour and a wonderful tour guide. Gerry and Sharon. July 2026.
8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group TourOur 13-day tour of the UK was packed with information. Branden, our tour guide, made history intersting. He was able to inspire us by adding stories and music about the places we visited. I also liked how he could change his English to the local variation. It was a fun experience.
Best of UK & IrelandMy tour was a great experience, visiting many of my bucket list sites with a great guide and driver. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

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 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.
