What people love about England and Scotland Tours for Seniors
- Bonnie Scotland with London
Charlotte was amazing , She made our trip, she complete ❤️
Our 10 day trip of Great Britain was great! Our tour director Stephen was funny, knowledgeable and made the trip of a lifetime. I would recommend this trip again the only thing I would say is I wish we could have stayed in some cities more than 1 night because at times I felt always on the go and felt a bit rushed. Overall a amazing trip
Amazing Britain (London Overnights)
I thought this fast pace tour was everything I expected and more. Our cruise manager, Steen, couldn’t have been better. We all loved him and his tremendous knowledge of history and insight into cultures (including his own). I would do it all again.
