I am interested in the 5 day England, Wales York trip but I have only two days that I am able to do this due to other commitments in England. I would be able to depart June 1 or May 31. Do you ever vary the the dates from those published?

This tour only departs on Fridays, so there are no departures on May 31st or June 1st unfortunately. We aren't able to add any more departures throughout the week.

Could we get to Victoria by 9.15am to join the 5 day England and wales tour? What is the fastest transfer?

The 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire tour departs at 09:15 from Stance 3 at the Greenline Coach Station, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London. If your flight arrives on time at Heathrow, you should be able to reach the departure point in about 1 hour, assuming no delays. Currently, Google Maps estimates 47 minutes by car, 58 minutes by public transport.

We wonder how long does the tour stop at Chatsworth House. I'd like to take the house tour but my companion would like to focus on all the gardens. Is there time to do both?

The tour will visit Chatsworth House for approximately 3 hours. The driver-guide will handle the reservations, so please let them know that you want to visit, so they can arrange the tickets in advance.

Will all the accommodations be taken care of? When do we return to London and where do we board the tour in London? Is the total price as listed per person ($1,118) or are there additional costs.

Yes if you book this tour package, we will book the accommodation for you. This is also incorporated into the tour cost. The tour cost also includes entrance admission for Conwy Castle. This is the only attraction that can be prebooked as part of this tour. There may be other locations you visit on the tour that you need to prepay for, however these can be purchased on the day and cost less than £10. The accommodation provides breakfast on each morning, however all other meals need to be purchased by you.

can you give us a quote for two adults and 6 children for the tour package

The cost of this tour depends on the type of accommodation. We don't offer any 4 person rooms on our tours, and the children are unable to stay by themselves in a room. Can I ask how old the children are? The rate for an adult in B&B accommodation would be £903.63 per person, and the child's rate would be £874.25 per person. For the Hotel accommodation option, the adult rate is £1045.63 per person and the child rate is £1016.25 per person.

What should I do if I need to cancel my booking?

If you need to cancel, ensure you do so at least 23 days before departure to be eligible for a full refund.

Are meals included in the package?

Breakfast is included with your accommodation, but no other meals are provided. You'll have opportunities to purchase lunch and dinner during your free time.

Interested in the 5 day Heart of England, Wales, Yorkshire tour dates in May 2026 and the price of tour for 2 adults over 60. And what are accommodations from B&B to hotel and how does the group stay together if in different accommodations. We like to explore the town we are staying in and is that possible with either accommodation?

You can choose a hotel package or a B&B if you prefer. We try to keep people with the same accommodation preferences together but this is not always possible due to availability. Hotels tend to be a bit more central, but you'll have plenty of time to explore the towns where the tour stays overnight as the driver-guide will aim to drop you off in the evening at approximately 6pm.

do you have written directions that II can follow ?

What is the cost breakdown for the tour ; I'm confused that when I clicked on " Confirm Dates " there is cost refering to accommodation which are different to the listed Tour price of $ 1850 /adult ; can you please clarify what are the tour costs before we book which we are keen to do today

Is there a difference in quality between Hotels and B&Bs?

B&Bs are usually smaller, family-run guesthouses, while hotels are larger organizations. Hotel rooms tend to be of a higher standard.

The five day tour gave myself the opportunity to see the stunning and picturesque elements of the UK that could go unnoticed without the jam packed itinerary that Rabbies’ provides. My experience was immensely heightened by the wide spectrum of knowledge that Russ provided, with his abundance of geographical and historical facts providing context to the locations we visited. Russ, even went above and beyond in deviating the itinerary on the last day to accomodate my wish of visiting Oxford with myself being the only traveller remaining.Show more

John was a fantastic tour guide. He shared lots of history and experiences of living in England. He doted on us and treated us like queens. He had a great sense of humor. The bus was very comfortable and Rabbie was very kind to take us, although there were only 3 people signed up for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour for a brief overview of England and Wales.Show more

Very enjoyable tour. Rabbie's guide Kate was wonderful. The BnB in York was very pleasant. My only suggestion to Rabbies is maybe a little more time in Conwy and Stratford upon Avon, and less time in Buxton, Lincoln, and Cambridge. Buxton had little to do and was disappointing. It didn't warrant being left for several hours in comparison to Stratford-upon-Avon with its many shops and restaurants which we only had 2.5 hours to expolore. We were dropped of in Cambridge and Lincoln for longer than necessary and enjoyed that final day the least. But all and all, I would recommend Rabbie's and would use them again.Show more

  What is the avg price for the hotel package and any additional charges associated with this trip. Do you know when approximately you would have dates and rates for Aug-Sept 2026.

  If you book this package through Tourradar, all your accommodation and attractions are included as part of the cost. There may be some entrance fees that we can't prebook, in which case you can pay on the door when you arrive. For the B&B option, a single room would cost £1045.63 per person and the double/twin room option is £903.63 per person. The Hotel option is slightly more expensive, a total of £1303.63 per person for the single room option, and £1045.63 for the double/twin option. These prices are based on an August or September departure for 2025. The 2026 rates may differ slightly.

- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written March 2025
  This tour departs from the Greenline Coach Terminal on Bulleid Way in Victoria, London, SW1W 9SH. If you just put 'Bulleid Way' into Maps on your phone this will take you straight there. We are available on the phone on the morning of your tour if you need any further directions. I would recommend doing a bit of research in how to find the departure point prior to your tour departure to avoid any stress on the day. For the B&B Double/Twin room option in August 2025, the price would be £903.63 per person, so £1807.26 in total for 2 passengers. The Hotel option is slightly more expensive, £1045.63 per person for the Double/Twin room option, so £2091.26 in total for 2 pax. There is a single supplement so single rooms are more expensive.
