    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written May 2025

      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.

    Katherine

    Asked on May 12th, 2025

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

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written May 2025

      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.

  • R

    Asked on March 22nd, 2025

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

  • O

    Olivier

    Asked on March 17th, 2025

    Are meals included in the package?

    Meals

    Esther

    Asked on March 13th, 2025

    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?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written March 2025

      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.

    • E

      Esther

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      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.

    • Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written March 2025

      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. We normally announce of 2026 schedule and prices by the end of the Summer, so please check back with us then for an update.

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      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

    • 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.
