    Fantastic tour overall. The itinary was great and allowed a good amount of time to experience everything we wanted to see. It covered an incredible amount of the country, especially Scotland. Tour guide Remi was fantastic and very helpful through the whole trip, especially as we were traveling with a wheelchair user. Accomodation wasn’t bad, could have been better but no complaints. Some of the meals were average but others were fantastic so it all balanced out.

    Remí was fantastic. He was very fun to be with, knowledgeable, and very trustworthy. He paired very well with our driver Connor. He definitely had a positive impact on my experience, and I would take a trip with him at the helm again.

    Honestly this Contiki was awesome and exceeded my expectations. Remi the tour manager was such a champion who kept things running smoothly but also sure we were having a laugh and learning things about the history of England and Scotland. Bus driver Conor was also phenomenal navigating the small streets and alleyways, what an absolute legend. When I started my trip I had just come off the back off another and was extremely homesick but because of how smooth it ran and how many knowledge bombs Remi was dropping I soon felt much more comfortable. Would definitely recommend this Contiki but more so the guide and driver because they legit made the trip!

    This was a whirlwind amazing trip as a great intro to all these exciting new sites and places. A good balance between the big cities, rural countryside and scenic stops. Megs is nothing short as a phenomenal trip manager, she is the cream of the crop. Outgoing, witty, funny, engaging, personable, smart, caring, sweet..the list goes on. She got to know everyone individually and was excellent at assessing everyone's needs and personalities. I liked how she went down the bus everyday to talk to everyone especially if you were sitting alone that day she made you feel part of the group. Her knowledge of historical information while combining it with pop culture and quirky references is outstanding. The girl knows her stuff. She delivered the info so it was understandable and still interesting to the everyday traveler. She showed a good balance between professionalism and going out and engaging with the group. 5 stars and cheers for Megs. Woot woot. Well done. Overall a phenomenal experience and tour Contiki. Thank you.

    My sister and I went on our second Contiki trip and decided to take the England/Scotland tour. Our tour guide Ellie was fantastic! She told us lots about the different places we went too and was always approachable to talk to. When we had bus issues or were stuck in traffic she would play some awesome music for us or gave us more info on the history of the country and the city we were going to visit next. She made my second Contiki trip a absolute blast! Thanks Ellie!! :)

    Is the train fare included?

    Price / Availability
    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2022

      transportation between each destination is by coach bus, which is included in the price. The tour offers two destinations to end in either Glasgow at 8:00am or ending back in London. Post night required in London. If you choose to do this option, the train ticket will technically be included in the overall booking price, but is more expensive than if you were to select the ending Glasgow option.
