    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2024

      This trip starts early in the morning approximately 6:00 AM therefore we require a pre-accommodation in London. Travellers meet at London Royal National Hotel courtyard for departure. The start hotel is subject to change at any time.

  • R

    Ryan

    Asked on August 21st, 2023

    Do you have any tours of scotland/ireland/UK starting and ending in Manchester or can you join any in Manchester?

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2023

      Unfortunately, we don't have any tours that finish in Manchester specifically however I can recommend the England and Scotland or The Great Britian and Ireland tour which you could join either on the second day of the tour in Manchester. You are able to leave the group at any point on the tour if this allows you to finish closer to Manchester.
