Are tours just myself and spouse or groups of people, how many in a group

All of our tours are group tours. For the trip you inquired about, the group size normally ranges from 1 to 12 guests. You and your spouse will be part of a small group, which allows for a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

How many suitcases are allowed for each person? What size of suitcase is allowed?

On this trip you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 15kg / 33lb. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps to accommodate the cobbled streets, uneven surfaces, stairs and steps you are likely to encounter while carrying your luggage. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.

Is this handicap accessible? Looking for senior trips for my parents.

The physical rating of this trip is rated at 2 out of 5 = Some easy physical activities included in your trip. No physical preparation is required to make the most of the journey.

On the Best of Britain tour, day 4 says we explore the Cotswalds. How? Do we go wherever we want? Taxi?

On Day 4 of the Best of Britain tour, you'll explore the beautiful Cotswolds with the help of our experienced tour leader. They'll guide you through the highlights during the day and share the history, charm, and hidden gems of the area. In the evening, you'll have free time to explore more at your own pace, and your tour leader will be happy to give you tips and advice on what to see, where to eat, or how to get around.

Trying to book a small group tour of England and Scotland for May or June of 2025. Would like to travel by Queen Mary 2 one way and fly the other way. I would like to coordinate the dates so that the land package and travel are fairly close together.
