    At the moment, we currently offer one dedicated Great Britain tour package. This 7-day Great Britain tour covers England, Scotland, and Wales, combining cities, history, and scenery. You will visit key highlights including London, Cambridge, York, Liverpool, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Stonehenge, Edinburgh, and Cardiff.
    
    Expect a mix of experiences: Historic landmarks and UNESCO sites, Cultural icons like Shakespeare and The Beatles, Natural beauty in the Lake District and Scottish Highlands (Loch Ness, Glencoe, Ben Nevis), Castles, battlefields, and scenic drives.
    
    In terms of activity level, all Expat Explore tours involve a moderate amount of walking and travellers are required to carry their own luggage. Walking tours can last up to 3 hours, and some locations may include stairs and uneven surfaces. We always recommend reviewing the itinerary carefully to ensure the pace feels comfortable and enjoyable for you.
    
    If you are open to combining Great Britain with Ireland for a broader and potentially more varied pace of travel, we also offer Best of UK and Ireland combination tours.

  What is the cost for a private room?

  Single supplement
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2026

    The private room upgrade (single supplement) is +$765 USD per person, though please note that pricing and availability are subject to change. At this moment, this departure has already reached capacity for private rooms. You have a couple of options: you can join the tour on the standard twin-share accommodation, sharing a room with another solo traveler of the same gender, or you may choose to look at alternative departure dates that still have private room availability.

    On arrival and departure days, are we picked up, dropped off at the airport? Or do we have to make our own arrangements to get from the airport to the hotel and vice versa?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2026

    For this tour, flights are not included, so you will need to arrange your international and any domestic flights separately. Airport transfers and pre- or post-tour hotel accommodations are also not included, and the exact arrangements will depend on your airport of origin and travel schedule. Once your booking is confirmed, we can provide helpful links to external providers for pre- and post-tour hotels as well as airport transfer options to help make your arrival and departure as smooth as possible.

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2026

    Airport pick-up and drop-off to/from Heathrow Airport are not included in the tour package. Travellers are generally responsible for arranging their own transportation between the airport and the starting/ending hotel. Once your booking is confirmed, we will provide the hotel details so you can easily plan your transfer.
    
    Daily transportation to the destinations and activities listed in the itinerary is included as part of the tour. Travel between cities and major sightseeing stops is arranged for the group. However, during free time or free days, transportation to additional places you choose to visit independently would be at your own expense.

    So we will transfer onto one of the Magical mystery tour buses? If so, then I can assume that I can check with their website to see the tour itinerary? Does this happen on day 5 or 6, because I see we'll be in Liverpool both of those days. Is there somewhere that I can see a detailed itinerary for this whole trip? One that specifies where we'll stop and how much time we'd have at each stop?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written February 2026

    Yes, you will be transferring onto one of the official, colorful Magical Mystery Tour buses. Regarding the timing and specific itinerary, our procurement team is currently putting the finishing touches on the final schedule to ensure everything runs like clockwork. Because of this, I highly advise checking the itinerary on our website.

    As a group of six travelers, the standard rooming arrangement is twin-share accommodation, meaning three rooms. If one traveler opts for a private room, the remaining traveler would be roomed with another solo traveler of the same gender, or they may also choose to book a Private Room upgrade. The cost of the Private Room upgrade for this excursion is USD 855. Please note that private rooms are subject to availability.
