My mother, brother, and myself are considering the Britain Sampler for a family vacation in August. We are curious about the accommodations if we select the three person room as opposed to the double room. I'm sure it varies by hotel, but how does the set up differ between the options? Does the third person room just include a cot or a pull-out sofa, or is there an additional bed/bedroom?

Wow, where to start. From the smooth airport, pick ups and drop offs and your representatives there to our quick trip to the hotel and your representatives there. All the information all the coordination was first class. The tour is just a blur in her mind now. Susie, our tour Director could not have been more knowledgeable or personable. A great representative of your brand. The places we went to and saw were fantastic. From . The places we went to and saw we're fantastic. From Stonehenge to Edinburgh two Quaint York and of course, London all first class. The only "constructive comment" I might make is that for me, and those around me, Wi-Fi on the bus was practically nonexistent. Might as well, not even say you have Wi-Fi, as it was offensive after the first three days. tried rebooting it and of course she said it was Hills country etc.. I think I commit to one time on the second and third day for a while, but never again.Show more
