The tour was well thought out and very well planned. Stops were thoughtful also keeping in mind to show us more of the important history and architecture. Vanessa was a fantastic guide and Justin was just the best coach driver. Porterage was so unexpected and so so fantastic. We loved it. The hotels were good and had all amenities but maybe a notch higher quality with even a higher price on tour would have been ok for us as a family. Novotel was the best stop on the hotels. Holiday Inn Edinburgh was way off shoot to do things in the city. All in all a fantastic tour. We highly recommend it and did so to many. Kudos on all the effortShow more

Thank you for sharing your recent trip to Britain with us. We understand that the long coach rides may have been tiring, but we hope the unique attractions in our itinerary made up for it. If you consider travelling with us again, we recommend booking with our sister brand, Insight Vacations.
