What people love about England, Ireland And Scotland Tours
- Best of UK & Ireland
We enjoyed our trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly
- Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland
Would have loved to stay longer in Chester, York, and Temby. Either there was time to eat and not shop or site see, or shop and site see and not eat. Would have loved to have recommendations of quick bites. Other than that it was a great trip.
- Essential Britain & Ireland
Covered alot of ground and very busy of course with never enough time, but that was expected. Great driver, found tour director somewhat unenthusiastic - would have liked more concise info on how each day was going to progress and a little more interaction with the group. Hotel Metropole was so hot and too noisy to have window open - most of the hotel rooms were so hot all night. Holiday Inn York room was rather well tread and dirty. Other than that a great trip with excellent meals except the dinner at Holiday Inn York.

The coach tours across Britain and Ireland run between 13 and 19 days, letting you choose how deep you want to go. Starting from London, you'll wind through charming spots like Bath, York and onwards into Scotland. Our customers tell us they love how everything's taken care of while still getting those special experiences - like nights in a historic hotel by Loch Lomond or early access to Edinburgh Castle before the crowds arrive. The coaches are well-suited for those long scenic routes through the Highlands and along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. The drivers get lots of praise for handling those narrow country lanes and coastal roads like pros, while the tour leaders share local knowledge and stories that really add color to each stop. It's perfect if you want to see lots of places without dealing with left-side driving.
See all Coach / Bus toursOur explorer tours really shine when it comes to experiencing these islands in depth. You'll weave between famous landmarks and local secrets - one moment you're gazing across Loch Ness, the next you're learning the history behind the Blarney Stone. What makes these routes work so well is the balance between guided highlights and independent discovery time. Our travelers often mention how much they appreciate exploring Edinburgh's Royal Mile or wandering Dublin's historic center at their own speed. The guides get constant mentions in feedback for making places like Stratford-upon-Avon and the Giant's Causeway come alive through their stories. These tours hit the sweet spot between the major sites and genuine local moments - you'll join traditional music sessions in Irish pubs and watch skilled sheepdogs work in the Scottish Highlands.

Who are you traveling with?
Group
105 tours in England, Ireland and ScotlandThe group tours we run in Britain and Ireland are great for making friends while traveling - usually with 30-45 people which feels just right. You'll share some really fun moments together, from live Irish music sessions in local pubs to afternoon tea in Bath and dinner parties in actual medieval castles. Our guides are experts at bringing everyone together; they'll get sing-alongs going during longer drives and make sure nobody feels left out. The schedule works well - you might spend your morning exploring York's city walls with the group then head off with your new travel friends to explore the historic Shambles market area. Our travelers tell us they love having all the details taken care of while enjoying the company of people who share their interests in history, culture and also good fun.

The 10-day tours through Britain and Ireland hit just the right balance for experiencing both countries properly. You'll move from London's energy to Bath's Roman heritage, then up to York's winding medieval lanes and Edinburgh's castle-crowned heights. Our customers particularly enjoy how these routes mix the must-sees with genuine local moments - you might watch master craftsmen shape crystal at Waterford before joining the live music scene in Dublin's Temple Bar. The small touches make these trips special, like learning the art of Irish coffee, seeing skilled sheepdogs work the Highland flocks and also visiting Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. Our guides excel at making history feel current and relevant, whether explaining Stonehenge's ancient mysteries or sharing vivid stories of Highland clan rivalries.

The 14-day journeys let you truly sink into British and Irish culture with a well-planned mix of guided experiences and personal exploration time. You'll get to cruise Loch Lomond's waters, explore Powerscourt's manicured gardens and watch skilled falconers work with their birds at Dunrobin Castle. Our travelers often mention how much they value staying in unique places - from countryside manor houses near Pitlochry to hotels with Ring of Kerry views. The pace works perfectly for really getting to know each stop, whether you're learning traditional farming in the Highlands, discovering Belfast's Titanic Quarter or hearing tales of Welsh history at Caernarfon Castle. These longer routes give you time to experience places rather than just see them.

Our longer Britain and Ireland routes really suit solo travelers, running 15-24 days and drawing people who love to explore together. You'll discover Oxford's college courtyards, wander Edinburgh's Royal Mile and soon find yourself making plans with new friends for dinner in Dublin's pubs. The itinerary hits those must-see spots - yes, you can kiss the Blarney Stone and take that classic Lake Windermere cruise - but also gives you space to do your own thing. Our solo travelers often mention how naturally the friendships develop, whether they're climbing York Minster's tower or walking Londonderry's historic walls together. The guides are great at creating that welcoming group feeling while making sure everyone feels included during castle visits and city walks.
The Scots Irish tours really hit the mark for families - you'll spend 10-11 days exploring castles and countryside at a pace that works for all ages. Kids get excited about the hands-on experiences like watching whisky being made (they get their own juice tastings) and visiting Highland chocolate makers where everyone samples the treats. Our families tell us the medieval castle banquets are a highlight, especially for the younger ones who feel like they're stepping into a storybook. Parents appreciate having all the travel details sorted while the kids watch border collies rounding up sheep or climb around the natural rock formations at Giants Causeway. The drives are well planned with interesting stops - Titanic Belfast fascinates all ages and Urquhart Castle gives you those perfect Loch Ness views everyone wants to photograph.

Best time to visit England, Ireland and Scotland
- Spring 2025
Spring tours across Britain and Ireland typically run 10-19 days and offer solid value as temperatures start rising. The most requested routes take you through the Roman Baths in Bath, up to Edinburgh Castle and along Ireland's Cliffs of Moher. Spring really shows off the countryside - you'll see the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands while Wales comes alive with daffodils in every direction. Our tours blend city discoveries with country charm - one morning you're exploring Oxford's college courtyards, then by afternoon you're watching border collies work their magic with sheep flocks in the Lake District. Travelers consistently praise how the guides bring historical sites to life, especially at places like Hadrian's Wall and Trinity College Dublin.

Summer means long daylight hours, letting us pack more into each day. Popular routes cover the classic sites but also include seasonal events like the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in August. Our guests love joining in traditional Scottish ceilidhs, taking in the Ring of Kerry's coastal views and exploring York's medieval streets and alleyways. Tours often include special experiences - you might find yourself out on Loch Ness, learning distillery secrets in the Highlands or watching master craftspeople at Waterford Crystal. The guides are experts at timing - they know exactly when to visit busy sites to dodge the crowds and also how to find quiet moments even in popular summer spots.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall tours run 10-19 days with fewer crowds and landscapes turning golden and red. Well-loved routes combine Stonehenge, the Giant's Causeway, Cambridge and also Oxford with their historic university atmospheres. Our travelers appreciate how we mix city exploration with countryside charm - mornings might find you discovering Dublin's Georgian squares while afternoons take you through Cotswolds villages where time seems to stand still. The cooler autumn weather works perfectly for castle visits, and guides time the arrivals at Eilean Donan Castle or Urquhart Castle for the best light and smallest crowds. Many guests mention how much they value having both guided highlights and free time to discover places like Galway and Chester on their own terms.
