What people love about England Tours
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
My guide, Ambrose was full of information which he dealt out with enthusiasm. He was always polite and helpful. The destinations were great and, what I really like about Rabbie's is that they always go the extra mile. Places that aren't on the itinerary are visited if there is time. I stayed in B&B's which were comfortable,clean and in good locations.
- London Explorer (8 Days)
LONDON EXCURSION: definitely a 5 star tour! Everything worked seamlessly. Our guide, Tony Perry, was friendly and accommodating. Our hotel was on the corner of Hyde Park, the tube station, and great shopping. We were busy every day, and had plenty of time for our own individual excursions of shopping,restaurants, museums,religious worship,and fine theater. All of the sights were interesting and varied,and we had no need to drive. Unqualified recommendation!
- London & Iconic England Tour - 6 days
Every location that we visited was amazing and our tour guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The tour guide provided a historical perspective of every place visited to current status. He was very flexible with the varying needs and interests of our group. TourRadar made hotel accommodations logistics easy to navigate around during free time. Exceptional preparation was made with keen attention to detail to ensure an enriching experience touring iconic landmarks, (to name a few) such as Windsor, The Tower of London, Stonehenge & Edinburgh Castle, and Lacock Village. The tour was spectacular and exceeded all expectations.
Most popular destinations in England
Take a local's path through South West England and you'll discover Cornwall's quiet coves alongside Bath's graceful Georgian streets. Our travelers find themselves drawn to St Ives, where artists' studios and golden beaches set the scene for leisurely afternoon walks. Small groups wind through Cornwall with guides like Olivia, who shares tales of smugglers and sailors while showing off hidden fishing villages most visitors miss. TourRadar customers tell us they love the mix of wild coastal trails and elegant historical sites, though they suggest spending more time in cultural centers like St Ives and less at busy spots like Land's End. The region pairs Cornwall's deep maritime roots with Bath's Roman and Georgian grandeur, creating rich layers of history that our expert guides help uncover. For the best experience, plan your visit during spring or early autumn - May and September offer pleasant temperatures and smaller crowds, perfect for exploring coastal paths and outdoor sites.

Based on our travelers' feedback, Rabbies really stands out for small group tours - they keep things intimate and personal while their guides share local stories that go way beyond the usual tourist facts. Their groups stay small which means you can actually chat with the guide and get those insider tips about hidden spots and local haunts. Explore runs a close second, with guides who clearly love what they do and know their history inside out. Both companies have figured out how to balance being professional with feeling like you're traveling with a knowledgeable friend. Globus does well with the logistics - their hotels are reliably good and the staff handles any issues quickly. They've got their itineraries down to a science, though you'll typically be with larger groups than Rabbies or Explore. Trafalgar covers all the main spots you'd want to see, but some of our customers mention the groups can get pretty big which sometimes leads to waiting around during pickups and transfers. If you're after something more personal where you can really dig into the local culture and history, Rabbies is probably your best bet - they've really mastered that small-group approach. Worth noting that every company has its own style of touring, but these insights come directly from people who've actually taken these tours through us, so you're getting real experiences rather than marketing speak.

"Your trip to Shetland was as you had described that it would be. I loved the experience, the sites and most of those on the tour. It was a lot more hiking than I had planned for doing for my legs. Our guide Tony was very helpful to me and others. We enjoyed him very much. I would have liked more interaction with locals and learning how they make their living in Shetland.

Best places to start your England tour
Most people start their tour from London - 52 of our recent travelers did just that. While you can leave from Manchester, Bristol, St Bees and also Ilkley, these aren't as common and don't run as often. The booking sweet spot is about 113 days ahead, especially if you're looking at summer dates or want to stay at Brooks Guest House in Bath during the two-day trips. Our past guests often mention how traveling in a small group means they can stop at local pubs and tea rooms when the moment feels right - these spontaneous breaks often become trip highlights. The smaller numbers also mean more time at each stop and room to work around Britain's unpredictable weather, which really helps when you're dealing with different seasons.
Discover England tours for every budget
Budget-conscious travelers find great value on several classic English routes. The Coast to Coast walk takes 11 days from Kirkby Stephen to Robin Hood's Bay, where you'll climb up to the ancient stone cairns at Nine Standards Rigg and wander through old mining villages in Swaledale. Walking Hadrian's Wall from Whitley Bay lets you explore Roman sites like Segedunum fort while following the River Tyne as it flows through Newcastle's old quarter. The Dales Way shows off Yorkshire's character through medieval Bolton Abbey, the market town of Grassington and also the rugged Pennine landscape.
The luxury end brings you to places like Bovey Castle, where local storytellers share tales of the moors before elegant dinners in the neo-Elizabethan manor house. Some tours pair stays at Laura Ashley's lakeside hotels with guided walks through the landscapes that inspired England's great poets. Down in Cornwall, you get private access to Tregothnan Estate - the only tea plantation in England. For garden enthusiasts, Chelsea Flower Show tours include special entry to Kew's Victorian Palm House and also private gardens that aren't open to regular visitors.

Cornwall and Devon make an ideal match for couples who want to really get to know England beyond the usual spots. Walk together along wild coastal paths and peek into old tin mines perched on rocky cliffs. There's something special about visiting Britain's original tea plantation at Tregothnan Estate, then retiring to carefully picked historic hotels for the evening. Up in the Lake District, follow the footsteps of the romantic poets through valleys and hills, with nights spent in welcoming Borrowdale Valley hotels where local ingredients shine on the dinner menu. Kent's Garden of England opens up its secrets - you'll taste wines at family-run vineyards, discover moated castles and also wander the beautiful rose gardens at Sissinghurst.
Our guided cycling and hiking routes attract young adults who like to earn their views. The Hadrian's Wall bike journey kicks off strong with a solid 45-kilometer ride on day one, following ancient Roman routes past old fortress ruins. You'll push through some proper hills on the Solway Coast to reach spots like Birdoswald Fort, with natural wonders all around. Lake District walking tours mix social hostel nights with real achievements - including reaching the top of Scafell Pike at 978 meters, England's highest point. Our travelers tell us they love meeting new friends while hiking past mountain lakes, through purple heather hills and also along dramatic valley trails.
The Lake District works perfectly for senior travelers with our adaptable walking pace. Based from a comfortable hotel in Seatoller, you can choose between gentle valley walks or tackle something more challenging - like our two-tarns route or steeper hill climbs. Devon and Cornwall tours include plenty of two-night stops, so you can properly explore places like Falmouth and Exeter without rushing. Winter brings its own charm in Stratford-upon-Avon - arrive to a proper cream tea, enjoy Christmas lunch in historic settings and also join guided walks through Shakespeare's streets.
