What people love about England, Scotland And Wales Tours
- Essential Britain & Ireland
Everything was planned and organised professionally. Absolutely hassle free travelling. Our guide was friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable.
- Britain and Ireland Highlights (10 Days)
Avoid risks and assles in booking your own. Go Trafalgar and enjoy every moment stress free!
- Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland
I understood the tour would be fast paced to get through everything included. One hotel in Scotland was old but quaint with its odiocincrities and rabbit Warren corridors but a very beautiful building
Travel England, Scotland and Wales your way
Take in the picturesque landscapes and remarkable sights on a guided Coach / Bus adventure of England, Scotland And Wales. There are 41 vacation packages to choose from, that range in length from 5 days up to 20 days. The most popular month for these tours is May.
Our most popular 15-day explorer routes really dig into Britain and Ireland's hidden spots. Starting from London, you'll wind through York's medieval streets, cross the wild Scottish Highlands and discover Ireland's rugged western shores. There's proper time built in at the major sites like Stonehenge, Cardiff Castle and the Blarney Stone - but our travelers tell us the real magic happens in quieter places like the Ring of Kerry, where local families welcome you into centuries-old cottages for tea and tales. The journey mixes famous landmarks with lesser-known villages and includes expert local guides who know every story behind Dublin's literary pubs and Edinburgh's Royal Mile corners.
Select from our extensive range of 87 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through England, Scotland and Wales with our expert guides leading the way.
Our comprehensive cultural tours through Britain and Ireland span 10-15 days, weaving together authentic local encounters at every stop. You'll explore York's medieval Shambles with guides who share fascinating Viking history before getting private access to Scotland's Crown Jewels at Edinburgh Castle. The experiences feel wonderfully personal - Welsh families welcome you into their homes for countryside meals, while master craftsmen guide you through Waterford Crystal workshops and musicians share traditional tunes in Dublin's Temple Bar. What makes these journeys special are the authentic moments, like watching border collies work with shepherds in the Scottish Highlands, perfecting Irish coffee with pub experts in Dublin and discovering the Victorian gothic splendor inside Cardiff Castle. Our travelers tell us they love how the tours balance structured visits with time to wander places like Bath's Roman quarter, Stratford-upon-Avon's historic lanes and Oxford's hidden college courtyards at their own pace. Winter and spring tours tend to offer the deepest cultural immersion, with fewer visitors along Edinburgh's Royal Mile and exclusive after-hours access to sites like the Roman Baths.

Ten days lets you really get under the skin of Britain and Ireland. These tours begin in London before heading to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, then crossing into Wales. After exploring Cardiff's historic center, you'll take the ferry to Ireland for visits to Trinity College in Dublin, Waterford's crystal workshops and the winding Ring of Kerry. Our customers love how these trips blend city and countryside experiences - one moment you're examining the Crown Jewels in Edinburgh Castle, the next you're strolling along Lake Windermere or visiting an Irish stud farm. The local connections make it special too, from Irish coffee-making lessons to sharing dinner with Welsh families in their homes.

Two weeks gives you time to see it all properly and venture beyond the usual spots. These comprehensive tours take you to places like the Isle of Skye, where local guides show you around the Cuillin Mountains and the lovely port town of Portree. You'll explore Wordsworth's Lake District, walk through Tudor-era Chester and dig into Beatles history in Liverpool. The longer timeline means you can really settle in some places - you get two nights in Edinburgh during Military Tattoo season and extra time to properly explore Glencoe and Ben Nevis in the Highlands. Our travelers tell us they really value the relaxed pace and deeper local connections, from visiting working Somerset farms to meeting Highland shepherds who demonstrate their traditional sheep-herding skills.

Our 10-day British and Irish tours really connect with solo travelers who want to share experiences. You'll walk through York's old medieval streets, take a boat out on Lake Windermere and discover Edinburgh's Royal Mile with others who love exploring. The social side makes these trips special - joining local guided walks during the day and swapping stories over dinner in cozy pubs at night. There are unique experiences built in, like watching the skilled artisans at Waterford Crystal and taking the ferry across to Skye. Our guides are great at bringing everyone together, whether it's group meals in historic inns or optional evenings out at traditional music sessions in Dublin's Temple Bar.
The longer 15-19 day British tours get fantastic feedback from couples looking for an unhurried pace. You get quality time together in romantic locations like the Lake District, where you can choose to take a peaceful boat ride on Windermere or wander through the landscapes that inspired Wordsworth. Our travelers tell us they love having both guided visits and free time - maybe share a kiss at the Blarney Stone before exploring Dublin's literary pubs on your own, or join an optional dinner with views of Stirling Castle. You'll stay in historic buildings and share home-cooked meals with Welsh families in their countryside homes.
Our British tours for young adults focus on getting involved rather than just looking. You'll guide a punt through Oxford's rivers, trek Snowdonia's mountain paths and follow in the Beatles' footsteps around Liverpool. The unique activities really make these trips - touring Doctor Who filming spots in Cardiff, walking Edinburgh's Harry Potter routes and learning traditional Highland farming methods. The social parts are always popular, from Temple Bar pub evenings to joining local music sessions. There's also plenty of free time to explore solo or with your new tour friends.
Our older travelers value how these comprehensive 10-18 day tours give proper time at each place with comfortable travel between stops. The pace works well - perhaps spending a morning at Bath's Roman sites then having a peaceful afternoon in small Cotswolds villages. You'll get helpful orientation walks to know your way around, optional trips if you want to see more and hotels picked for their central spots. Our guides pay attention to what everyone needs, adjusting the walking speed and finding good lunch stops. Recent customers particularly mention how well these tours mix cultural visits with comfort - from included local restaurant dinners to routes planned without too much walking.

What Makes Exploring England Scotland and Wales Such an Amazing Adventure?
You know exploring these three countries together is just incredible - you've got such different landscapes and cultural experiences packed into one trip. The thing is you need to plan your time carefully because distances can be tricky. Take the Britain and Ireland Experience tour that's 15 days long where you're enjoying the Dingle Peninsula one day then catching a ferry from Pembroke Wales across to Waterford the next. If you want to make things easier rail travel or guided tours really help with all the logistics.
Which Hidden Gems Should You Check Out That Most Tourists Miss?
Get off the beaten path and discover places like Bladon village in the Cotswolds where Winston Churchill's buried or explore the wild beauty of Snowdonia National Park in Wales. The dramatic landscapes of Glencoe in Scotland are absolutely breathtaking and there's such incredible history there - it's known as the Glen of Weeping because of the tragic MacDonald clan massacre back in 1692.
What's the Best Way to Get Around Using Public Transport?
British Rail connects all the major cities really well like that scenic route from Edinburgh down to York. Coach tours are great if you want everything organized for you and local buses can get you to smaller places. For island hopping there's regular ferries to places like Skye and Anglesey - the Britain and Ireland Delight tour uses the ferry from Holyhead on Anglesey to Dublin. Just think about how much flexibility you want and what works for your budget.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Actually Take Part In?
You can watch master craftsmen at work in the Waterford Crystal Showroom try locally made honey at this amazing Welsh vineyard or join in a proper Scottish ceilidh at a local pub or community hall. These experiences really let you connect with local culture - like on the Britain and Ireland Highlights tour where you spend time with the Norris family at their sustainable vineyard in Wales seeing how they make their products.
