    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 effort

    A sampler of three countries. Not enough time to spend time at any city to explore. Too many long drives between stops.

    I absolutely loved the Real Britain tour by Trafalgar! Our guide Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour which made our time so enjoyable! Our driver Ian was also very good! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants a well-rounded taste of England! I was very happy to see a bit of Scotland as well! The only thing I would ask is that Tour Radar would put more specific details about the tour on their site as it appears on Trafalgar’s website. I would have appreciated the list of the names of the hotels, optional experiences, and which particular meals were included etc. Having finished the tour, I know better where I would like to stay longer the next time I’m in England! I got to see so much amazing scenery in the countryside as we travelled and sights at the destinations we stopped. It was truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

    The trip was everything we wanted it to be. Hotels were nice, food was good, travel was easy & the sights were fantastic. We saw so much in such a short time. Paul, our driver, was very good & our guide Chris was so knowledgeable & experienced. He taught us a lot about what we were seeing. Would highly recommend Trafalgar. Looking forward to next trip.

    Not really a 9 day tour. The first two days in London there is no connection with the rest of the tour group, you just do your own thing, all they supply is the hotel room. I still had to book my own day tours on Viator. Same for the last day of the tour. I could have just flown to London and done that myself without paying for a “tour”. Same for the last day. This is realistically a 6 day tour.
