There is always one day too few. These 10 full-day tours earn the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes and the rest of the trip stays yours.
See Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath in one long London day, with coach transport, guide commentary, and optional entry tickets.
“Great experience but not enough time at Windsor castle. Definitely couldn’t doddle looking in state rooms if St. George’s cathedral is a must see.”
See the Lake District by minibus on an eight-hour Ten Lakes tour with local guides, scenic stops, Keswick lunch time, and no tricky driving.
“The advantages are that the driver/guide was very knowledgeable, the tour is excellent, the driver drives very skillfully along narrow roads with oncoming traffic, the views are breathtaking, picturesque farm animals, enough time at each stop, money well spent. The disadvantages are that parking is very far from the pick up spot and uphill once you have parked, the doors open at 9.30 am for a 9.40 am start, the driver was 15 minutes late,”
See St. Paul’s, Buckingham Palace, the Tower, Thames, and London Eye in one guided day, with coach travel and skip-the-line tickets.
“Tish was great, but the tour was overpriced for the overall experience and sites. Changing of the guards was a waste of time due to our arrival time and crowds. We didn't see Westminster in our brief drive-by and the tour ended early based upon advertised time.”
See Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Oxford on a 10-hour day trip from London with transport, guide commentary, and free time.
“Both of the places we visited in the Cotswolds had very few shops open and few places to purchase food. We arrived too early at both locations.”
Review of a seven-hour small-group Cotswolds tour from Oxford, visiting Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, Lower Slaughter, Stow, and Great Tew.
“Andrew is a phenomenal tour guide for the Cotswolds. He had an amazing grasp of the local history of the area and a wonderful clear voice. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.”
Ride a heritage steam train through the North York Moors, explore Whitby and Goathland, and enjoy a small-group day trip from York.
“Chris was an excellent tour guide whose knowledge and humor made this tour the highlight of my trip to England. In addition to all the amazing sights advertised on the tour, we even got a bonus visit to Byland Abbey. Chris did a great job of preparing us for each stop and providing context for what we were seeing. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough!”
Review of Hampton Court’s guided palace tour, gardens, and riverside afternoon tea, with practical advice on price, timing, transport, and value.
“This was a wonderful experience. We loved the majesty and history of Hampton Court. Susan did a wonderful job taking us back in time. The high tea across the street and on the water was lovely. The food was delicious. This outing was among our favorites.”
Explore Shakespeare’s Stratford and Cotswold villages on a small-group day trip from London, with scenic drives, local stops, and practical guidance.
“Good size group. Enjoyable day out. Paul made sure we got to see as much as possible. He also knew the area very well.”
See 10 Lake District lakes, Honister Pass, Castlerigg Stone Circle and an Ullswater cruise on a scenic small-group tour from Windermere.
“Thank you to Gillian and Sandra for an amazing day touring the Lake District!! This is the only and best way to see the area. The roads are incredibly small for driving and passing, so a trip with English Lakes Tours allows for a relaxing day to see all of the area. With Sandra driving and Gillian giving both an informative and historical background, the trip was both fun and informative. The boat ride on Lake Ullswater was an added plus with very beautiful scenery. I highly recommend English Lakes Tours!”
Review of the 10-hour Jurassic Coast tour from Bournemouth, with Sandbanks ferry, Corfe Castle, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and practical walking tips.
“This experience was one for the books. I was an absolutely lovely day. Paul was awesome to say the least. He made the experience a wholesome one. Thank you so much Paul for a great time. This is better experienced in person I must say.”
Pick a city, a castle or a walk.
