What people love about Family Tours in UK and Great Britain
- Britain and Ireland Panorama (19 Days)
Amazing adventure, Love the extras, enjoyed the sights, everything ran so smoothly. I really enjoyed just sitting back and leaving the planning to someone else
- Britain and Ireland Highlights (10 Days)
This tour was well organized and executed. Expect lots of early mornings and time on the bus, but that is what you get when you want to see this many cities in 10 days. I can't think of a better way to see so much. Tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and they really fit in months worth of sites and information into this trip.
- Wonders of Britain and Ireland (15 Days)
Would be excellent but up-front communication was poor, coaches are cramped and some of the optional experiences were not fun or interesting. But, tour director and driver were fun and knowledgeable, hotels were good, most experiences were great and we saw so much! I would recommend it to family and friends.
