What people love about England and Ireland Tours for Seniors
- Britain and Ireland Highlights (10 Days)
I thoroughly enjoyed my Trafalgar Tour of Britain and Ireland Highlights and we couldn't have had a better guide than Greg. He was thoroughly knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour, kept everyone's spirits up during the days of heavy rain, etc. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was looked after in any way they needed. Providing the "little extras" certainly was a great pleasure for everyone.
- Britain & Ireland Explorer (Classic, Summer, 15 Days)
Wonderful experience, great sights and experiences
- The Best of Britain & Ireland

What our customers ask about England and Ireland Tours for Seniors
What level of physical activity is required for senior tours in England and Ireland?
The best months for seniors to visit England and Ireland are late spring (May-June) and early fall (September). During these times temperatures stay between 60-70°F (15-21°C) with fewer tourists than peak summer season and less rain than winter. The Scottish Highlands show their best side in September while Ireland's Ring of Kerry comes alive with wildflowers in May. One TourRadar traveler noted: "We went in September and had perfect weather for exploring both countries plus the crowds were manageable at popular sites like Stonehenge."
How much free time is available on senior tours of England and Ireland?
The tours provide a good mix of guided activities and personal time. You can expect 2-3 hours of free time most afternoons in major cities such as London Dublin and Edinburgh. This allows time to explore on your own or take a break at your hotel. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our Brendan Vacations tour gave us plenty of free afternoons to explore Dublin's Temple Bar area at our own pace or simply relax at the Riu Plaza The Gresham Hotel."
What types of accommodations can seniors expect on these tours?
You'll stay in 4-star hotels located near city centers and main attractions. Popular choices include The Croke Park Hotel in Dublin and the Macdonald Houstoun House in Edinburgh. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were well-chosen for comfort and convenient locations especially The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London which was magnificent."
What medical facilities/assistance is available during the tour?
Your tour directors know first aid and keep updated lists of local medical facilities. The major cities offer excellent healthcare options with modern hospitals and clinics. Hotels such as Clayton Hotel Dublin and Hilton York are near medical facilities. A TourRadar traveler shared: "When I needed a doctor in Edinburgh our guide quickly arranged a visit to a nearby clinic."
What is the typical age range for seniors tours in England and Ireland?
Most travelers on these tours are between 57-62 years old though many tours welcome guests up to age 80. The Insight Vacations "Romantic Britain & Ireland" tour is a good example with an average age of 57 and stays at places like the Crowne Plaza Edinburgh Royal Terrace and Clayton Hotel Dublin. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Greg works very hard at making the experience suitable for all ages and abilities."
