What our customers ask about England and Scotland Tours for Young Adults
What's the recommended budget for additional expenses during an England and Scotland tour?
Budget about USD 75-100 per day for expenses beyond the base tour cost of USD 208-313 which includes lodging and select meals. This extra money covers entry fees like USD 13 for Hadrian's Wall and USD 12 for Windermere Lake cruises plus meals and souvenirs. Costs tend to run higher in major cities like London and Edinburgh compared to smaller destinations like York where you'll find more budget-friendly options for dining and activities.
What's the best time of year for young adults to visit England and Scotland?
Summer months from June to August bring the best weather and extended daylight hours ideal for exploring places like Edinburgh and Isle of Skye. The spring and fall months (April-May September-October) offer a sweet spot of fewer tourists and better prices while still having good conditions for city walks and Highland adventures. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "We went in late September - had some rain but also beautiful sunny days perfect for exploring the Highlands without summer crowds."
What are the must-see highlights for young travelers in Scotland?
Scotland's top spots include the rugged cliffs of Isle of Skye the famous Jacobite Steam Train route from Fort William walking trails through Glencoe and boat trips on Loch Ness. Edinburgh's Royal Mile and castle are essential stops in the capital. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The landscapes were breathtaking - from the rugged Isle of Skye coastline to the mighty Glencoe mountains. Our guide Rich made every stop fascinating with stories of the area's history and folklore."
What unique cultural experiences are included for young travelers?
Tours blend local traditions with modern culture through Scottish dinners and bagpipe performances in Edinburgh spooky ghost walks in York music heritage tours in Liverpool and whisky tastings at places like Torabhaig Distillery. Visitors can join Gaelic language sessions and street art tours in Bristol. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The cultural experiences felt authentic rather than touristy especially the Scottish dinner where we learned traditional dances."
What are the best social activities for meeting other young travelers in England and Scotland?
Group activities naturally bring travelers together through pub visits on Edinburgh's Royal Mile ghost tours in York and shared Scottish dinners with bagpipe music. Travelers connect while exploring Beatles sites in Liverpool taking boat rides in Oxford and checking out Glasgow's nightlife spots. According to one TourRadar traveler: "Our guide Remi was fantastic at bringing the group together and creating opportunities for everyone to connect whether at local pubs or during activities."
What type of accommodation can young travelers expect on these tours?
Lodging ranges from hostel dorms to hotel rooms based on tour level. Budget-conscious options like Haggis Adventures use hostels such as Black Isle in Inverness while premium providers like Contiki book hotels including Morag's Lodge in Fort Augustus. A past traveler noted: "The hostel in Oban was very nice almost like a hotel. In Portree we had a 4-bed dorm with ensuite which was clean and in a great location."
