My guide, Ambrose was full of information which he dealt out with enthusiasm. He was always polite and helpful. The destinations were great and, what I really like about Rabbie's is that they always go the extra mile. Places that aren't on the itinerary are visited if there is time. I stayed in B&B's which were comfortable,clean and in good locations.

Best tour companies for England tours
Based on our travelers' feedback, Rabbies really stands out for small group tours - they keep things intimate and personal while their guides share local stories that go way beyond the usual tourist facts. Their groups stay small which means you can actually chat with the guide and get those insider tips about hidden spots and local haunts. Explore runs a close second, with guides who clearly love what they do and know their history inside out. Both companies have figured out how to balance being professional with feeling like you're traveling with a knowledgeable friend. Globus does well with the logistics - their hotels are reliably good and the staff handles any issues quickly. They've got their itineraries down to a science, though you'll typically be with larger groups than Rabbies or Explore. Trafalgar covers all the main spots you'd want to see, but some of our customers mention the groups can get pretty big which sometimes leads to waiting around during pickups and transfers. If you're after something more personal where you can really dig into the local culture and history, Rabbies is probably your best bet - they've really mastered that small-group approach. Worth noting that every company has its own style of touring, but these insights come directly from people who've actually taken these tours through us, so you're getting real experiences rather than marketing speak.
Best places to start your England tour
Most people start their tour from London - 52 of our recent travelers did just that. While you can leave from Manchester, Bristol, St Bees and also Ilkley, these aren't as common and don't run as often. The booking sweet spot is about 113 days ahead, especially if you're looking at summer dates or want to stay at Brooks Guest House in Bath during the two-day trips. Our past guests often mention how traveling in a small group means they can stop at local pubs and tea rooms when the moment feels right - these spontaneous breaks often become trip highlights. The smaller numbers also mean more time at each stop and room to work around Britain's unpredictable weather, which really helps when you're dealing with different seasons.

Best time to visit England
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter opens up a quieter side of England, especially on shorter tours through the country's heart. Those 2-day express routes from London show you Windsor Castle and Stonehenge without the usual crowds, and you'll often have Bath's Roman sites nearly to yourself. The Christmas tours to Stratford-upon-Avon add something special - traditional holiday meals, Shakespeare's hometown and also Warwick Castle decked out in medieval holiday style. Our travelers particularly like starting with cream tea and exploring the castle grounds on Boxing Day. These winter routes move at a gentler pace, with proper time to warm up in historic pubs and local tearooms between visits.

- Spring 2026
Spring makes Cornwall and Devon come alive with coastal walks dotted by wildflowers. Our 8-day routes take you from Wells Cathedral right down to Land's End, where our travelers gather to watch Atlantic waves hit the cliffs. The southern coast tours mix maritime history in Portsmouth with walks on the Isle of Wight's rolling downs and visits to Queen Victoria's Osborne House. Everyone seems to love spring at Tregothnan Estate - you can try Britain's only home-grown tea there. The weather's usually perfect for walking Dartmoor, where you'll spot wild ponies and explore old tin mining villages along the trails.

Summer's the time for England's walking and cycling routes to shine. Our Lake District tours keep you based in peaceful Seatoller, with daily hikes up to peaks like Scafell Pike and Cat Bells - travelers really enjoy coming back to the same comfortable hotel each evening. The Hadrian's Wall cycle route shows both coasts while following Roman history; you might catch archaeologists working at Vindolanda fort. London tours mix Thames river cruises with insider visits to Westminster Abbey, Kensington Palace and also Borough Market. The included Oyster Card gets mentioned often in feedback - it's great for exploring independently between guided activities.

Autumn paints England's walking trails in rich colors, especially in the Lake District and along Hadrian's Wall. You can explore Buttermere's woodlands and climb Haystacks from Seatoller when the summer crowds have gone. Our cycling routes find perfect temperatures for crossing the country, following quiet roads through Northumberland's harvest scenes. You'll stop at Roman forts, medieval priories and also local museums along the way. Our travelers often mention how nice it is to take coffee breaks in small village cafes and warm up by pub fires after a good day's walk.
