- Escorted Small-Group Tours -

These trips are typically 10-days in duration. We aim for a total group size of 4-12 people per tour. The tours explore either a specific area of Britain or revolve around a particular theme. Staying in Bed and Breakfasts or small inns for several days at a time allows us to spend a minimal amount of time sitting in a coach and the maximum amount of time exploring. We aim to keep the pace relaxed, allowing you ample time to drink in the sights, sounds and atmosphere.

We currently have tours going to the Peak District area in the North of England, the Yorkshire Moors and Dales, the castles and mountains of north Wales, and the delightful scenery of south Wales. For more information about our tours, go to Tours.
