On this Escape, the traditions and intrigue of Britain are calling you. Experience the fascinating cities and countryside of this beautiful land without the crowds—and even better—without the high-season prices. A concise Britain guided tour takes you to the historical must-see sites from London to Edinburgh. History buffs will delight in seeing mysterious, prehistoric Stonehenge (just imagine how those stones got there!); the Roman Baths in Bath, constructed around 70 AD and today one of the best-preserved Roman remains in the world; Liverpool, once a great Victorian city and Atlantic seaport, and renowned as the birthplace of the Beatles; and Edinburgh, with its medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town.Literary fans will enjoy visiting Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, and Grasmere, home to William Wordsworth. But that's not all…a London Guide will show you all the city’s famous landmarks, from Buckingham Palace to the Prime Minister’s Downing Street and Westminster Abbey; and in Edinburgh you’ll tour the castle and see Scotland’s Crown Jewels—all the better experience without the long lines and crowds. For the conclusion of your vacation, travel via first-class express train back to London for one night. From the historical landmarks to the beautiful scenery, this guided tour of England and Scotland is a great way to sample what Britain has to offer and it’s all possible at a price you can afford!

The trip was excellent and so much to see in England even in the winter! Some of our hotel rooms could have been nicer and more updated based on our experience with globus in the past. Overall it was an excellent trip!

My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves. This was our first organized tour, we usually do self-catered touring, but since we are older we wanted someone else to take charge. GlobusGo did just that. Our guide and our driver were both very professional. The only negative areas was 1) the hallways at the Waterloo Plaza were very dark, 2). The city guide in London was too intense and not interesting, 3) bus rides were too long between stops Positives 1) Bath was charming as was Grasmere, 2) our city guide in Edinburgh was knowledgeable and entertaining, 3) the train trip back to London was fantastic, and the hotel in Kensington was great. In summary, we would take another tour with Globus and recommend you to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful trip

We had a fabulous tour guide, Julienne and driver, Steve. Except for being colder weather-wise, the trip exceeded expectations.

Though this trip was short my family and I immensely enjoyed our tour of England and Edinburgh, Scotland. I would so like to come back and explore more.
