What makes UK tours truly unique is their ability to encompass both ends of the tourism spectrum, with very little travel and time expenditure.
Although tiny compared to countries like the United States and Australia, the UK more than compensates with the diversity of its cities and countryside.
City Breaks
Those looking for the city on UK tours really are spoilt for choice in the United Kingdom.
There are no fewer than ‘66’ official cities in the United Kingdom, a wealth by any country’s imagination.
In London it has a city of international recognition, with a population of over seven million and an unrivalled history and culture.
The UK’s wealth of cities means thorough research is essential in making sure you don’t miss out on anything during your tour.
Perhaps a special mention should be made for Liverpool; selected as the 2008 Capital of Culture and home of the world famous Beatles.
Out to the Country
The UK’s size means you can go from city to countryside in a matter of hours.
Those tours based in London are granted easy access to Kent, the so-called ‘The Garden of England’. An abundance of orchards and hop gardens make Kent a popular choice for those looking for an escape from The Big Smoke.
All UK tours that touch the north of England should encompass a stop in Cumbria and the Lake District. The Lake District plays host to a stunning range of lakes, meres, waters and tarns; as well as some of the most stunning views on offer in the UK.
A popular tour worth considering is the Three Peaks Challenge, which challenges participants to climb the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales.
From international cities to rolling country fields, the UK offers both without having to spend too much of your time travelling!
