Top England Day Trips

Lucy and Dawn were incredible hosts. This trip is a must do! If you’re able, we highly recommend doing the beach hike down the Dover Cliffs. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. We love how this trip gave us plenty of time to explore Dover and Canterbury on our own. Lucy is extremely knowledgeable as she is from the area.

This was a great outing and with an excellent tour guide. Our tour guide was Anne. She is a wealth of knowledge and gave detailed points on various part of the tour. She also has a sense of humor which made the experience that much better. I highly recommend the tour and if you happen to end up with Anne, you are lucky. Ed & Jen Washington State

Apple was an amazing tour guide with a lot of enthusiasm. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The only complaint I would have is if you book on a Sunday, be aware places in Oxford don’t open until 10am or after, and Windsor was closed for the day as well. It was a bit frustrating, but I was able to still have a good time.

Blenheim Palace is a great place to visit. It is undergoing extensive restoration that possibly will take several years. There is scaffolding covering the majority of its facade. The grounds are great to see. Stow-in-the-Wold is a cute little village in the Cotswolds. It is also home to St Edwards Church, which has the doors that are said to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Doors of Durin The Cotswolds themselves are beautiful countrysides and could be something that one could just drive around the hills if you have plenty of time. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, there's a couple of familiar sites at Bampton where they filmed a few scenes. It's a quick visit but Bampton is nice little town

Absolutely outstanding tour. Pauley (guide) & Micky (driver) made sure to optimize our time so that we as a group did not waste time standing in lines waiting for admission into the 3 sites. The tour was very informative, well-managed and superbly executed. Prior to the tour date, communication with their staff was always on point and prompt. (Shout-out to Rina.) I highly recommend this tour and based on our experience, I'd choose any tour operated by this company, including London Hop-on/Hop-off tours.

A jam packed day that takes you past many iconic landmarks! This was so much better than the tour is described to be. And our guide Anna was really funny and educational. The day looks like this. You meet someone at the train station who gives you your ticket and tells you how to board the Eurostar. To board, it's basically like going through TSA, but it's French border patrol so it's got a somewhat chaotic energy. You board the train to your assigned seat and your tour guide finds you in your seat and preps you for the day. We had Anna and she was so great! Friendly, hilarious, informational - really great at her job! The train ride is about 2.5 hours, then you deboard and walk with your guide to a private bus. The bus takes you on a city tour where you go past some major landmarks, like the arc d triomphe. Anna gave us great info about the city, the culture, and personal anecdotes to keep it light. You end up at the Seine river and get on a river boat. This was way better than I expected. The boat is not just for your group - tons of people on the boat, but it was lovely. You see so many great things from the river! Afterwards, you're taken to the Eiffel Tower and if you bought lunch you go up, and if not, you're on your own for a few hours. We did the lunch. It was so great going up the tower! Highly recommend. The lunch is fine, it's more about the experience than the food. You don't get a menu - they feed you a pre-select meal based on your dietary restrictions. And wine if you want it! You have about an hour of free time after to walk around until you meet up again with your group. From there, you take the bus to the Louvre, and you get just about 2 hours of free time, which is not enough time to go in the Louvre. Technically, you can buy a ticket and go in, but the place is so massive that you wouldn't have time to really experience it. There is so much to see and do around there without going in the Louvre, you have no problem finding something you want to do. You meet back up around 6ish and take the bus back to the train station, get on a train around 7pm, and you're back in London around 9:30pm. This trip is not for the mobility impaired! I am able-bodied but had a blister on my foot and that was enough to put me behind. Anna walks FAST and expects you to do the same. There were some older folks and some folks with mobility setbacks that simply could not keep up. Additionally, there are steep stairs to get on and off the bus, which you have to do multiple times. So if you or someone you're with is not in tip-top shape, perhaps look around to see if there are any other tours available that cater to the elderly or are more accessible or have a lighter itinerary that allows for a more leisurely pace. I'm so happy I booked this trip! I recommend it to anyone who is interested in going to Paris for just a day.

The ride to the destinations was smooth. The guide was great and gave us sufficient information. I used this tour as introductory to Oxford and Cotswold. It’s a point A to point B type of tour - you explore on your own once you reach each destination. I purchased a ticket for Christ Church Multimedia self guided tour before arriving London to ensure that I maximize my time in Oxford. After visiting Christ Church, I only had time for a quick lunch before going back to the bus. This tour is for people who want to see 2 places in a limited time.

Frank is an excellent driver and tour guide all in one. He makes this tour super fun and interesting. I was disappointed to learn that we couldn’t go inside Conwy Castle because there was filming going on, but we made the most of the outside views. I was blown away by the beauty of Snowdonia.
