Day trip to Seven Sisters and South Downs from London with train tickets, minivan transfers, Devil's Dyke, Beachy Head, and lunch.
“Paul is the best guide we have! His story makes the journey full of life and characters. We read the vivid history from Paul through out the day and all ends with stunning view of Seven Sisters.”
Moors, Whitby, and a steam train day trip from York with small-group comfort, great photo stops, and handy guided context for the region.
“Our tour guide, Mark, was so personable and a great historian. Really appreciated his efforts to make sure all of us were comfortable. The ride was beautiful and it was a great, relaxing way to see the countryside and Whitby.”
Eurostar day trip from London to Paris with hop-on hop-off bus pass and reserved seats, flexible sightseeing for about 13 hours.

High-speed train from London to Paris, panoramic bus sights, and a Seine cruise, plus afternoon free time to explore.
“A great way to see Paris for a day if you’re coming from London however keep in mind that there’s little time to do too much more than see a few highlights. We left London at 7:00am and didn’t get to the first stop in Paris until noon. Given that you have to be back for the return train to London at 7:00pm in Paris there’s no time to spare.

“The Lake District is beautiful and a few days there would be fun. But if you do not have that time this tour is a great way to see it. It is very doable in a day. The guide was very nice and full of fun interesting information. I would recommed this tour.”
London to Edinburgh and the Highlands by rail, with Edinburgh Castle, a 24-hour hop-on bus, and a guided Loch Ness and Highlands day.
“The person that arranged our rail trip did not give us accurate or adequate information regarding how to get to our hotel from the train station. We had upgraded our train trip to first class to make sure we had a reserved seat and had that on the trip to Edinburgh but they had not arranged for reserved seat on the way back so we ended up having to jockey for an available seat. It was really an uncomfortable situation. Accommodations were nothing special but comfortable and adequate. The best part of the trip was our trip to the Highlands - our guide was Duncan and he did a very…”
By region, by ritual, and by what the weather is doing.
