Itinerary idea in detail

Ask us if you would also like us to arrange your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • Your private driver will meet you at the airport in London and take you to your centrally located hotel. Spend the rest of the day relaxing after your flight.

  • Spend your first full day in London on an orientation tour of the city in a vintage Mini Cooper. Your private driver-guide will collect you from your hotel and whisk you through the lanes of the city, visiting unmissable landmarks along the way. After finding your bearings, spend the rest of the day exploring at your own leisure.

  • Escape the busy streets of London today on a full-day trip to the captivating city of Bath. Hop on a train at Paddington Station and arrive in Bath approximately one and a half hours later. Your guide will meet you at the station and accompany you through the elegant Georgian promenades, taking you to sights such as the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and the Royal Crescent. At the end of your tour, you'll board your train back to London.

  • Say goodbye to England today and take the train to the land of myths, mountains, and dragons — Wales. Arrive in central Cardiff and make your own way to your hotel. The rest of the day is at your leisure.

  • Today, explore the capital of Wales on a walking food tour, sampling the tastes of the city alongside its most famous landmarks including Cardiff Castle and Principality Stadium, the home of Welsh rugby.

  • Experience what lies beyond Cardiff today on a full-day tour of the surrounding region. Your private driver-guide will take you to ancient sites such as Tintern Abbey and share the significant and poignant history of coal mining in Wales at Big Pit National Coal Museum. You can also make a stop at Penderyn Distillery for a taste of some Welsh whiskey.

  • Today you will spend most of the day on a train to reach the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. After a scenic journey through the British countryside, you'll make your own way to your hotel in the heart of the city.

  • After a day of train travel, stretch your legs by wandering through the cobbled streets of Edinburgh. Hike to Arthur's Seat, listen to a local street piper, or visit Edinburgh Castle, before spending the evening in the Old Town, where you will take an atmospheric tour through the underground vaults.

  • Leave Edinburgh behind for the day and venture into the surrounding countryside with your private driver-guide, visiting the castles and palaces that scatter the landscape and have shaped Scotland's history.

  • Your private driver will collect you from your hotel and take you to the airport for your flight to Belfast. When you arrive, your driver will meet you at the airport to take you to your hotel.

  • Belfast is a city brimming with social and political history. Today you will experience the capital of Northern Ireland from a different perspective on a black cab city tour with your private driver-guide. Dive deeper into the city's troubled past and visit parts of the city you may otherwise miss.

  • Today you will be driven along the wild and rugged Antrim Coast toward the Giant's Causeway. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this monumental natural rock formation has inspired artists and storytellers for centuries. Experience the magical landscape as your guide tells you stories of Finn MacCool, an Irish giant who, according to legend, built the causeway to reach the western shores of Scotland.

  • Depart Belfast today and head to your final capital city — Dublin. After a train journey of about two and a half hours, you will arrive in the city with time to explore on your own.

  • There is nothing quite like Irish hospitality, and today your local guide will welcome you to their city by taking you on a private walking tour, exploring sites such as the General Post Office and Trinity College. Later, visit the Guinness Storehouse, the home of "the black stuff", to discover how it is made, enjoy a pint on the roof, and admire panoramic views of Dublin.

  • Some say you haven't experienced Dublin if you haven't joined a pub crawl. Enjoy one with a difference by learning about Irish literary greats such as Oscar Wilde and James Joyce as you make your way from pub to pub. Your guides will share anecdotal and witty stories from Dublin's history and perform passages from well-known literature, all within the walls of a traditional Irish watering hole.

  • Meet your private driver in the hotel lobby to take you to the airport.
