Private customized tour. Ask us about booking your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • On arrival, you're met by your private driver and transported to your centrally located hotel in Bath via a private electric car. In the afternoon you will experience the English tradition of high tea at the Pump Rooms.

  • Today, see Bath's famous historical attractions. Your expert private guide will greet you at your hotel and start the day with you at the Roman Baths. You’ll explore the bathhouse and accompanying exhibits with your guide. You will then visit the Bath Abbey, a beautiful building which has stood since the early 1600s. From the abbey, you’ll walk to the Royal Crescent, one of England’s finest examples of Georgian architecture.

  • Make your own way to the train station for your train to London. In the afternoon, meet your private guide in a traditional black cab for a city tour, passing Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and many other major landmarks. In the evening, you will see a West End theater show.

  • Today, see some more of London's famous historical attractions. Your expert private guide will greet you at your hotel and then accompany you on a brief boat ride on the River Thames, which bisects the city, giving you a grand perspective of the city's unique skyline. Arriving at Westminster Abbey, embark on a guided tour of its many memorials and artifacts. In the afternoon visit the Tower of London, the city's most famous castle, to explore the grounds and see the famed Crown Jewels.

  • Make your own way to the train station for your train to Edinburgh. Once you have checked in, you'll be met by your guide for a walking tour of Edinburgh Old Town. Spend the afternoon exploring the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and the Grassmarket area to get a feel for this beautiful city.

  • Nestled into the foothills of Arthur's Seat, the Palace of Holyroodhouse remains the official residence of the British monarchy while in Scotland. Embark on a self-guided tour of the palace's rooms, giving you an inside look at the monarchy's past.

  • Collect your rental car this morning and travel from Edinburgh toward Pitlochry, nestled just on the outskirts of the Cairngorms National Park. Along the way, stop at Scone Palace, one of Scotland's most historic stately homes and was once where the kings of Scotland, including Macbeth and Robert the Bruce, were crowned.

  • Continue into the national park by driving to Rothiemurchus Estate to spend the day enjoying the great outdoors. Explore the estate by Land Rover with a countryside ranger, and you'll have the opportunity to hand-feed some of the estate’s deer. Later, collect your bike rentals to explore the estate at a leisurely pace as you navigate the circular bike trails on your own.
