Itinerary was generally great it showed a good variety of places/towns so as to give us a sense of life in England historically.
Disappointed we missed the Trooping the Colour (Kings Birthday)…by one day…it would have been nice to kick the tour off a day after this. Luxury Gold should have good knowledge of this event & should have encouraged us to arrive early to see the event & then kicked our tour off. Everyone in our group was disappointed we missed it!

Good itinerary but once again nice hotels and really lower tiered rooms. I was stunned to see the room Luxury Gold booked for our one-night early arrival. It was literally a closet with two twin beds and we were charged $700. We were moved the following night to a nicer room thanks to our travel agent working with Luxury Gold. Tour guide was great and the scenery was amazing. Hotel accommodations were an expensive joke. Rent a car and use Viator
