England Art and architecture Trips

The basic itinerary included a day in London at the beginning and end - we'd recommend staying an extra couple of days to see more of one of the world's greatest city. Stratford On Avon, ancient York, and Lake Windemere in the Lake District of England were all eye-opening, unforgettable. Seeing Gretna Green, Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh gave us a sense of knowing Scotland - we were sad to leave. The ferry to Northern Ireland was fun with lots of comfortable furniture and good food and drink. Belfast was an unexpectedly fun city to walk around and make discoveries. Our first time in Dublin was spent shopping and in a couple of great pubs, and walking through Trinity University and seeing the Book of Kels. Waterford's highlight was of course the cocktail reception at Waterford Crystal, and seeing ancient evidence of the Vikings. A giant ferry delivered us back to Wales, to stay a night in Cardiff and see the Castle. On our way back to London we spent a couple of hours wandering one of the world's most well-designed, beautiful cities - Bath. The last stop of the tour was just outside London - Windsor - where we walked up to the royal's castle through the streets of the same-named town. Dropped off at out hotel in a charming walkable neighborhood near Kew Gardens, we had a relaxing dinner at a canal-side cafe and reflected on what great value we had in this trip.

Had a fabulous trip with tralfalgar to the british isles .

It's a great overall taste of these countries. A range of larger and smaller towns, different attractions, and some good exposure to the local cultures.

It was such an amazing trip!

The itinerary was an excellent view of UK especially for people like us who haven't been there before

My trip on the European highlights tour was simply amazing. I made new friends, saw incredible sights, experienced different cultures, and most of all had fun along the way. Each accomodation was unique and supplied all we needed (aside from AC in Germany accommodation, but Europe was going through a strange heatwave at the time). Our tour manager and coach driver were involved and enthusiastic about assisting and having fun with our group. Our guides at different locations were energetic and passionate about their activities which then resulted in good experiences had by all. I’m super grateful to have come on this trip and I’m all the better for it.
