Costaver logo

An escorted touring holiday in Britain is an ideal way to appreciate the history and majesty of the UK.  You won't have to worry about driving on the left if you're not used to it or train schedules.

Your Coach Tour of Britain

Your escorted tour of Britain may take you to one or more of the four separate countries in the United Kingdom; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each country has its own unique cultures and traditions, as well as having very distinctive dialects and accents. London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and combines rich history with a world of contemporary design. This city is so vast you would need a few days to get the most out of it. The best way is with a hop-on hop-off double decker bus tour. See the Tower of London and Big Ben, the iconic bell of the famous clock which sits at the Palace of Westminster. Visit the boutiques that line the streets of Knightsbridge, browse the iconic Harrods store, or explore Portobello Road and Camden Market and pick up a bargain. Later, take in a show at London’s West End and revel in the bustling crowds jostling for a place in between all the restaurants, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs. Lastly, take an evening walk to Leicester Square with its vibrant atmosphere of revellers and street entertainers who light up the night sky. Enjoy a night ot two in your London hotel before joining your guided tour of Britain leaving next morning. 

The Historical City of York

Another English gem that is soaked in fascinating history that you may visit on y our guided vacation by coach.  From the Vikings and Romans to the War of the Roses, this extraordinary place has it all. Evidence of medieval times is all around to see; especially The Shambles, a narrow medieval street overlooked by beautifully preserved shop buildings. The majestic York Minster is also not to be missed. Visit the National Railway Museum with its large array of vintage trains, and then enjoy a drink in one of Britain's oldest pubs -The Royal Oak, or most haunted - The Golden Fleece! Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland which offers plenty of wonderful and unique experiences. Enjoy the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle in the summer month of August. Experience some live shows at the world famous Edinburgh arts festival and revel in the party atmosphere.

The Scottish Highlands, Wales and Ireland

On a UK coach holiday, these are a spectacle not to be missed.They will take your breath away as you drive through the many twisting roads and striking scenery. As Scotland's largest whisky region, grab a chance to visit a distillery such as the Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is home to some impressive visitor attractions. Spend a day visiting Cardiff Castle and its exhibits, or immerse yourself in the arts at the Cardiff Bay Millennium Centre. Watch anything from West End musicals and contemporary dance to stand-up comedy and opera, the list is endless.  The Mermaid Quay also houses many wonderful bars and restaurants. The Giant’s Causeway can be found in Northern Ireland on the North Antrim coast and is famous for its unique polygonal basalt columns. Visit the Titanic Belfast, a museum and monument situated close to where the tragic RMS Titanic was built. For a bit more excitement, have a Game Of Thrones experience and join a tour where the award-winning phenomenon is filmed.

England, Scotland and Ireland end Dublin Tour

England, Scotland and Ireland end Dublin

I feel the guides are not wanting to speak to us in English. They would go on and on in Spanish laughing and then 3 or 4 words in English. I was unable to understand Mary our first guide at all. The trip itself was wonderful and beautiful. Loved the bus driver in Ireland he was a better tour guide for me.

Excellent trip. No issues with driver or guide. Couldn’t have asked for better. But it was a very long and hectic schedule. Because of that we probably won’t be going on any long bus trips again.

The Best of Britain & Ireland Tour

The Best of Britain & Ireland

The tour was as advertised “a taste of the UK”,we saw some wonderful sites, beautiful towns/cities & magnificent people.Our tour guide (Peter) gave us interesting facts & antidotes for the places we went to.The accomodation was average but it did the job required (sadly none had separate laundry facilities to catch up with washing).Sometimes you felt rushed other times why are we here for 4 hours(to much shopping time).Overall we had a great time with our fellow passengers & Cosmos looked after us with respect & if given a chance to travel again by coach Cosmos tours will be on our check list.

It was a wonderful trip!

Highland Fling Tour

Highland Fling

Tour was great overall! Alistair and Karis were great guides. One critique we would make: at certain points of the tour, Alistair mentioned: "outdoor style tours" (hiking trails, camping, etc). While we have no issue with these types of tours, the majority of our tour consisted of people over the age of 60 (possibly not the "ideal market" for those kinds of tours). When we booked the tour, we were unaware there was an option to book a hotel instead of staying in a hostel; my dad and I were both uncomfortable staying in a hostel room with women. After 2 nights in a hostel during the tour, we booked a room at a separate hotel.

Celtic Highlights Tour

Celtic Highlights

This was my first trip overseas & traveling alone & I would do it again in a heartbeat. My experience with Globus through the tour director, Peter Dundon, and the bus driver, Ein, will have me traveling again using Globus. From the time we entered the bus each day and exited each night he kept us informed on every city, Castle, ruins, myths, legends, history and more. He had a vast knowledge to share with us and also read poetry and sang local songs. Our bus driver was also very helpful as well as excellent behind the wheel through LOTS of narrow streets. Well done Globus.

What people love about UK And Great Britain Tours

Very nice itinerary ... jam packed days and evenings. I chose not to do any of the extra evening excursions that were offered so I was able to use the time to explore every overnight stop on my own. The tour guide was amazing... so full of knowledge about all the countries/areas we visited.
I really enjoyed the trip

Get straight into holiday mode – California is made for light-hearted living. You can’t fail to have a great time in a place where spotting celebrities is the norm, where the most difficult decision might be picking your favourite juice bar and where there’s a big wave with your name on it breaking just off the beach.

Explorers have plenty of ground to cover on their California trip: nine national parks (including Yosemite, Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Kings Canyon), and terrain so varied that you can spend the morning skiing on Bear Mountain, and your afternoon surfing in Malibu. If you want a family holiday there are theme parks aplenty – including Six Flags, Universal Studios Hollywood, and glittery Disney Land in Anaheim: book a package holiday with us to make life easy.

California is made for multi-centre holidays . There are simply too many great places to visit to confine yourself to just one city or seaside. Luckily, you can sort multiple flights , hotels and cars – all in one booking with British Airways. It’s time to plan that road trip playlist (better include the Beach Boys) and your next epic California holiday – may you have many more.

Make the most of your holiday in California

With so much to see and do in a place as big as California, it can seem a little overwhelming to know where to begin, but with our essential guide to holidaying in the Golden State you’ll soon feel like a California local.

Places to visit in California

Los Angeles  – Home to the stars and buzzing with creative energy, LA offers up the utmost in luxury stays and laid-back beach breaks.

San Francisco  – With its iconic sights and well-known relaxed vibe, San Francisco makes the ideal holiday for those looking for a city break or exploring the delights of Napa and Yosemite.

San Diego  – From its practically perfect climate, San Diego is the place for those wanting to hit the beach (there are more than 60) or try their hand (and legs) at surfing.

San Jose  – There’s much more to San Jose than creative tech hub Silicon Valley. It’s awash with alternative museums and cultural hotspots, plus it’s ideal as a base for exploring northern California.

Where are the best places to stay in California?

Wherever you rest your head, whether it’s in one of California’s cities or by the sea, be sure to check out our California holiday packages – you could bag yourself a cheap break. Look out for Bahia Resort in San Diego, which sits on Mission Bay and overlooks the ocean. This good-value hotel is excellent for family holidays and summer breaks. On the other end of the scale is Fairmont San Francisco , a luxury hotel in the heart of the city.

Best places to eat in California

California serves the world on a plate. You can find some of the best Mexican food north of the border in south Cali – so prepare yourself for plates of soft tacos packed with piquant salsas. LA’s penchant for all things healthy and responsibly-sourced is leaking out into the rest of the state, and on some roads you can’t move for juice bars. You can find practically any cuisine you choose in the cities: visit Chinatown and Koreatown in LA for skilled Asian cookery. And no matter what time you wake up, don’t miss the skillets, pancake stacks and sugar rush of a classic American brunch.

Multi-centre holidays in California

When you fly to California why not take in as many cities as you can? California is a sprawling state; and Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose are all great places to include in your holiday itinerary.

If you fancy going further afield – well, what about Hawaii ? It’s just a five-hour flight away from Cali, after all. Plan the perfect multi-centre US holiday.

Step one: Flights

Find your flights

Choose where you're flying from first, then add your flights to the destinations you want to visit. You can add up to six flights on British Airways multi-centre trips, which can be short stopovers or longer breaks away. Add your flight, then choose the dates you want to move on to your next destination. Select your flight class and ticket type, then your flights are ready to go.

Step two: Hotels

Pick your hotels

Choose your hotel stay to match your flight destinations. Select your check-in dates to either coincide with your flight arrival and your check-out dates and match your next flight departure. Or choose a hotel for part of your stay. Pick how many rooms you need, then add more hotels in the same way for your other destinations. We will offer three packaged results – recommended, lowest price and luxury. You can select your preferred option and then customise it by selecting a different hotel.

Step three: Car

Car hire to suit you

Feeling ready for a road trip? Choose more freedom on your adventure and hire a car for your chance to explore. Select the rental destination for you, whether you want to have a car for each place you visit, or just one destination you go to, the flexibility is yours. Choose to return the car rental to the same location or select a different depot to drop off your car.

Step four: Extras

The best of travel extras

Once you’ve created your trip, take the chance to look at our travel extras. Choose from airport transfers to make your way straight to your hotel, or look at our airport hotels if you have an early flight to catch. Take a look at our experiences, from pre-booking popular attraction tickets, sightseeing tours and activities.
