Coach holidays in the UK: FAQs

Where do you meet the coach.

The departure point depends on the trip. For instance, day trips from London will usually pick up at Victoria Coach Station, a convenient hub for most Londoners (including the King and Queen - it’s just down the road from their pad. Take a look behind you next time you’re on board - you never know). Other trips will list meeting points, and there’s a good range so you can find somewhere convenient to you.

What are the best coach holidays for over 60s in the UK?

There are coach tours to suit all tastes, from sightseeing in a national park to a quick city getaway, and there’s a UK destination that will fit any bill. Of course, everyone has different tastes, and it’s difficult to pick one out above all others. This is why we selected a dozen - there’s bound to be something here for everyone.

Is coach travel eco-friendly?

The good news about coach travel is that it’s far more friendly to the planet than planes. That’s pretty much a given. On top of this though, it’s better than car travel (think of all the motors it takes off the roads) and it’s even a little bit bitter than train travel. Pick the right company, and you might find hotels that use renewables, which are growing in popularity.

It’s a great time to be an over-60-year-old coach traveller here in the UK. There’s simply no need to go further afield, to Europe or beyond. On these shores, you can find plenty of terrific holidays offered by ABTA-bonded specialists who will cater for the specific needs of 60+ tourists, with special attention given to the single traveller’s requirements.

Winter outings

In the cold of January and February, it’s often the case that we hanker for a quick jaunt out to enjoy something that’s not too weather-dependent. Try these two, which both strike out from London. 

1. Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath 

This day trip to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath gives centuries of appeal, all in one day.

After exploring the largest occupied castle in the world, the tour whisks you to the enigmatic - nay, utterly baffling - site of Stonehenge, where you can join the endless list of travellers throughout the ages who have stood and wondered what on earth these were erected for (a bit like we all did a few years ago with the Millenium Dome). Then there’s the city that’s as famed for its bonnetry as for its baths, that’s the one-and-only UNESCO city in the UK, glorious Bath. 

Thousands of years of history in one day and back to London by 7pm. That’s what you call value. 

2. Royal London Tour

While we’re talking about London, if you’ve always fancied spending a right regal day in the capital, you’ll love this experience . You get to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and drive past the Palace of Westminster and the Royal Albert Hall. 

The best bit, though, is in the afternoon, when you get to sample the delights of afternoon tea in a cafe tucked into one of the most magnificent buildings in England - Westminster Abbey. After all that royal touring in the morning, an afternoon tea here is the answer to anyone’s prayers.

Springing forth

When the weather starts to improve, it’s lovely to venture out and see the natural world coming back to life. Here are two very contrasting views of it, with a couple of castles thrown in for good measure. Well, it’s the fort that counts. 

3. Llandudno, Snowdonia and Caenarfon 

One of the wildest corners of the UK can be found in North Wales, where Snowdonia awaits the intrepid explorer with its rugged peaks and magnificent lakes. This is the perfect spot for a springtime trip, and this holiday gives you the very best of the region crammed into a four-night stay in the Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno, in the beautiful Marine Hotel overlooking the Irish Sea.

Included are trips to world-famous mountaineering country, including Betws-y-Coed and Conwy, and Caernarfon Castle, one of the best fortresses in the business. There’s also an optional excursion to Anglesey, for those hankering for some island life. 

4. Canterbury corner

Not for nothing is Kent known as the Garden of England, and you can’t beat an English garden in the spring. Kent has an aesthetic appeal that makes it look like Capability Brown had a hand in just about every part. This is especially the case with the 500-acre wonderland that surrounds the misleadingly named Leeds Castle, which is to be found close to Maidstone rather than in West Yorkshire, as you’ll find out on this quick coach trip out to heaven and back. 

As well as this picturesque stronghold, you’ll get to see Canterbury Cathedral, one of the most important buildings in Britain, being the Anglican headquarters and the objective of Chaucer’s fabled travellers. Finally, you’re given your chance to get all Dame Vera when you see one of the most inimitable symbols of Great Britain, the white cliffs of Dover. Stirring stuff. 

Summer by the sea

For many, this is the quintessential UK holiday. So get your bucket and spade. Ours is a Mr Whippy. 

5. Weekend in Devon

Mention Torquay to those of a particular vintage, and a certain hotelier silly-walks his way into the mind, usually hotly in pursuit of a hapless Catalan waiter. It should go without saying, though, that the English Riviera has so much more to it than being just the setting for Mr Fawlty’s unique operation. This weekend in the Trecarn Hotel in Babbacombe will convince you of it.

You’re excellently placed to enjoy all that this seaside wonderland has to offer, so it’s a great trip for the summer months. Included is a trip to the bustling city of Exeter, and there’s an optional trip to the jewel of East Devon, Sidmouth, which is like a little secret that nobody has let you in on, until now. This is why visitors are asked to sign a secrecy clause on leaving this simply gorgeous Regency town by the sea. 

6. Welsh seaside

The UK has, of course, more than its fair share of fabulous seaside resorts. From the vast sandy stretches of Scotland to the balmy coves of the Isle of Wight , we are truly blessed in Britain in this regard. For our money though, one of the finest seaside experiences to be had is over in Porthcawl, a lovely resort nestled right on the edge of the outstanding Glamorgan Heritage Coast. 

This coach trip to the Principality takes you to this enchanting part of the country for a good old-fashioned seaside holiday, with trips to Cardiff and Swansea thrown in for good measure. Blooming bendigedig , as they say in Wales. Well, the ones who can speak Welsh do. 

Autumn destinations

As the nights draw in, it’s tempting to think cosy, and there’s not much cosier than Downton Abbey. There’s a good deal cosier than a night among Yorkshire ghouls however…

7. Cotswolds and Downton

Not every holiday gives you the chance to tread in the footsteps of our nation’s most popular PM and our nation’s most popular aristocratic dynasty. Take this coach to the Cotswolds , and you’ll be rewarded with an experience you’ll never forget. 

Where you’re headed is, ultimately, the incredible sight of Blenheim Palace, truly one of the world’s greatest stately homes. Think Versailles, but one or two less fountains, no language barrier and easier to get to. It’s the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough, and the birthplace of one Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, the inspiration both for a country torn into tatters by wartime strife and that nodding dog on the television. 

However, before checking out where baby Winnie had his nappies changed, you’ve got an earlier treat to experience. You’ll be taken to Bampton, the very place where Downton Abbey’s village scenes are filmed, and you’ll see Isobel Crawley’s home and the local cottage hospital. The coach then takes you to Bourton-on-the-Water, the unfeasibly gorgeous ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, before you come face to face with Churchill’s old gaff.

8. Scarborough, Whitby and Historic York 

When it comes to Halloween, there’s only one serious contender in terms of places to go. It has to be the singularly scary town of Whitby, famed for its associations with Dracula and for the no-holds-barred fright-fest that takes place there every year. 

This holiday will take you up to a hotel in Scare- sorry, Scarborough, where you’ll stay four nights, and from there, you’ll be taken on an excursion to fascinating York, with its imposing Minster and quirky Shambles (and don’t forget to make tracks for the National Railway Museum). 

And, for those not too terrified to brave it, there’s a journey to the mouth of hell, well, near enough. Actually, Whitby is a fantastic place to visit, full of interesting little shops and historic corners. The abbey ruins are not to be missed - truly atmospheric and a view to die for. Did somebody say die for? 

OK, Whitby has certainly made a name for itself as the go-to Goth and Steampunk Halloween happening. The streets become thronged with cavorting people enjoying the darker side of life, or just having a nice toffee apple and posing for selfies. 

In all honesty, it’s a fabulous homegrown street carnival, and if you like exciting vibes, then you’ll love Whitby at the end of October. If you like something quieter, venture this way in September. It’s after the tourists have gone, and it’s not too cold. Don’t want you getting any chilling experiences…

Christmas markets

The UK has upped its Christmas game to compete with the market malarkey going on over in Austria and Germany. The two we’ve picked here are particularly good as they offer a surfeit of things to do alongside haggling over a bauble. 

9. Eastbourne with Brighton Christmas Market

This five-day holiday takes you to Eastbourne, one of the relatively unsung gems of the south coast. What a lot of people manage to miss in their rush to reach Brighton and the more celebrated seaside destinations, is that Eastbourne has retained its character and managed to avoid the excesses of modernisation and development that might have befallen some of its neighbours. 

Film fact fans may be interested to learn that this is precisely why it was chosen as the stand-in for 1930s Brighton in the 2010 version of Brighton Rock. While you aren’t guaranteed an encounter with Pinkie or any of his underworld pals, you will certainly experience plenty of historic charm when staying in the magnificent Victorian Queens Hotel overlooking the pier. 

On Day 2, you’ll be whisked over to Brighton to take in all that the infamous seaside resort has to offer, not least its fabulous Christmas market, with over 150 stalls to tempt you into some souvenir-purchasing.

To top it all off, you can do as the Normans did and head to Hastings, where you’ll spend the final full day of your holiday.

10. Bosworth Hall, Stratford and Birmingham Christmas Markets

Up to the midlands now, where you can spend three nights in Bosworth Hall, a fabulously atmospheric and luxurious hotel that’s actually a 17th-century mansion set in 11 acres of landscaped loveliness.

Your days on this sensationally seasonal sojourn will be spent first at one of the biggest and best British Christmas markets, even though it’s actually German-themed (that’s why it’s called the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market). Wooden trinkets and Black Forest crafts are the order of the day, and after some time moseying among the marionettes and miniatures, you’ll be ready to be bowled over by the bratwurst and glued to the gluhwein. 

The next day will see you (Christmas) spirited over to Stratford-on-Avon, Shakey’s hangout. That’s Shakespeare, not Shakin’ Stevens. Sorry to disappoint. Anyway, you’ll be able to see where the bard’s boots actually trod, which is a big deal, and far from Much Ado About Nothing. After that, it’s over to Leamington Spa to check out its festive lights.

That’s all super. But that’s not all. The itinerary promises ‘a place of interest’ on the journey home. Super exciting. If it turns out to be Woodall Services, then we can only apologise. 

Christmas and New Year

If your idea of Christmas agony is having to do all that cooking and washing up yourself, then you might be tempted by a holiday like the first of these two.

11. Highlands Christmas

Try this one: the Fort William Christmas . Festive fun takes place in the magnificent surrounds of the Croit Anna Hotel, perched on the edge of Loche Linnhe. 

For those who like to get a seasonal outdoors fix, the delights of the Western Scottish Highlands wait to be explored, courtesy of excursions to the Ben Nevis range and to Glenfinnan, where you can pay your respects to the Jacobite rebels of ‘45 (i.e. 1745, not 1945 - just in case you were wondering if they had a problem with rationing or they couldn’t bear another radio episode of ITMA).

12. Blackpool Hogmanay 

So, after all that Christmas caper, you’ll be in the mood for a New Year celebration, no doubt. So, off to Edinburgh, is it? Scotland, of course, has its draws, especially around this time of year, but we thought we’d try something a little different. 

The northwest of England tends to be simplified by those who really should know better into a bunch of cities and sports teams (Liverpool, Manchester, St Helens, etc), an incredibly beautiful district full of lakes called, er, the Lake District, and a place which is utterly unlike anywhere else: Blackpool. 

For many years, Blackpool was the number 1 European tourist destination. That’s pretty incredible for a town not necessarily blessed with a climate like that of, say, Italy. But there are solid reasons for its popularity that still exist today. It’s got architectural interest, it’s got an amazing beach, and, more than anything, it’s fun, as you’ll find out on the Blackpool Hogmanay trip, where you can welcome in the New Year amid the revelry that this town is famous for. 

Time to go home

So, we’ve taken you on a whistle-stop (or are these just trains?) tour of UK coach holidays, and you’re probably itching to get out there. We certainly are. The beauty of it all is that, no matter what you want to do, there’ll be a coach holiday for you. Want to discover the quieter corners of Cornwall? Want to be sent to Coventry? Or do you just want to be taken somewhere with tinsel? There’s a tour manager just waiting to take you there. 

We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. We haven’t even mentioned Northern Ireland, for instance, or the award-winning options for self-drive and even river cruises that you can link to a great over 60s UK coach holiday. Wherever you go and whatever you do, whether it’s bashing around Bristol or bobbing about Bournemouth, we hope you have a truly wonderful time.

When is the best time to go on your UK trip?

The best time to visit the United Kingdom is in spring (late March to early June) and autumn (September to November), when it’s usually warm and dry. You’ll see beautiful spring flowers or the leaves changing hue in autumn, and avoid the much busier summer period.

Why choose a small group tour?

Odyssey specialises in educational small group tours , for seniors , typically groups between 6 to 12 people, and no more than 18 travellers. Odyssey has been offering this style of adventure and educational programs, since 1983.

We offer a wide range of educational, cultural and heritage journeys that expand horizons and broaden the mind. Our tours are designed for active, inquisitive travellers in a small group environment.

What's the accommodation like on a group tour?

In major cities, Odyssey stays in centrally located 3-4 star hotels, with easy access to public transport. In smaller towns or rural areas, we usually stay in family-run hotels or guesthouses. On our long stay tours, during which you spend the length of the tour in a single location, we use serviced apartments.

What ages are the group holidays suitable for?

Whether travelling solo, in a couple, or with friends, Odyssey Traveller caters primarily for travellers over 50, over 60, over 70 or 80 years of age. Therefore, your travelling companions are sure to share your interests. They will want similar experiences in an environment of mutual understanding. We design all programs with the mature traveller in mind. Travelling solo does not mean travelling alone, so when there’s free time to explore you’re sure to have another solo traveler or couple ready to join you if you wish. Single travelers make about a third of our groups and many a repeat travelers!

How big are the group sizes on your tours?

Odyssey specialises in educational small group tours , for seniors , typically groups between 6 to 12 people, and averages at 12 participants per tour, a mix of singles and couples.

First solo trip with Odyssey?

Odyssey offers a collection of genuine small group tour(s) Odyssey tours are priced to reflect that these are small group tours. Typically this means you are part of a small group of 6 to 12 people, not part of a group of 18 or more. Small group means you and fellow traveller enjoying an evening meal around one dinner table. So, we do not achieve the economies of scale of 18 plus on a coach that a larger tour operator would offer, because this is not the type of trip or touring experience our clients seek from us.

Odyssey tours are genuinely based around;

• A Small group tour of less than 18 people for the mature traveller as holidays for a couple and holidays for solo travellers over 50.
• Knowledgeable local expert guides and a great tour leader who has an interest in the theme of the tour.
• Inclusive pricing, including all entrances, tipping and the majority of meals included. That means, no hidden extras with respect to cost. Transparent pricing of the single supplement for the single traveller.
• A learning based escorted tour with a like minded fellow traveller.
• Accommodation in 3 & 4 star hotels and self catering apartments.
• A blend of group learning, touring activities and free time to explore a place further, whether on a discovery or walking holiday program.
• No name badges or flags to follow when out and about.
• Travel to places that extend your learning and curiosity, often where others will not follow.
• Spending typically between 60 to 85% of the operating cost of the tour in the country visited, benefiting the local communities directly.

Do you have any other holidays that aren't with a group?

Odyssey welcome enquiries for private groups, at a minimum of 6 participants.

What is a small group tour?

Tours typically span between two to three weeks in duration. An Odyssey small group tour seeks to stay typically 2 to 3 nights in each location in good 3 or 4 star hotels. These are an escorted tour that have evolved to be a good blend of touring and seeing. As well as opportunities to spend time in key places to take a half or full day break from the group enabling you should you with to be a solo traveller for a few hours or explore with a travelling companion a particular place or take time out for a break, before we travel on to our next destination. For the solo traveller , Odyssey has a expansive range of holidays for solo travellers over 50 to choose from, though we do not offer a regular river cruise or a dedicated solos holiday or solo travel tours.

For the solo traveller there is a single supplement charged on all of Odyssey Travellers small group tour programs.

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Who are Intrepid travellers?

Intrepid adventures are for travellers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're travelling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travellers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m travelling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travellers join because they are travelling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognising that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travellers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travellers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by travelling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re travelling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organised on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re travelling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travellers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.

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.

Essential Britain & Ireland

Covered alot of ground and very busy of course with never enough time, but that was expected. Great driver, found tour director somewhat unenthusiastic - would have liked more concise info on how each day was going to progress and a little more interaction with the group. Hotel Metropole was so hot and too noisy to have window open - most of the hotel rooms were so hot all night. Holiday Inn York room was rather well tread and dirty. Other than that a great trip with excellent meals except the dinner at Holiday Inn York.

Britain and Ireland Experience (12 Days)

Being 1st time travellers to UK this was an excellent introduction, and covered so much in the 12 days (bbutt not too much) Our guide Andrew was excellent, with interesting and informative stories along the way really adding to the experience. Accommodation was surprisingly good (being a Costsaver holiday) and places visited were a great cross section of UK and Ireland. Highly recommended.

Britain and Ireland Delight (Summer, 8 Days)

It was great experience for us!

Best of UK & Ireland

Our tour leader Peter was amazing! He took such good care of us, entertained us with stories, folklore and history everywhere we went. Lee was shadowing and proved to be an amazing guide as well! His stories and history were such a gift! Lee...you're welcome! Paul has got to be the BEST driver in the UK! It was incredible the way he navigated the narrow roads, bridges and entrances without a scratch to the bus! His humour and general good nature made the bus trip a truly memorable vacation! Expat is exceptional! Thank you for the memories and new friends!

The tour was great,we seen so much of the UK,Ireland, our guide Jim Michell was so informative,with the history of the UK you learn so much,there was so many great places we went to its hard to name any one place that was special, but one place i will always remember was going to the Cavern in Liverpool where the Beatles played,and driving down Penny Lane, also we had a great driver..

Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland

We were impressed. Our guide (Kaeleigh) was extremely well informed and provided information and history. The whole process was well organised from booking until the last breakfast. We highly recommend.

The Best of Britain & Ireland

Our tour guide was excellent. She has an amazing grasp of the history, customs, and sites we visited. Our only criticism is that we were rushed through the best sites because of the bus/coach schedule and there was not enough time to visit the site, grab lunch, and/or visit souvenir shops or local vendors. We had barely enough time to quickly hit the highlights and skip some of the more interesting aspects of the location before having to board the coach.

Peter and Minty were wonderful. The tour group got to see and visit many sites and share some excellent experiences. Hotels were clean and well located, but not always accessible. Tour group was large, but Peter managed it nicely. Overall, I was pleased with the tour.

I had a great trip with MacBackpackers! Tim was a fabulous guide and full of information about Scottish history. Would recommend if you are coming to explore Scotland.

UK And Great Britain Coach / Bus Tour Reviews

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.

The driver, Billy, and tour director, Speedy, made the trip very interesting and informative. They were both very helpful. We were disappointed that some of the hotel didn’t really cater for the older tourist with rooms a fair distance from reception, climbing stairs and dragging our luggage.

I really enjoyed the trip
