Arrive in London
London Heathrow (LHR) to your hotel in central London
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : London
Fly into London Heathrow (LHR), where a driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the drive into central London, about an hour depending on traffic. If you are already in London or arrive by train, make your own way to the hotel.
Soir
Most flights from North America land in the morning, so the afternoon is yours to rest off the night flight or take a first walk along the river. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group at the hotel for a briefing on the eleven days ahead: two trains, one minibus, three nations, what to pack in a day bag and how the luggage moves. Then we walk to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner together. London rewards a spare day, so if you can, arrive a day early; we can book the extra night at the same hotel.
Compris
- Private transfer from London Heathrow (LHR)
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Welcome dinner
Temps libre : Free until the 6 pm briefing
The Tower, the Thames and Westminster
Tower of London, by boat to Westminster, then Westminster Abbey and Whitehall
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : London
- En bateau
We are at the Tower of London when it opens, at 9 am on most days, and go straight to the Crown Jewels before the queue builds. A Yeoman Warder tour follows, then the White Tower, begun by William the Conqueror after 1066, with the royal armouries inside.
Matin
Late morning we take a boat up the Thames from Tower Pier to Westminster, under London Bridge, past the City, St Paul's dome, the South Bank and the London Eye: the easiest way to see the river front on a first full day.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal near Westminster. In the afternoon your guide takes you through Westminster Abbey, where English and British monarchs have been crowned since 1066, then out past the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Whitehall to Trafalgar Square.
Soir
The evening is free for a West End show, a pub supper or an early night.
Compris
- Tower of London at opening: the Crown Jewels, a Yeoman Warder tour and the White Tower
- Thames boat from Tower Pier to Westminster
- Sit-down lunch near Westminster
- Westminster Abbey with your guide
- Walk past the Houses of Parliament and along Whitehall to Trafalgar Square
Activités en option
- A West End show in the evening (tickets on request, price shown at booking)
Option plus facile : Skip the walk up Whitehall and take a taxi from the Abbey back to the hotel.
Temps libre : Evening free
Activité : About 8 to 10 km on foot through the day, with stairs in the White Tower. Westminster Abbey is closed to visitors on Sundays, so departures start Monday to Thursday and day 2 is never a Sunday.
Oxford and the Cotswold villages
London Paddington by train to Oxford, then Burford, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and Lower Slaughter to Stow-on-the-Wold
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Stow-on-the-Wold
- Environ 2 h de route
We leave London by train: about an hour from Paddington to Oxford, standard class, with the group and your guide. Our minibus and driver meet us at Oxford station and stay with us as far as York. Your guide walks you through central Oxford: Broad Street, the Sheldonian Theatre, designed by Christopher Wren and opened in 1669, the Old Schools Quadrangle of the Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Square and the Bridge of Sighs, then into Christ Church for Tom Quad, the cathedral and the Great Hall.
Après-midi
Lunch is in a pub in Burford, at the top of its long sloping high street. In the afternoon we drive west into the Cotswolds: Bibury's Arlington Row, a terrace of weavers' cottages by the River Coln, then Bourton-on-the-Water and Lower Slaughter on the River Eye, timed for the late afternoon when the coach parties have gone.
Soir
We reach Stow-on-the-Wold, a hilltop wool town, in time for a free evening on its square.
Compris
- Standard-class train from London Paddington to Oxford
- Guided walk of central Oxford: the Sheldonian Theatre, the Bodleian quadrangle and Radcliffe Square
- Christ Church: Tom Quad, the cathedral and the Great Hall
- Pub lunch in Burford
- Bibury and Arlington Row
- Bourton-on-the-Water and Lower Slaughter
Option plus facile : Stay with the minibus in Bourton-on-the-Water instead of the short field-path walk to Lower Slaughter.
Option plus active : Walk the 1.5 km field path from Lower Slaughter to Upper Slaughter while the minibus waits.
Temps libre : Evening free in Stow-on-the-Wold
Activité : You lift your own suitcase onto the train at Paddington. Christ Church Great Hall closes some lunchtimes and for college events; if it is closed, your guide swaps in the cathedral cloister and Christ Church Meadow. Christ Church restricts visiting on Sundays, so day 3 is never a Sunday.
Stonehenge and Bath
Stow-on-the-Wold across the Marlborough Downs to Stonehenge, then Bath
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Bath
- Environ 3 h de route
Après-midi
We leave Stow at 8 am and drive south through Cirencester and over the Marlborough Downs to Stonehenge, about two hours, for a timed entry around 10 am, ahead of the midday crowds. A shuttle runs from the visitor centre to the stones, or you can walk the 2 km across the open grassland with your guide. The great sarsen circle was raised about 4,500 years ago, and Stonehenge has been on the UNESCO list, together with Avebury, since 1986. From there it is about an hour west to Bath for a sit-down lunch in the centre. In the afternoon we visit the Roman Baths, where hot spring water still flows into the Great Bath, then your guide walks you up through Georgian Bath to the Circus and the Royal Crescent, built between 1767 and 1774.
Soir
The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the evening is yours to explore it.
Compris
- Stonehenge with a timed entry and the visitor centre exhibition
- Sit-down lunch in Bath
- The Roman Baths
- Guided walk of Georgian Bath: Bath Abbey, the Circus and the Royal Crescent
Activités en option
- An evening at the Thermae Bath Spa rooftop pool (book ahead, price shown at booking)
Option plus facile : Take the shuttle bus both ways at Stonehenge, and ride back to the hotel after the Roman Baths.
Option plus active : Walk the 2 km from the visitor centre to the stones across the grassland, and the shuttle back.
Temps libre : Evening free in Bath
Activité : About 2 hours from Stow to Stonehenge and 1 hour on to Bath. Stonehenge entry is by timed ticket, which we book for the group.
Into Wales by the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Bath north through Shropshire to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen, then over the Horseshoe Pass to Conwy
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Conwy
- Environ 4.5 h de route
This is the trip's one long day on the road, about four and a quarter hours of driving, so we break it twice.
Matin
We leave Bath at 8 am and head north up the M5, with a coffee stop in Shrewsbury after about two hours, then cross into Wales and reach the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen late in the morning, about three hours of driving from Bath. Thomas Telford's cast-iron trough, opened in 1805, carries the Llangollen Canal 38 m above the River Dee, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk across on the towpath, 307 m with a railing on the outer side and the canal on the other, and watch the narrowboats slide over the valley.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in Llangollen, beside the river. The last stretch is short, about an hour and a quarter over the Horseshoe Pass and across the Vale of Clwyd to Conwy, arriving by about 4 pm. Conwy is our base for two nights, a walled town with the castle a few minutes' walk from the hotel.
Compris
- Coffee stop in Shrewsbury
- Walk across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
- Sit-down lunch in Llangollen
- The Horseshoe Pass and the Vale of Clwyd
Option plus facile : If heights are not for you, watch from the canal basin at Trevor at the foot of the aqueduct instead of walking across.
Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free in Conwy
Activité : The longest drive of the trip, over the 4-hour guide, because Bath to North Wales cannot be split without an extra night. It is broken by a coffee stop in Shrewsbury after about two hours, then the aqueduct walk and a sit-down lunch after about three; the last leg to Conwy is about an hour and a quarter.
Caernarfon, the slate country and the Llanberis Pass
Conwy to Caernarfon, Llanberis and the Llanberis Pass, back through Betws-y-Coed
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Conwy
- Environ 2.5 h de route
We drive about 45 minutes west to Caernarfon Castle and go in as it opens. Edward I began it in 1283, with banded stone walls and many-sided towers, and in 1969 it was the setting for the investiture of the Prince of Wales; with Conwy, Harlech and Beaumaris it forms the UNESCO listing of King Edward's castles and town walls in Gwynedd. Then we turn inland to Llanberis, the slate country at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), at 1,085 m the highest mountain in Wales. The National Slate Museum fills the old Dinorwig quarry workshops, with a giant waterwheel and slate-splitting demonstrations, and the terraced quarry faces rise above Llyn Padarn. The slate landscape of north-west Wales joined the UNESCO list in 2021.
Soir
After lunch in Llanberis we drive up the Llanberis Pass to Pen-y-Pass, down through Capel Curig and Betws-y-Coed, and home along the Conwy valley for a free evening.
Compris
- Caernarfon Castle at opening
- National Slate Museum, Llanberis
- Sit-down lunch in Llanberis
- The Llanberis Pass, Capel Curig and Betws-y-Coed
Activités en option
- The Snowdon Mountain Railway from Llanberis towards the summit of Yr Wyddfa (seasonal, weather permitting, price shown at booking)
Option plus facile : Stay at the Slate Museum and the Llyn Padarn lakeshore while the active group walks.
Option plus active : A guided walk up through the quarry paths to the Dinorwig viewpoints above Llanberis, about 4 km with a steady climb.
Temps libre : Evening free in Conwy
Activité : Castle stairs and uneven quarry paths. The weather in Eryri (Snowdonia) changes quickly; bring a waterproof.
Conwy Castle, then north to the Lakes
Conwy Castle and the town walls, then the A55 and M6 north to Ambleside
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Ambleside
- Environ 3.5 h de route
Conwy Castle opens at about 9:30 and we are there for it, with an hour inside: eight round towers, the Great Hall and the view from the battlements over the estuary, the harbour and Thomas Telford's suspension bridge of 1826. Then we walk a stretch of the town walls, which still run almost complete for about 1.3 km around the old town, with 21 towers and three gateways. A short stop on the quay shows you the tiny red Quay House, often called the smallest house in Great Britain.
Après-midi
Late morning we drive east along the A55 and north up the M6, about three and a half hours with a stop on the way for lunch on your own, to Ambleside at the head of Windermere. We arrive in the middle of the afternoon, our base for two nights. The rest of the day is free: walk down to the lake at Waterhead or up to Stock Ghyll Force, a waterfall ten minutes from the town centre.
Compris
- Conwy Castle at opening
- Walk on Conwy's medieval town walls
- The quay and the Quay House
Activités en option
- A Windermere cruise from Waterhead in the late afternoon (price shown at booking)
Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free in Ambleside
Activité : The castle has steep spiral stairs to the towers; you can stay on the ground level and the walls have short stepped sections.
Grasmere, a fell walk and the Ullswater steamer
Ambleside to Grasmere, then over the Kirkstone Pass to Glenridding and by boat down Ullswater to Pooley Bridge
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Ambleside
- Environ 1.5 h de route
A short drive to Grasmere for Dove Cottage, where William Wordsworth lived from 1799 to 1808 and wrote many of his best-known poems, with the Wordsworth Grasmere museum beside it. Then the walk: an easy fell walk on Loughrigg Terrace, a broad path above Grasmere and Rydal Water with the view back up the valley, about 6 km and 2 to 2.5 hours, with one steady climb of about 100 m.
Après-midi
Lunch is in Grasmere village, with a stop at the gingerbread shop by St Oswald's Church, where Wordsworth is buried. In the afternoon we drive over the Kirkstone Pass, the highest road pass in the Lake District, to Glenridding at the head of Ullswater, and board one of the Ullswater 'Steamers' for the length of the lake to Pooley Bridge, about an hour on the water with Helvellyn behind us.
Soir
The minibus meets us there, and dinner tonight is together in Ambleside.
Compris
- Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Grasmere museum
- Guided fell walk on Loughrigg Terrace above Grasmere and Rydal Water
- Lunch in Grasmere
- The Kirkstone Pass
- Ullswater steamer from Glenridding to Pooley Bridge
- Dinner together in Ambleside
Option plus facile : Walk the level lakeside path along Grasmere and back instead of the climb to Loughrigg Terrace, about 3 km.
Option plus active : Carry on from Loughrigg Terrace to the summit of Loughrigg Fell, 335 m, for the view over Windermere, adding about an hour.
Activité : Walking boots or shoes with grip for the fell path, and a waterproof: the Lake District is the wettest corner of England.
Through Wensleydale to York
Ambleside to Hawes and Aysgarth Falls in the Yorkshire Dales, then York
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : York
- Environ 3.5 h de route
Matin
We leave the Lakes after breakfast and cross into the Yorkshire Dales by Sedbergh and Wensleydale, stopping in the market town of Hawes for coffee and at Aysgarth Falls, where the River Ure drops over a run of broad limestone steps, a short woodland walk from the car park.
Après-midi
From there it is about an hour and a half to York, arriving for a sit-down lunch, about three and a quarter hours of driving in all. In the afternoon your guide takes you into York Minster, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe, finished in 1472, to see the Great East Window and the Chapter House. Then we climb onto the medieval city walls, which still circle much of the old city, and come down into the Shambles, a crooked street of overhanging timber-framed houses.
Soir
The evening is free in York, our base for one night.
Compris
- Hawes in Wensleydale
- Aysgarth Falls
- Sit-down lunch in York
- York Minster with your guide
- Walk on York's city walls and through the Shambles
Option plus facile : Skip the walls and stay in the Minster precinct or the hotel.
Temps libre : Evening free in York
Activité : York Minster can close parts of the building for services and events; your guide adjusts the order of the afternoon.
York to Edinburgh by train
York station by train along the East Coast to Edinburgh Waverley, then the Old Town
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du soir
- Nuit : Edinburgh
- En train
Matin
A free morning in York: walk the Shambles before the shops open, visit the National Railway Museum, which is free to enter, or climb the 275 steps of the Minster's central tower on its own ticket. The minibus takes our bags and us to York station late morning, where we say goodbye to our driver. The train north takes about two and a half hours on the East Coast Main Line, past Durham Cathedral on its hill, over the Tyne at Newcastle and along the Northumberland coast, with the sea on the right, through Berwick-upon-Tweed into Scotland.
Après-midi
We reach Edinburgh Waverley in the early afternoon, in the valley between the Old Town and the New Town, and walk to the hotel. Later a local guide leads us along the Royal Mile from the castle esplanade towards Holyrood, through the closes and wynds of the Old Town and past St Giles' Cathedral.
Soir
Tonight is our farewell dinner together.
Compris
- Standard-class train from York to Edinburgh Waverley
- Guided walk of Edinburgh's Old Town and the Royal Mile with a local guide
- Farewell dinner
Activités en option
- The York Minster tower climb (275 steps, own ticket, price shown at booking)
Temps libre : Morning free in York
Activité : You lift your own suitcase onto the train; the guide helps the group with bags at both stations. Sit on the right-hand side heading north for the sea views.
Edinburgh Castle and goodbye
Edinburgh Castle, then Edinburgh Airport (EDI) or Waverley station
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 30 min de route
Edinburgh Castle opens at 9:30 and we hold the first timed entry, so we reach the top of the rock before the main crowds arrive. Your guide takes you to the Honours of Scotland, the oldest crown jewels in the British Isles, to St Margaret's Chapel, built in the 12th century and the oldest building in Edinburgh, through the Great Hall and the Scottish National War Memorial, and out to the ramparts for the view north over the New Town to the Firth of Forth. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, and from the battlements you can see why. The trip ends on the castle esplanade at about 12 noon. Anyone flying out rides with the minibus to Edinburgh Airport, about 30 to 40 minutes; book a flight leaving after about 3 pm, or stay on in Edinburgh: our Scotland trip starts here.
Compris
- Edinburgh Castle at first timed entry with your guide: the Honours of Scotland, St Margaret's Chapel and the Great Hall
- Private transfer to Edinburgh Airport (EDI)
Option plus facile : Stay on the lower levels of the castle and meet the group at the Great Hall; the climb up the castle rock is steep and cobbled.
Activité : Book a flight leaving after about 3 pm. Extra nights in Edinburgh can be added at the trip hotel.

Faune et météo : April to October brings long days, up to about 17 hours of daylight in Edinburgh in June, and every site open. Rain is possible in any month, most of all in Snowdonia and the Lake District, so each walking day has a lower-level option. July and August are the busiest and dearest months; May, June and September are quieter.

Questions
What does the price include?
Ten nights in central hotels, 10 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 3 dinners, both trains (London to Oxford and York to Edinburgh), our own minibus and driver in between, airport transfers at each end, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, Caernarfon and Conwy castles, the Ullswater steamer, York Minster and Edinburgh Castle.
How big is the group?
The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That fits one minibus, which can use Cotswold lanes, castle car parks and the Lake District passes that a coach cannot, and everyone can hear the guide in a castle tower or a college quad.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the London welcome briefing to the Edinburgh Castle morning and leads every walk and visit, with a professional driver at the wheel from Oxford to York. Yeoman Warders at the Tower and a local guide in Edinburgh's Old Town join us there. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.
Is 11 days enough for England, Wales and Scotland?
For a first look, yes. The 19 to 27-day Britain tours add free days in Oxford and Liverpool and extra cities. We keep London, Oxford and the Cotswolds, Bath and Stonehenge, North Wales, the Lake District, York and Edinburgh, with two nights in London, Conwy and the Lakes. If you want slower, take our separate England, Wales or Scotland trips.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate. Most days are 5 to 10 km on pavements, cobbles and castle stairs. Day 8 has an easy fell walk of about 6 km with a 100 m climb, with a flat lakeside option, and you lift your own suitcase onto two trains. The aqueduct walk on day 5 is optional if you dislike heights.
I am travelling solo. What is the single supplement?
A room of your own is from CAD 1,565 more, about 17 percent of the trip price, shown before you book with no surprise at checkout. Solo guests get the same room standard and the same seat in the minibus as everyone else.
How long are the drives?
Most driving days are 1.5 to 3.5 hours. The long one is day 5, Bath to Conwy, about four and a quarter hours: a coffee stop in Shrewsbury after two hours, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and lunch in Llangollen after three, then a short last leg. London to Oxford and York to Edinburgh go by train.
When is the best time to go?
The trip runs from April to October, when every site is open and the days are long, up to about 17 hours of daylight in Edinburgh in June. May, June and September are the sweet spot; July and August are busiest. Rain is possible in any month, especially in Snowdonia and the Lake District.
Do I need a visa for the UK?
Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for a tourist visit, but they do need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for online before you fly. Wales and Scotland are part of the UK, so there are no border checks inside the trip. Other passports: check before you book and we will help.
How does booking work?
Pick a start date and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, with taxes, from CAD 9,195 for the small group.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, trains and entries.
Should I add nights in London or Edinburgh?
We suggest it. Most flights from North America land in the morning, so a night before day 1 makes the start easier, and Edinburgh deserves more than one evening. We can book extra nights at the trip hotels in both cities.
