If you’re visiting a new country, you’ll probably want to experience as much of it as possible. This is often much easier said than done.
Luckily, many providers offer multi-destination tours - an excellent choice for those looking to see more than one city. With as much or little time as you have on your hands, you can still get the most out of your holiday.
The UK is a wee nation with 4 different countries - England, Northern Island, Scotland, and Wales. If you want to see them all, it’s best to jump on a multi-destination tour. You’ll have easy access to the super-speedy trains and coaches that can get you up and down the country in no time.
There are plenty of tours that tailor to this in the UK, since there are many excellent places to visit outside of London. Take a look at some of the best multi-destination tours across the country.
London to Scotland
Despite being on opposite ends of the country, many people visit Edinburgh from London and vice versa. With the train being fast and affordable, it would be a shame not to try it yourself. Whilst on the journey, you can take in the beautiful British countryside as you ride.
When you’re in Edinburgh, there’s loads for you to see, and you don’t have to stop there - the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands is within easy reach of the capital.
The Scottish Highlands & Islands
If you more time to explore, the epic 10-day Compass Buster is the perfect way to see as much of Scotland as possible. Discover the wild Highlands, ancient castles, and tropical-looking beaches on this adventure across the Isle of Skye, Isle of Lewis and Harris, and Loch Ness. You’ll even get to hop aboard the Hogwarts Express. Yes - it’s real!
London to Liverpool
Just a few hours from London, Liverpool is a great place to visit for a different kind of city. It’s one of the best outside London for music and art. For a taste of Beatlemania, take a trip down memory lane and see where the ‘fab four’ began their story. From locations that inspired the hits, to childhood homes of the Beatles. Once you step foot in Liverpool, you’ll soon realize there’s a lot to explore.
London, Leeds, Canterbury and Dover
If you love the idea of visiting the castles, cathedrals, and cliffs of the UK, this multi-destination tour is for you. Leeds Castle is often called the ‘loveliest castle in the world’ and you’ll get to learn all about its 900-year history on this guided adventure. Visit the equally iconic Canterbury Cathedral as well as the legendary White Cliffs of Dover. Best of all, this tour incorporates a hop-on-hop-off tour of London, so you’ll get to see the very best of the capital in your own time.
