Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, West End shows, and world-class museums.
Overview
About this package
Ten days linking the best of England, Scotland and Ireland — royal London, Edinburgh's medieval skyline, the Scottish Highlands' brooding lochs, and a ferry crossing into Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and Dublin's storied pubs. For travellers who want the complete British Isles story in a single, well-paced journey rather than choosing just one country. Add York's medieval Shambles lanes, a ferry crossing to the Isle of Skye, and Galway's colourful harbourfront pubs, and ten days link England, Scotland and Ireland in one loop.
