Taste of Britain

If you enjoy the art of travelling in comfort and style then a Premium Escorted Tour is for you.

You’ll travel in a group that is restricted to around 40 fellow travellers.

Travel is aboard a state of the art motorcoach with air-conditioning, on-board WiFi, reclining seats and oversized windows. For your comfort there is an emergency washroom on-board too.

An experienced tour manager will lead the tour and your coach will be expertly driven by a professional driver.

In certain cities you’ll be joined by a local guide who will provide local insight and show you the highlights.

These tours are fully inclusive of first class/superior class accommodation, transportation, admission fees and most meals.

Savvy travellers appreciate that these tours have no hidden extras – all the ingredients needed for a great tour are included in the tour price. There are no optional extras for you to budget for during your holiday.

The group will stay together in first class or superior tourist class hotels. Each has been carefully selected for comfort, quality and ambiance located in the best locations close to the shopping areas and the key sights.

You will discover a pleasant balance of familiar brand hotels such as Hilton, Marriott and Accor together with locally owned family-run hotels.

In rural locations your accommodation will be in the best available hotels. A full hotel list will be provided as part of your Tour Documentation.

Staged every year as part of the world-famous Edinburgh Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a unique and memorable celebration of music, dance and military pageantry.  

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the floodlit Edinburgh Castle, almost a thousand musicians, pipers, drummers, singers, and dancers perform at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the Esplanade.

One of the most memorable moments is the stirring performances of the Massed Pipes and Drums and Military Bands that emerge from beneath the portcullis gate, playing the rousing battle tunes of Scotland's famed regiments.  

As the show unfolds, there are spectacular displays from the many overseas performers who bring a flavour of their national culture through music and dance.  

This unforgettable spectacle is brought to an emotional and poignant close each evening as a lone piper, spotlit high on the castle ramparts, plays a haunting lament.

A mass chorus of Auld Lang Syne and the dazzling march out brings the curtain down on a truly memorable night's entertainment. 

On an Escorted/Premium Escorted Tour you’ll not be travelling for much more than two hours without a stop.

There are washrooms/toilets at each stop and most coaches are equipped with on-board toilets, however for safety reasons their use is restricted whilst the coach is in motion.

You can bring one suitcase and one carry-on bag per person.

The maximum weight allowance and luggage dimensions varies by tour so you should check the tour documentation for the luggage policy that applies to your tour.
