Centuries of history are put into perspective as you gaze down from your unique perspective 450 feet above the Thames River... truly the world's most exciting observation wheel!
Private tour and lunch at Alnwick Castle
Through the centuries with an early-entry private tour and medieval lunch at alnwick castle.
11th-century Alnwick Castle is home to the Duke of Northumberland and his family... but it's such a quintessential medieval castle that it's often used as a film location – "Becket," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," "Elizabeth" – and played an illustrious role as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first two "Harry Potter" films. On TV, it showcased its rich World War I-era heritage as "Brancaster Castle" in "Downton Abbey's" 2014 Christmas special. On your early-entry private tour, you'll explore with interpreters who share inside stories of its dramatic history and famous residents – including 14th-century Sir Henry Percy, the "Hotspur" immortalized in Shakespeare's "Henry IV, Part 1" – and enjoy a glass of mead and a medieval lunch.
The one... the only... The Savoy
Welcome to The Savoy... a place where history and iconic elegance mingles with new-world sophistication. A world-famous name, celebrated for sublime service, and graced by stars, dignitaries and the global jet-set… where Art Deco rubs shoulders with English Edwardian, and exceptional dining blends with contemporary cocktails. The definitive destination in the heart of London, The Savoy stands proudly on the Northbank of the River Thames. The ballet, opera and theatre of vibrant Covent Garden are just steps away, with the City, world-renowned museums and galleries, and the designer shopping of Knightsbridge and Mayfair within easy reach.

While just about any month is great to visit Great Britain, there are a few prime times of the year for the British Landscapes tour. Here are some recommendations from our destination experts.
Spring: Enjoy fewer crowds and signs of spring as the days grow a little longer. Noting that some hotels do not have air conditioning, the naturally cooler temperatures through spring can be the most comfortable for those who prefer it.
Summer: Experience summer in England like a local – along with the locals enjoying their summer holidays, as well! While it can get crowded in some places, this does bring a lively joviality to the destination.

The route will take you through Old Town, including the Royal Mile – a traditional processional route for royalty throughout history that connects two regal residences. The coach will also take you through the Georgian-style New Town, full of elegant squares, terraces, and gardens, including Charlotte Square and George Street. For your second choice, explore Edinburgh on foot. Focused on the Old Town, walk along the winding cobblestone streets take advantage to snap photos of the medieval John Knox House, the central Mercat Cross stone structure, and the iconic St. Gile’s Cathedral. The walking tour will also show you the vibrant Grassmarket neighborhood, a marketplace dating back to the 15th century that still hosts standing shops and visiting vendors today.
Choose how you'd like to explore the charming and historic university city of Oxford. You may opt to take in the sites on a traditional punt (a gondola-like boat) OR to explore the city by foot with a local guide. On the punt, you will enjoy a 30 minute Chauffeured cruise, gliding gently past Oxford's famous Botanic Gardens; Magdalen College School fields, and through Christ Church Meadows, where Lewis Carroll was teaching students in the mid 19-centuary, when he wrote the famous Alice in Wonderland. OR, you may choose to join a local expert on a leisurely 90 minute walking tour that peaks inside several of Oxfords famous colleges and unverities, as well as visits several filming locations for Harry Potter.
Extend your stay with 3 nights in Paris – the “City of Light.” Dine at the base of the Eiffel Tower, with your hotel just steps away.

First stop – the hip neighborhood of Montmartre. Blending artistic roots and quirky modernity, this 18th arrondissement neighborhood is home to classical painters and cultural provocateurs. Venture into the Musée de Montmartre and glimpse the roots of cabaret and the lives of Paris' most famous artists, before taking advantage of time at leisure to explore on your own.

Enjoy the royal treatment in Great Britain
Travel through time on one of our legendary England tours, from the prehistoric mysteries of Stonehenge through the grand castles and battlements of the British Empire, to the pop culture touchstones of modern England and Wales. Whether you opt for a grand tour or a quick getaway, you'll get to glimpse a side of Great Britain you've never seen before.
London's iconic clock tower holds the bell named "Big Ben," which weighs over 15 tons and rings out the time on the hour.
Researchers now believe it took more than 1,500 years for ancient tribes to build this stone monument. Yet it still aligns perfectly with the sunrise on summer solstice.
- Snowdonia National Park
This beautiful 823-square-mile national park boasts the highest mountain in England and Wales, and the largest natural lake in Wales.
Shakespeare's Birthplace
The home where Shakespeare grew up—and which he later bequeathed to his heirs—once served as an inn, called the Swan and Maidenhead.
- Windsor Castle
This thousand-year-old castle is the longest-inhabited castle in the world, and was a particular favorite of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
- Tower of London
The fortress at the heart of London has a long and exciting past, as a royal residence, a prison, an armory, and even a zoo. It's currently home to the royal family's priceless Crown Jewels, including the incredible Cullinan diamond, over 500 carats of sparkle.
The Cotswolds
The rolling hills and charming villages of The Cotswolds served as the inspiration for the equally charming Shire in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels.
Roman Baths
The mineral-rich hot springs in Bath drew visitors for more than 2,000 years. The ancient Romans and Britons soaked away their aches and pains here in the time of Caesar.
Harry Potter Studio Tour
The moviemaking magic that helped create the eight movies of J.K. Rowling's classic Harry Potter novels is on full display at the Studio Tour. Visitors can see many of the thousands of costumes, props and sets that went into creating the series—including the full-sized Hogwarts Express.
- Cardiff Castle
There are 2,000 years of history inside the walls of this grand castle in the "World Capital of Castles." Cardiff Castle started as a Roman fortification before the current towers and walls were built in medieval times.
Big Ben and Parliament
No trip to London is complete without a visit to these imposing, world-famous landmarks.
Hampton Court
The dramatic history of Henry VIII and his wives comes alive in this Tudor palace in Richmond, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and the famous Maze and Great Vine.
- Castle Howard
This sublime 18th-century mansion with its elaborate chambers was the setting for the filming of Brideshead Revisited.
The Fab Four got their start in this port city, noted for launching the Beatles—and a famous football team.
Coastal England
On England's beautiful, rustic coast, you're never very far from glorious views.
London's Tower Bridge
The grand bridge over the Thames is often erroneously called London Bridge (and it's never fallen down!).
