About this trip
Thirteen days across the UK and Ireland, covering everything from Roman baths to Scottish lochs. This is a coach tour built for people who want a proper overview of both countries without having to plan the logistics themselves.
You'll move through Bath, Cardiff, Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, York and more, taking in cities, coastline and countryside in one go. It's a lot of ground, so expect most days to bring a new place.
Alongside the cities, there's real scenery — the Giant's Causeway, the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and the Scottish Highlands — plus a few classic traditions along the way, like kissing the Blarney Stone.
What you'll do
- Walk the Roman baths in Bath and explore Cardiff
- See the Giant's Causeway and Cliffs of Moher
- Drive the Ring of Kerry and the Scottish Highlands
- Kiss the Blarney Stone in Cork
- Punt along the river in Cambridge
- Visit Shakespeare's birthplace and explore Loch Ness
- Coach-based tour with frequent changes of location — expect a fast pace and a new base most nights
- Suits travellers who want a broad first look at the UK and Ireland rather than deep time in one place
Worth it if you're fit, flexible on pace, and want brilliant scenery with a strong guide. Think twice if you walk slowly, need detailed planning ahead, or dislike long bus days.
- Pace is genuinely punishing if you're not quick: guides walk fast through cities, leaving slower walkers a block behind.
- Bus time dominates; expect long stretches with infrequent breaks, and some stops (Cardiff) feel rushed and pointless.
- Guide quality transforms the trip: Lee, Brando, Matt all earned specific praise for history knowledge, personality, and keeping groups safe.
- Hotels often sit on town outskirts, requiring awkward walks along highways; accommodation list arrives too late to plan free time.
