United Kingdom Cultural Holidays

The UK may be small in size, but when it comes to culture, there is an almost endless list of things to see and do. If you’re short on time, a city break is just the thing. The country’s capital cities like London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast are overflowing with excellent restaurants, museums and art galleries and we can arrange fascinating city tours with local guides who can introduce you to both the top sites and the hidden gems. If you’re a bit of a history buff, spend your cultural holidays in the UK touring historic houses including Chatsworth House in Derbyshire – home to one of Europe's most significant art collections - and Highclere Castle in Hampshire which recently found fame as the setting of the hugely successful Downton Abbey television series. And if you’re a book lover? We can arrange an itinerary designed around the best of British literature from a visit to the iconic Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare, to a London tour in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes.

"Our Original Travel trip to London, Edinburgh and Dublin was wonderful. The drivers and guides were courteous, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. The highlights of our trip were the guided tour of the British Museum and attending an Arsenal football match."

"Our tour guides and drivers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very representative of England and Scotland. We can't thank you enough for all of your help & expertise throughout this process. In addition, during the trip there were wonderful little things (from being told congratulations during check in, to the flower petals on the bed at the Bloomsbury, and the hand written note at Fonab) that made this such a memorable trip and wouldn't have happened without you.
