Coasts & Countrysides of England with Edinburgh, Liverpool & London

From bustling capitals to poetic countrysides, experience the many distinctive sides of Great Britain. Encounter the history, connect with the locals, and see what life is like in the towns and cities.

Arrive in Scotland, where age-old legends intersect with scenic beauty. In Edinburgh, the country’s capital, enjoy time on your own to discover this eclectic and vibrant city. As arrival times will vary, there are no scheduled activities until this evening. Tonight, gather for your first taste of Scottish culture during a locally inspired dinner with a modern-day twist.

See the city like a local during a two-hour walking tour of the Old Town, passing by Victorian houses and cobblestone streets. Explore the Royal Mile, ending at the bottom of the hill at Holyrood Palace, where you’ll enjoy exploring this historic home of the monarchy. The rest of the day is yours. Take advantage of free time to experience the city however you please.

Say goodbye to Scotland and travel towards the scenic Lake District, eternalized through the works of Sir Walter Scott and William Wordsworth. Along the way, spend a little time on a family farm and learn about rural life along the Scottish border with England. Visit the village of Lanercost for a guided visit of one of Cumbria's best-preserved monasteries from the 13th century. Enjoy a relaxing evening on the shores of Lake Windermere, your home for the next two nights. Breathe in the crisp air and admire the rolling hills nestled against the water.
