What customers say about our tours
What can you see on a multi-day London tour?
More than you’d think, and further than most people plan for. Five to eight days gives you the time to actually settle into a place, rather than just pass through it. Depending on which tour you choose, you might find yourself watching the Scottish Lowlands appear through the windshield, crossing to an island most people have only seen in photographs, or winding through the castles and valleys of Wales. Browse the tours, and see which one calls out to you.
How far from London can you get in a week?
Further than most people expect. In five to eight days, you can reach the Scottish Lowlands, the Welsh mountains, the Cornish coast, and the medieval cities of York and Edinburgh, all without touching a steering wheel. The further you go, the more the landscape changes around you.
What’s included on a multi-day tour from London?
Every tour includes your driver-guide at the wheel of a 16-seat mini-coach, with all transport taken care of from start to finish. On multi-day tours, we book you into locally owned hotels and guesthouses with breakfast included each morning, and your driver-guide picks you up and drops you back at your overnight accommodation each day. They’ll also always be upfront about anything that costs extra on the day.
Do the tours go to Scotland and Wales as well as England?
They do, and Britain has a way of surprising you the further you travel through it. England alone gives you the Cotswolds, the Lake District, the medieval cities, and the kind of countryside that looks like it was painted, rather than grown. Cross the border into Scotland and the scale shifts entirely, mountains rising straight from the glens, lochs stretching further than you can see, and roads that feel like they were made for exactly this kind of journey. Head west into Wales and you’re into a country with its own language, its own castles, and its own very good reasons for being there. Five to eight days gives you time to feel all of that, rather than just passing through it.
What time of year is best for a multi-day tour from London?
Every season makes a case for itself. Spring brings the English countryside back to life, with blossom on the hedgerows and lambs in the fields. Summer gives you the longest days and the best chance of the kind of light that makes the Scottish hills look like a painting. Fall strips the crowds away and turns everything gold, and the lower light does something remarkable to old stone and open moorland. Winter is quieter, but there’s something about frost on a loch or a log fire in a centuries-old pub that makes you glad you came. The honest answer is that Britain never really has a bad season. It just has different ones.
Where do the tours depart from?
All our London tours leave from the Greenline Coach Terminal, a short walk from London Victoria station and right in the middle of one of the city’s most well-connected neighborhoods. Easy to reach, easy to find, and a great excuse to stay nearby the night before, if you want to start your trip feeling relaxed. Full details and directions are on our Departure Points page.
Why take a multi-day tour from London with Rabbie’s?
We’ve been running tours from London since 1993, and the formula hasn’t changed much. Small groups, no minimum numbers, and driver-guides who know these roads and their stories from the inside out. With a maximum of 16 passengers, we go down roads the big coaches can’t, stop when something’s worth stopping for, and take the routes that actually show you Britain, rather than just move you through it.
