Begin your trip with two overnights in London and time to explore on your own or to take an optional tour. Head to Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace; enjoy a walking tour of Oxford, where Britain’s elite receive their education; and travel through the exquisite Cotswolds to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and Lady Godiva’s Coventry. Continue on to York, England’s most complete medieval city, for a walking tour with your Tour Director. See a section of Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman coast-to-coast defense against marauding northern tribes, and enter Scotland for two overnights in regal Edinburgh. In the Scottish capital, your tour includes a visit to mighty Edinburgh Castle. On to St. Andrews, home of golf; Braemar, home of the Royal Highland Games for the past 900 years; and Royal Deeside, where the Queen is an annual visitor. Enjoy an excursion to the spectacular west coast of Scotland, then drive over to the beautiful Isle of Skye. Scenic highlights await you on the way to Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, and an orientation drive acquaints you with Glasgow’s attractions. Next, ferry to Belfast in Northern Ireland and visit remarkable Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the way to Derry. Travel to Knock, where pilgrims flock to the Marian Shrine; see the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher; and drink in the scenery on the Dingle Peninsula and along the gorgeous “Ring of Kerry.” Stop at popular Killarney; Blarney, known for the “Stone of Eloquence”; and Waterford, famous for its crystal.
