Your Coach Tour of Britain
Your escorted tour of Britain may take you to one or more of the four separate countries in the United Kingdom; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each country has its own unique cultures and traditions, as well as having very distinctive dialects and accents. London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and combines rich history with a world of contemporary design. This city is so vast you would need a few days to get the most out of it. The best way is with a hop-on hop-off double decker bus tour. See the Tower of London and Big Ben, the iconic bell of the famous clock which sits at the Palace of Westminster. Visit the boutiques that line the streets of Knightsbridge, browse the iconic Harrods store, or explore Portobello Road and Camden Market and pick up a bargain. Later, take in a show at London’s West End and revel in the bustling crowds jostling for a place in between all the restaurants, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs. Lastly, take an evening walk to Leicester Square with its vibrant atmosphere of revellers and street entertainers who light up the night sky. Enjoy a night ot two in your London hotel before joining your guided tour of Britain leaving next morning.
The Historical City of York
Another English gem that is soaked in fascinating history that you may visit on y our guided vacation by coach. From the Vikings and Romans to the War of the Roses, this extraordinary place has it all. Evidence of medieval times is all around to see; especially The Shambles, a narrow medieval street overlooked by beautifully preserved shop buildings. The majestic York Minster is also not to be missed. Visit the National Railway Museum with its large array of vintage trains, and then enjoy a drink in one of Britain's oldest pubs -The Royal Oak, or most haunted - The Golden Fleece! Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland which offers plenty of wonderful and unique experiences. Enjoy the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle in the summer month of August. Experience some live shows at the world famous Edinburgh arts festival and revel in the party atmosphere.
The Scottish Highlands, Wales and Ireland
On a UK coach holiday, these are a spectacle not to be missed.They will take your breath away as you drive through the many twisting roads and striking scenery. As Scotland's largest whisky region, grab a chance to visit a distillery such as the Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is home to some impressive visitor attractions. Spend a day visiting Cardiff Castle and its exhibits, or immerse yourself in the arts at the Cardiff Bay Millennium Centre. Watch anything from West End musicals and contemporary dance to stand-up comedy and opera, the list is endless. The Mermaid Quay also houses many wonderful bars and restaurants. The Giant’s Causeway can be found in Northern Ireland on the North Antrim coast and is famous for its unique polygonal basalt columns. Visit the Titanic Belfast, a museum and monument situated close to where the tragic RMS Titanic was built. For a bit more excitement, have a Game Of Thrones experience and join a tour where the award-winning phenomenon is filmed.

15 Best Bus Tours of London Reviewed (Ultimate guide)

Are you considering a bus tour of London? Not sure what is available or which one is the best for you? We have you covered in our complete guide to the best bus tours of London
Are you planning to visit London and want to take one of the many bus tours of the capital that are on offer? With so many to choose from you may be wondering which one is the best fit for your needs. In this article, we compare some of the best available bus tours of London to provide you with a detailed breakdown and help you pick the right one for you.
A bus tour is a perfect introduction to London and is a great way to get oriented with the city without being too tiring. One option is to walk between all the main sights, landmarks and attractions but this can be hard work if you are not used to so much walking. The Tube is another great way to get around London but as you will be underground you won’t see anything!
An added bonus on many of the available tours is the live guides or audio commentaries on board. These help you to learn about the city’s history, culture, and architecture as you travel around. Many are multilingual too.
Some of the bus tours include a free cruise too which is an added bonus if you would like to see London from the comfort of a boat. (You can find my comparison guide to the best London boat trips and cruises here !
We have included the best hop-on hop-off London bus tours, Christmas bus tours, night bus tours, afternoon tea London bus tours and even a comedy ghost-themed bus tour and a Bar Bus! Plenty of choices and I am sure you will find at least one bus tour for your London visit.

The tour, dubbed "on the Road to Chicago," comes the day before the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, the Harris-Walz campaign told USA TODAY Wednesday.
The candidates' spouses Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz will join them on the tour, the first time all four are campaigning together. The group will focus on meeting voters in their communities, stopping at volunteer canvass events and local retailers.
This will be Harris' eighth visit to Pennsylvania this year. The tour is scheduled after Harris is expected to make her first policy-centered speech in Raleigh, North Carolina Friday.

Pennsylvania is a key battleground state
Pennsylvania provides 19 electoral votes (one less than it did in 2020). It was one of a handful of states that switched its vote from Donald Trump in 2016 to the Democratic Party in 2020.
In 2016, Trump won the state by less than 50,000 votes, beating Hillary Clinton with 48.6% of the vote compared to 47.9% of the vote for Clinton.
In 2020, President Joe Biden won 50% of the votes, beating Trump who won 48.8% of the vote.
Harris has already made several campaign stops in Pennsylvania, including her first appearance with running mate Walz. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was another top contender for vice president.
When is the Democratic National Convention?
Harris' western Pennsylvania tour comes as many others in the party are headed to Chicago for the DNC.
The DNC is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 19 through Thursday Aug. 22.
'Taylor Swift's mega-popular singalong tour is mad, joyful and surprisingly British'
As Taylor Swift returns her Eras Tour to London, Mirror reporter Cyann Fielding decided to head out on one of the most sought after Swifty experiences in the city

Taylor Swift has returned to London as part of her Eras Tour and to celebrate her arrival back to the city, I went on one of the most sought after Swifty experiences.
From August 15 to 17 and August 19 to 20, Wembley Stadium is once again jam packed with Swifties, some of whom have been waiting for over a year to see the 'Shake it Off' singer perform. With tickets ranging from £60 to over £300 selling out almost instantly after they went live, not every Swifty was lucky enough to secure a chance to see their idol.
Despite this, venues and brands across London have created some amazing Taylor-themed events and activities. From brunches to pottery classes, the city has provided something for every Swifty. In particular, one activity seems to have captured the attention and intrigue of lots of fans, and as a result, is now fully booked for her remaining London concert dates. Swifties desperate to go will have to find a slot once the singer has left town.
Have you discovered a unique Taylor Swift experience? Email us at [email protected]
I joined throngs of Swifties on the sold-out Taylor Swift Afternoon Tea Tour Bus on Friday evening.
You haven’t truly visited London if you haven’t seen at least one Golden Tours bus cruising past the major landmarks of the city. But this experience cranks it up one more notch, offering guests Taylor Swift themed afternoon tea whilst travelling through London listening to songs from world's most famous the singer.
Starting in Victoria, the pretty pastel pink bus almost looks like an iconic London Routemaster, albeit one which has had a serious makeover. Standing next to it, I was already getting excited as I could see small cake stands, and quintessentially British Union Jack bunting.
I was ready for all the treats and a good singalong — I couldn’t think of a better way to see in the start of the weekend.

As we glided through the streets of London, we were served sweet and savoury treats, as well as cold and hot beverages while London landmarks went by. A mimosa with apple juice instead of orange juice was a refreshing change, as was a strawberry bubble tea.
As Romeo and Juliet boomed around me, I munched on, enjoying the ride, seeing London’s skyline ahead. All with the added elegance of Golden Hour. Having now experienced a few Taylor-themed events and activities in London, this one definitely impressed me. I felt nostalgic but happy, singing along with not a care in the world. Perhaps I am more of a Swifty than I thought.
The bus was packed with Taylor Swift fans, all eagerly anticipating her upcoming performances. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone in high spirits and ready to kick off their weekend of Swift-themed festivities. It felt like we were creating a memory that would last a lifetime.
There were touching moments as mothers and daughters captured memories together, singing along to Taylor's top hits.

The afternoon tea itself was a very British treat, and there was such a variety of food and drink to choose from. The small touches also made the experience more special: an iconic Swifty friendship bracelet and a reusable coffee cup are mementos I will always have to remind me of the bus full of happy Taylor-loving people.
The hosts, who encouraged everyone on the bus to sing and cheer, were great fun too. All round it felt like a really positive, inclusive place to be. A true escape from the mundanity of normal London buses —which, I suspect, will never seem quite the same again.
As I raised my glass to Taylor with the sun warming my face, I realised the joy of being part of her community. This wasn't just a celebration of Taylor, but also a celebration of her fans and British culture — a mix I initially found odd, but left already wanting to repeat.
Upper deck seats cost £59 and can be bought here .

Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly announced running mate Tim Walz are barnstorming across battleground states this week after making their electric debut in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
Harris and Walz – the presumptive Democratic presidential ticket – will next appear together in Phoenix , Arizona, on Friday and then Las Vegas , Nevada, on Saturday.
Their Republican rivals Donald Trump and JD Vance have been tailing them on the campaign trail , with dueling stops in Michigan and Wisconsin earlier this week.
Harris and Walz have had to postpone scheduled visits to North Carolina and Georgia due to severe weather under Tropical Storm Debby . Trump and Vance have also postponed their North Carolina rallies. Those events will be rescheduled, according to the campaigns.
President Joe Biden won those swing states in the 2020 presidential election — except for North Carolina — and flipped Arizona and Georgia for Democrats by razor-thin margins.
Harris and Walz kicked off their tour in Wisconsin with a rally and performance from Bon Iver on Wednesday afternoon. Governor Tony Evers and Senator Tammy Baldwin also joined the event.
That night, they were in Detroit before holding another campaign event in Michigan on Thursday.
With Harris and Walz heading west, Vance is spending the weekend at fundraising events in Texas.
Trump, who has been fundraising in Florida, will hold a rally in Montana on Friday, his first major campaign event in a week.
![uk tourist bus tour Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz are holding rallies in several battleground states this week, with Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance making their own stops](https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/08/07/02/EEUU-ELECCIONES-DEM%C3%93CRATAS_71767.jpg)
At their Philadelphia rally on Tuesday night , Harris told the estimated 12,000 people in attendance that she “set out to find a partner who can build this brighter future” during her weeks-old campaign for the presidency.
Harris’s search for a running mate led her to a “leader who can unite this nation and move us forward,” someone who was “a fighter for the middle class” and a “patriot who believes as I do the extraordinary promise of America, a promise of freedom, opportunity and justice not just for some but for all,” she said.
Walz — a 60-year-old military veteran, former school teacher and congressman and the current governor of Minnesota — told the crowd that Trump “doesn’t know the first thing about service, because he’s too busy serving himself.”
The former president “weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand, mocks our laws, and sows chaos and division, and that’s to say nothing of his record as president,” said Walz, who said Trump “froze” during the Covid-19 crisis and “drove the economy into the ground,” adding: “Make no mistake: violent crime was up under Donald Trump.”
“That’s not counting the crimes he committed,” Walz added.

Price: From $368 per person Duration: About 10 hours
This adventure begins on the Las Vegas Strip , where passengers board an air-conditioned bus and head to the West Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. From there, they board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Next, visitors head for Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. There's also an option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).
Good to know: Grand Canyon West is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribal Nation. In the tribe's traditions, the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River are considered living, spiritual entities. When visiting Grand Canyon West, travelers are immersed in the rich culture and history of the Hualapai Nation.

Price: From $94 per person Duration: About 11 hours
This tour will show you the best of the West Rim, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can trek to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.
A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo (but keep in mind this stop is only available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.
No matter which option you choose, previous travelers say you will enjoy this tour — especially the expert guides, who they describe as both informative and entertaining.
Good to know: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.
![uk tourist bus tour Closeup of the National Park Express logo on a bus.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/0000018a-e22a-d03a-a9eb-f72bc03c0000/5-grand-canyon-national-park-south-rim-tour-from-las-vegas-with-lunch-national-park-express.jpg?update-time=1696012159380&size=responsiveFlow640)
Price: From $119 per person Duration: About 13 hours
If you're looking to visit the South Rim — the most popular part of Grand Canyon National Park — consider this bus tour from National Park Express. Tour rates include admission to some of the most popular Grand Canyon attractions , including Mather Point and Bright Angel Point , and you'll get about three hours total to explore. Previous travelers commend the tour guides and drivers, noting they are both knowledgable and pleasant.
Lunch, bottled water and a granola bar are included in tour rates. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).
Good to know: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area (such as coyotes and bighorn sheep) often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim.

Price: From $74 per person Duration: About 15 to 16 hours
This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.
You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.
Previous travelers say this tour makes for a really long day, but that the experience is well worth the time.
Good to know: Located farther from Vegas, the South Rim is cooler, with rainy and snowy winters, and more moderate temperatures in spring, summer and fall.

Price: From $139 per adult Duration: About 10.5 hours
This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon.
Additionally, this all-inclusive tour stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as a tour guide makes for an even more fun experience according to previous tourgoers.
Good to know: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.

Women combine passion for food, family and travel in Savory Lane bus tour of Massachusetts, New Hampshire
By Levan Reid
August 16, 2024 / 1:15 PM EDT / CBS Boston
DERRY, N.H. - Four women are bringing their passion for food and travel to their own bus tour business in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The Savory Lane is a two-year-old company that operates out of a farmhouse bus with a bathroom, mini kitchen, and plenty of seats. It's named "Freddie," after their grandmother.
![uk tourist bus tour lane.jpg](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/16/9f75c04f-18c6-4495-b72b-fa848e8a9fc9/thumbnail/620x349/6b07eda971ee3ca36c25b83acb13e0bb/lane.jpg?v=d8f7565ef3e8b72561ee316b5993cbf9#)
"I have a picture right by my drivers seat and I wear her necklace with me everytime I get on board. So number one, I know she is watching over us," co-owner Maria Czyzewski told WBZ-TV.
"To have my sister, my mother and my niece involved. A woman family-owned business, it's been pretty cool," co-owner Lisa Galloni told WBZ-TV.
"I had seen tiny home buses. It's amazing on what you can do with some of those, but what it ended up being is absolutely above and beyond what we had thought," Czyzewski said.
Customers can expect an unforgettable experience on the bus.
"I'm sitting in the drivers seat, so I see everyone coming on and the minute they turn the little corner. They are like, 'Oh my God, this is amazing,'" Czyzewski said.
Where does The Savory Lane go?
They offer tours for for everybody. From their winery tour, to a book lovers "literary adventure," or even a gourmet cheese shop tour. They also offer seasonal experiences for fall, Halloween and Christmas.
"Scavenger hunts is a favorite, our tea parties are a favorite," Galloni said.
The tours range from four to eight hours and they can welcome 15 to 24 people. But the Savory Ladies' favorite part is watching customers smile ear to ear.
![uk tourist bus tour savory-tours.jpg](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/16/5bd05be7-1d72-4c4e-8329-d170f61ce44a/thumbnail/620x349/e3b6cadc9d475ab795339d5606dc23c3/savory-tours.jpg?v=d8f7565ef3e8b72561ee316b5993cbf9#)
"It kind of solidifies what we wanted to bring to people. It exceeded our expectations, that people are enjoying this that much," Czyzewski said.
"The positive feedback and the excitement, 'This is the best day I've ever had in so long.' Those type of things are really incredible," Galloni said.
"A great partnership"
The tours are also a positive experience for the businesses they visit.
"It's pretty exciting. It's great for us because it's a great partnership. They're our biggest supporters, but they also bring in a lot of people who had no idea that this was here," Appolo Vineyards owner Mike Appolo told WBZ.
The ladies know that all the great memories they have made on the bus would make their grandmother proud.
"She would be super excited because this is right up her alley. Hanging out with people, having a good time, dancing and singing," Galloni said.
