England vacations
Medieval castles and centuries old churches. Charming villages with thatched-roof cottages and elaborate grand manor houses. Exciting cities with world class shopping, restaurants, museums and nightlife. Rolling green hills, pastoral landscapes, sparkling lakes and rugged mountains. These are but a part of what England has to offer. Art, culture, history, innovative cuisine and delicious drinks are yours to experience on an independent tailor-made vacation to England, designed especially for you!
Local private guides and chauffeurs can escort you (or we can arrange for independent transportation) to the likes of Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Stonehenge, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Regency Bath to name just a few. See centuries-old universities. Raise your pinkies for an extravagant Afternoon Tea. Enjoy innovative cuisine in the hottest restaurants or traditional English fare in charming local pubs.
Home to Kings and Queens since 886 A.D., and stomping grounds of the Romans prior to that, the country serves as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, King Henry VIII, The Beatles, Jane Austen, Sir Isaac Newton, and numerous others whose talents have made England the extraordinary place it is today. Whether it’s a pint or two in the local pub or a 9-course dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant, hiking in the Lake District or a night at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, a countryside B&B or a suite in an authentic Tudor Castle… England has it all.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT ENGLAND?
Anytime. While the busier seasons are typically May through September, England is fantastic no matter when you travel. And, you’re never more than 70 miles from the ocean, which means the weather can be cool, but rarely is it extremely cold. It will rain, we can almost guarantee, whenever you go. But everything goes on as normal… just with an umbrella. See more information on the weather
TELL ME ABOUT ENGLISH CURRENCY
The English currency is the pound sterling, abbreviated as GBP and its symbol is £. One pound is made up of one hundred pennies, or pence.

Be advised, euros are not accepted in England… only pounds.
TELL ME ABOUT THE LANGUAGE AND THE PEOPLE
The English people speak (as you may guess…) English. This is the official language of the country. However, when in metropolitan areas in particular, you’ll find a plethora of other languages spoken, as the city is quite an international hub, as well as regional dialects and accents of the English people, themselves.
