England tours discovery guide

Start with Big Ben and Buckingham Palace—then get ready to go beyond. Amble through quirky Cotswolds villages, wind down the rugged Jurassic Coast, and follow the tangy trail of malt vinegar and sizzling oil to a chip shop. England is a world apart that’s still close to home.

What to know before you go

POPULATION
England boasts 57 million residents—and yes, almost everyone loves their daily cuppa. (More than 165 million cups of tea are brewed there daily!)

CAPITAL
London’s iconic cityscape may need little introduction, but did you know that underneath its bustling streets lie several hidden rivers and the remains of a first-century Roman amphitheater?

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
The English are known for politeness and etiquette, as well as their stiff upper lip—made famous by their World War II motto of “Keep Calm and Carry On.”

WHAT TO GO FOR
Historic landmarks, literary connections, storybook villages, and cultural diversity. Plus, a shared language makes getting around and mingling with locals easier.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
On our tours of England, you’ll indulge in Jane Austen’s Regency-era world while sipping tea in Bath, see royal treasures glimmer inside Windsor Castle, and fall under Stonehenge’s spell.

Find the England that suits your fancy

Craving the quiet calm of the coast and countryside? Perhaps the buzz of a cosmopolitan capital city’s more your speed. Time to declare your side in the age-old town-and-country debate.
