My family from the US came over for my birthday celebrations in March and arranged a 2-day private tour with Andrew and Graham. In a nutshell, it was amazing. It was just before lock-down when things were starting to close and have limited access, but Andrew managed to change the schedule accordingly to ensure that still we got the most out of the tour.

He and Graham were great company and by the end of the 2 days' we had all bonded! My cousin uses a wheelchair and they seem-lessly assisted him in and out of the vehicle.

We had a great time and saw so much in a short time. Andrew's extensive knowledge on each destination was captivating and his passion for the subjects he talked about was evident.

Highly recommend - you will have an amazing time! Thank you again :)

Lisa F Private tour of Royal London

We came in for a week to visit family and did a private and personalized tour of the London area with Luxury Vacations UK. Everything went fabulous! We had two tour guides, Andrew and Graham, and traveled in style in a very comfortable 15 seat Mercedes minibus for two full days. They even had a professional SLR camera and took some nice group photos for us. Their friendly nature and deep personal knowledge of British history made the experience of visiting some of the castles and churches only that much better.

There were some special needs for one of us and they took care of getting a scooter rented and available for us the whole time we were there. if you are planning to visit the UK, and want to do it "right" then I highly recommend their services. Thanks again Luxury Vacations UK!

Michael M The only way to see London! - Private tour of Royal London

We used their services for a week when we visited London in May of 2019. They were very professional, on time in picking us up at our hotel, and the van was impeccable. Also, they bought the tickets for the attractions we visited which was so helpful for a party of 18.

We were delighted with the tour guides and driver who were wonderful to us. Especially Andrew, who upon learning of our granddaughter's birthday, bought her a book about birds which she loves.

I would highly recommend them and would certainly use them again.

Barnard P Luxury tour of London

Luxury vacations tour of Wales and England Our group of four ladies had a fabulous five day private tour with Luxury Vacations. After a one day tour in London, our private guide Chris Abbott joined us for the remainder of our trip. Chris was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, easy going, fun and flexible. Chris was even able to put up with four loud, laughing ladies for four days—quite a gentleman.

The staff at Luxury Vacations were polite and made it easy to plan our trip. They worked with us to plan a trip that catered to our specifications. Our accommodations were picturesque and high end.

Vivian T Luxury Vacations tour of England and Wales

Proudly overlooking the nation’s capital city, Edinburgh Castle is one of the oldest, attractive, and interesting fortified places in Europe. Alongside hosting the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny, each section of the Castle has an exciting tale to tell, whether that’s as a Royal residence, military garrison, or more ominously, as a prison and fortress. 

A good many facts make Loch Ness stand out among other Scottish lakes. It is the second-largest Scottish lake with a surface area of 56 km 2  (the largest being Loch Lomond), but due to its great depth, it is the largest by volume in the British Isles. Its deepest point is 230 m, making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. It also contains more freshwater than all the lakes in England and Wales combined!

Take a tour around the Loch’s vast banks or perhaps a private cruise on it’s blue waters – get in touch with our guides today to start building your perfect tour!

Arthur's Seat Edinburgh

Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano and is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh. On your private tour, we can drive straight over the top of this hill (or you may enjoy a short hike instead) where we shall have wonderful views of the city.

You’d be able to pay a visit to the magnificent Glencoe Mountains for the day from a variety of starting points in Scotland.

The areas around Glencoe have hikes suitable for a wide range of activity levels so don’t worry if you don’t want to climb up to the top – we’ll still manage to get to some incredible viewpoints, particularly of the ‘Three Sisters’ scenic area.

Isle of Skye

Take a day trip to the magical Isle of Skye with your very own private driver-guide. Skye is filled with stunning natural views, quaint towns, beautiful beaches & fascinating history. You could spend weeks touring the Island’s sites, including The Fairy Glen, The Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls Viewpoint, Skye Museum of Island Life, Dunvegan Castle & Gardens or even a wee taste of our local spirit at the Talisker Whisky Distillery!

Whatever your tastes or interests, our guides will plan the perfect day trip for you and your group!

The famous Eilean Donan: a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film, and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie. Since the castle’s restoration in the early 20th century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland.

The castle was founded in the thirteenth century and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan Macrae. In the early eighteenth century, the Mackenzies’ involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led in 1719 to the castle’s destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap’s twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings.

Cliffs of Moher

Rising over 200 meters high and spanning 8 kilometers along the wild Atlantic coast, the Cliffs provide stunning views of the Aran Islands with the ocean crashing below. Your driver-guide will be able to inform you of all the folklore and myths that surround this incredible testament to the beauty of nature.

Visit a jewel in the crown of the fabulous Causeway Coast: Giant’s Causeway. A site of World Heritage and therefore ranked alongside Mount Everest and the Giant Redwoods of California for its importance to humankind. Welcome to one of the most amazing places on the planet; The Causeway comprises around 40,000 mostly hexagonal basalt columns descending gently into the sea. Depending on who you believe, the stones were formed either by an underwater volcano’s geological actions or by an Irish giant named Finn McCool, who lived and battled along the north Antrim Coast. However, it was formed, it is a fabulous way to spend an hour.

Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry is the ring road that follows the coastal contours of Kerry’s Iveragh Peninsula. The Ring is one of Ireland’s most famous circuits, but it’s much more than a simple driving route, the Ring of Kerry is an iconic destination wrapped in stunning visual history.

This scene-stealing route beginning and ending in Killarney takes in all the big hitters – Moll’s Gap, the Torc Waterfall, and the Gap of Dunloe are places you will see, but really, the route itself is so much more than the sum of its parts. 

The iconic Kylemore Abbey was built in the late 1800s by Mitchell Henry MP, a wealthy businessman, and liberal politician, who, inspired by his love for his wife Margaret, and his hopes for his beloved Ireland, created an estate boasting ‘all the innovations of the then modern age’. Kylemore is now owned and run by the Benedictine community who have been in residence here since 1920.

See firsthand why the Irish are so famous for their drinking culture by exploring the wonderful selection of traditional bars that fill the street with the sound of laughter and traditional Irish music.

Enjoy a guided tour through some of London’s most favored royal parks which leads your attention to the home and office of Her Majesty the Queen: Buckingham Palace. You will hear fascinating stories about the Palace, including break-ins, parties, and romance. It will then be time for your private guide to escort you to the best watching place for the Changing of The Guard.

Tower of London

With its history stretching back to just after the Norman Conquest, this mix of Palace and fortress holds so much history, and so many stories, within its walls.  During your visit, you could take a peek at the crown jewels, hear about the glamorous and more gruesome side to The Towers past AND meet some of its most famous residents, the Ravens and Yeoman Warders – perhaps better known as The Beefeaters.  The Tower of London has something for everyone, so whether you’re into impressive suits of armor, incredible (Royal level) bling or, you fancy seeing the modern City of London from the top of its medieval walls the Tower of London won’t disappoint. 

This is your opportunity to actually get out amongst the sacred stones.  Allow your guide to transport you back in time almost 5000 years as they build a vividly descriptive story  putting you in the place of ancient pagans paying homage at the temple.

When it comes to folklore, myth, and legend, there is perhaps no other site in the world quite like Stonehenge and your private guide for the day will ensure that  you will leave having formed a lasting and meaningful bond with this very special and unique site .

When you see images of the beautiful rolling green hills of the English countryside, it’s usually the Cotswolds. Honey-colored cottages with thatched roofs, rolling hills, brooks, streams, and stone villages.

Notable quaint villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury & Burford will be a selection of the towns that you will be able to visit.

Perhaps the most photographic of Wales’ many castles, Cardiff Castle features still-intact sections constructed more than 1,000 years ago!

Highlights include the State Apartments, notable for its informative displays relating to life in the castle over the ages, as well as the attractive old chapel. Other notable features include the well-preserved Banqueting Hall with its medieval murals and elaborate fireplace.

Snowdonia & Mount Snowden

Visit the world-famous Snowdonia National Park and Mount Snowden: At 3,546 feet high, Mount Snowden is the tallest peak in Wales (and England for that matter) and is the jewel in the crown of Snowdonia National Park – a beautiful range of mountains and hills located in the county of Gwynedd. When it comes to stunning areas of natural beauty, Snowdonia is a must-visit on any trip to Wales.

Popular with hikers and mountain bikers, the incredible views from the summit of Mount Snowden can also be reached by a mountain railway service – described as one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world.

Visit a 13th-century castle widely recognized as one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages: Caernarfon Castle.

Architecturally the structure echoes imperial Roman architecture, especially the walls of Constantinople. They also recalled the Welsh myth of Macsen Wledig, who dreamed of a great fort at the mouth of a river – ‘the fairest that man ever saw’.

So Caernarfon is a castle of dreams. A legend brought to life. Even after 700 years it still stirs the imagination like no other Welsh castle.

Brecon Beacons National Park

Spend a couple of hours exploring the impressive Brecon Beacons National Park and Visitor Center. Renowned for its undeniable natural beauty, your guide will take you on a hike of your choice to take in some of the views across the famous Welsh valleys before we head back to your tour vehicle and continue onto our next stop of the day:

Undoubtedly topping the list of the best things to do for free in Cardiff, this major attraction houses impressive collections focusing on archeology, zoology, and botany, as well as the arts.

The National Museum of Art is housed in the same building. This excellent art gallery features a number of works by some of the world’s most important artists, including Old Masters and Welsh painters.

The medieval structure has perhaps the most fascinating history of any building in the UK.  Originally constructed as a Castle and defensive fortress under the command of William The Conqueror in 1066, throughout the centuries it has functioned as a palace, a prison and executioners, and an arsenal. 

Currently home to the Crown Jewels, the living quarters of the Yeomen Warders, and apparently 13 ghosts! The Tower of London is simply a must-see on your tour of London!

Would you prefer a character property with Georgian features or a modern luxury hotel spa? With our local knowledge and insight, anything is possible.

Day 4: Liverpool

Rising to prominence both domestically and internationally during the Industrial Revolution, Liverpool’s docklands were a key port for imports and exports that led to the city gaining the moniker of the second city of the British Empire. Liverpool’s regeneration in the post-industrial era as a city of culture was spearheaded by The Beatles’ impact on the World, recognized in 2008 as a European Capital of culture with an official designation by the EU, and continues to this day as a creative and vibrant artistic hub.

On your tour of Manchester, you will enjoy guided tours of:

The John Rylands Library

Manchester Cathedral

A Grade 1 listed Masterpiece, Manchester Cathedral provided the stage that much of the city’s story and history has been played ever since Henry V decreed a church should be built here in 1421.

Kilmainham Gaol

Built in 1796 it served as a prison in former times where many Irish revolutionaries were imprisoned and executed by the British.

Commissioned by King John all the way back in 1204, and although the majority of what you can see now was actually constructed in the 18th century, the Record Tower from that era is still intact.
