British weather. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, and sometimes it’s both at the same time. The point is that it’s constantly changing, so we can always count on a change for the better! We will run our tours in wind, rain or shine, but will always adjust itineraries to ensure you have the most enjoyable experience possible. For this reason, we only run our hiking tours from March until October. That said, if you want a truly authentic trip around Britain, embracing good and bad weather is very much part of the package!

We put a lot of thought into our itineraries to ensure you get the most out of your time on tour. However, sometimes things beyond our control can cause delays and this can lead to last-minute alterations in your tour itinerary.

Transport on tours is by people-carrier or minibus, depending on the number in your group. The vehicles we use are of a high standard and have enough space for one large suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person. You can find more information about what to bring on your tour under the ‘Our Tours’ page and in the information pack you receive on booking with us.

All of our tours involve transport in vehicles at some point, sometimes along narrow, winding roads in the hills or mountains. If you are prone to travel sickness, please let us know in advance and bring the necessary medication. Please also be aware that some of our tours involve boat trips and may not be suitable for those with motion sickness.

If selecting this option, you will be staying in typically British accommodation, of a 3- or 4-star standard. Bed and Breakfasts (known as B&Bs) provide cosy and homely accommodation and breakfast within houses around the UK, with the owners of the B&Bs often living in the same building. They are renowned for their warm welcomes, cosy atmospheres and great breakfasts, and the experience is often the closest you can get to staying in a British person’s house. Alternatively, you can spend the night in a traditional British Inn, where comfortable rooms are located in authentic British pubs, a hugely important aspect of British culture where people meet to drink, talk, socialise and eat home-cooked food. Both of these options will immerse you in British life, and it is often the way British people like to travel when holidaying in the UK. Prices range from approximately £30 up to £75 per person per night, depending on your chosen accommodation.

This option is most appropriate for those travelling on a budget. Beds in shared dormitories are the most common form of accommodation in youth hostels, but private rooms are also available for a higher price. Hostels usually have a very lively and friendly atmosphere; in fact staying in a hostel is a very communal experience, with numerous social areas available to relax in and meet people from all over the world. Kitchens are available for your own use and some hostels will have their own restaurant serving food to guests. Note that breakfast may not be provided in some hostels, but can be arranged upon request, or prepared by you in the hostel’s facilities. Prices range from approximately £15 up to £30 per person per night depending on your chosen accommodation.

Lunch and dinner meal times will vary from tour to tour, but we generally aim to eat lunch at 12pm or 1pm, and dinner at 6pm or 7pm. You always have the option of eating with or without your guide, and he/she is expected to cover their own costs (with the exception of picnics which are made for the guide and group to enjoy together). Should you choose to eat with your guide, they will book a local restaurant in advance and can point out some great regional dishes to try. Should you choose to dine alone as a group, your guide can recommend the best places to eat, and you are free to explore independently. Of course if you would like to have Chinese food, we can also show you to the nearest Chinese restaurant if there is one in the area.
