About Tourist England
Tourist England is a UK tour and travel company helping visitors discover the best of England and beyond.
Founded in 2011, we offer our own private tours and specialist group tours, alongside a carefully selected range of tours operated by established sightseeing companies that we know and trust.
This combination allows us to offer a much wider choice while still giving our customers expert advice on which tour is right for them.
Who We Are
Tourist England was founded in 2011 by Freddie Julius, whose family has longstanding connections with the travel and heritage industry.
Our aim is simple: to make exploring England easy, enjoyable and memorable.
Over the years, Tourist England has developed its own range of private tours and specialist group tours, while also building relationships with established tour operators whose products meet the standards we expect for our customers.
This means we are not simply a booking website. We design and arrange tours ourselves, work directly with guides and transport providers for many of our services, and also offer selected partner-operated tours where they provide an excellent option for our customers.
Our Own Tours
Tourist England operates and arranges a growing selection of its own tours and travel services.
These include specialist small-group tours, private day tours, multi-day private tours, cruise transfers and tailor-made itineraries.
Our specialist tours are designed for travellers looking for something different from a standard large-coach sightseeing tour, including smaller groups, unusual itineraries and more personalised experiences.
Private Tours
Private tours are an important part of what we do.
We offer both pre-planned private itineraries and completely customised tours designed around your interests, schedule and group size.
Popular destinations include Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Bath, Oxford, the Cotswolds and London, as well as specialist experiences such as military history tours and special-access visits.
Our team works with carefully selected guides, drivers and vehicles to create private tours for couples, families, groups, schools and corporate clients.
Tours can last from a few hours to several days, and itineraries can be adapted to suit individual requirements.
Tours from Selected Partners
Alongside our own tours, Tourist England works with a number of carefully selected and established sightseeing operators.
This enables us to offer a broader range of departure times, itineraries, group sizes and prices than we could provide through our own tours alone.
For popular destinations such as Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath, several operators may offer similar itineraries. We compare these tours carefully so that customers can understand the differences in price, timings, attractions, group size and inclusions before booking.
We only work with operators and suppliers that we believe offer a reliable and professional service.
Day Tours from London
We offer a wide choice of day tours from London to some of England’s most popular destinations, including Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Bath, Oxford and the Cotswolds.
Options range from direct Stonehenge trips and traditional coach tours to small-group tours, special-access experiences and tours combining several destinations in one day.
Some tours are operated directly by Tourist England, while others are provided by our selected tour operator partners.
Small-Group & Specialist Tours
We have developed a selection of specialist tours for travellers who prefer a smaller and more personal experience.
These can include small-group tours with a limited number of passengers, specialist historical tours and itineraries that visit destinations not normally included on standard coach tours.
We continue to develop new tours where we believe there is a gap in the market or an opportunity to offer visitors a better way to experience a destination.
Cruise Transfers & Tours
Tourist England specialises in cruise transfers and sightseeing tours for passengers travelling to and from Southampton Cruise Terminals.
We arrange transfers between Southampton, London and Heathrow Airport, including sightseeing options that can visit destinations such as Stonehenge, Salisbury and Windsor along the way.
Our team has many years of experience coordinating hotel collections, luggage and cruise schedules.
Tours for Schools, Universities & Groups
We arrange private and group tours for schools, universities, businesses and other organisations.
Tours can be built around a particular subject, destination or itinerary, with vehicles available for groups of different sizes.
Our team can help organise transport, guides, attractions and multi-day itineraries.
Attractions, Theatre & Experiences
Tourist England also offers tickets for many of London’s major attractions, sightseeing experiences, theatre performances and musicals.
Our aim is to make Tourist England a useful starting point for planning a visit to London and the UK, whether you need a single attraction ticket, a day tour or a complete private itinerary.
Why Book with Tourist England?
We combine the experience of running and arranging our own tours with access to tours from carefully selected established operators.
That means we can offer a wide choice without being tied to recommending only one type of tour or one operator.
Whether you are looking for a private tour designed especially for you, one of our specialist group tours or a traditional sightseeing tour from one of our partners, our team is here to help you choose the option that suits you best.
