Guide to Planning a Trip
There are so many different vacation packages to choose from when visiting England, let’s break it down and give you a few important things to consider!
Where to Visit? England, Scotland, Britain, UK, United Kingdom….
This can get confusing so let’s start out by getting a few things straight!
England is part of what is officially called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That’s a very long name to keep using! So to make things a little easier, we’ll just call it the UK.
The UK is made up of 4 regions – England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. And across the border from Northern Ireland lies the country of Ireland (which is totally independent from the UK.)
So the first question to ask when looking for an England vacation package. Are you looking just to visit England? Or do you also want to visit other parts of the United Kingdom as well?
There are a few ways to plan an England Vacation Package. You could visit:
100% England Packages (we’ve got plenty of amazing things to see here!)
England with Scotland Packages: Combine a trip and go to Scotland as well!
England, Scotland & Ireland Packages: The big trip! These vacation packages sometimes also include Northern Ireland as well. For this size of trip, we recommend packages that are at least 2 weeks long!
And what about Wales? Many of the vacation packages also include 1 or 2 days in Wales
So in this article, we’ll divide up our vacation packages into 4 – ‘100% England Packages’, ‘England & Scotland Packages’, ‘England & Ireland Packages’ & finally ‘Special Packages’
What are our special vacation packages? Well… these are packages that are based around a specific theme or event. In 2023, we have the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo Parade in July.
Plus we’ve got some amazing vacation packages for Downton Abbey fans, Game of Thrones fans, Outlander fans, as well as some awesome walking trips, railway trips and even adventure trips!
That’s a lot of England vacation packages to sift through! So please use the contents at the top of the page to navigate directly to what interests you.
We hope you find this guide useful. Please contact the Tourist England team if you have any questions!
FAQ
How much would a trip to England cost?
This really depends on the length of your vacation package and the size of the group. Prices can range anywhere from $1,800 per person for an 8 day trip in a large group to over $5,000 for a 14-day small-group tour of England.
How many days do you need in England?
We would say that at least 7 days is a good amount of time to explore many of the highlights of England and get a feel for the country. Of course, you could easily spend many more days exploring the best of England, Scotland and Ireland with our amazing vacation packages from London!
How Can I spend 10 days in the UK?
We have many package tours that are 10 days in duration. Typically these trips depart from London and you can expect to spend 7-8 days in England, with 2-3 days in Scotland. With these kinds of holidays, you will normally travel in a loop, travelling north from London along the east side of England, heading into Scotland and then returning to London via the west side of England, with a little bit of Wales as well. Regions you’ll visit include Yorkshire, the Lake District, Scotland and London.
Do these vacation packages include financing options?
Many of the packages offer financing options, allowing you to spread out the cost of the trip over multiple payments. Many of the tours also require a low-value deposit in order to secure your place on the tour.
Do all-inclusive vacations get cheaper closer to date?
Normally booking well in advance is a good way to get a great price on vacation deals, since travel companies like people to book early. Vacation packages will only get cheaper closer to the travel date if the travel company is struggling to fill up the tour.
Is there a package to London and Paris?
We have a 9-day London and Paris vacation package that’s perfect for you! Spend a few days in London before hopping over the English channel and spend some time exploring the French capital.
Do you have mini-vacation packages to England?
Yes, we also have a selection of multi-day tours from London that last 2-5 days, as well as Scotland minibreaks from Edinburgh. These are great options if you are looking to visit a lot of sights but are pressed for time.
