Great British Trips are a tailored tour company who specialise in independent travel in the UK and Ireland through sister company Great Irish Trips. We work with customers (both business and direct with travelers) to create a unique itinerary that is perfectly tailored to the needs of the passengers. Specialising in self-guided (independent travel) tours, we can also offer full or part guided tours. Our extensive website offers you a choice of over 60 UK destinations plus Irish destinations and over 1000 UK attractions which can be included in your itinerary. We also offer over 100 day tours throughout the UK which may be included in your package along with accommodation and transport to suit your needs. Our prices enable us in most cases to make a tailored holiday cheaper than if you were to book the individual items yourself so why take the tour bus?

Sometimes, the best way to see England is to slow down. 🌿🚗

Take the scenic route through the rolling landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, wander through charming villages in the Cotswolds, and enjoy long lunches, country pubs, peaceful walks and the simple beauty of the English countryside.

For leisure travellers, it’s all about taking your time, soaking up the scenery and enjoying the journey, not just the destination. ✨

🌿 Did you know you can enjoy a true farm-to-table experience in Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍴

Step away from the usual tourist trail and spend time in the Scottish countryside, enjoying locally sourced food, meeting local farmers, and taking in breathtaking rural views.

Think delicious farm-fresh BBQs, locally produced ingredients, friendly conversations, and authentic Scottish hospitality. 🥩🍦🌄

You can even add experiences like meeting the animals or watching traditional working dog demonstrations for an extra taste of rural life. 🐕🦌
