A country full of history, natural wonders, and top-rated attractions, England offers a wide array of activities and pursuits for all ages. Guided tours through England's most notable cities and counties can assure that visitors get the most out of their stay.
London is a city of historical landmarks, cultural centers, shopping, vibrant nightlife and various entertainment venues for everyone. It is also a great starting point for touring the rest of England, from seaside to countryside.
Atlas Cruises & Tours is a "Top Producer" for the world's leading tour operators, including:
Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the country's top places to visit. The
birthplace of William Shakespeare, located on the Avon River, it's home
to the Royal Shakespeare Company and Theatre. Stratford also has country
gardens and homes nearby open to visitors.
The town of Bristol's attractions include the world's first oceanliner,
the Clifton Suspension Bridge located on the cliffs of the Avon Gorge,
and the Bristol Zoo Gardens, the world's fifth oldest zoo.
York hosts the National Railway Museum, countryside castles and
gardens, and lavender fields to delight the senses. York also hosts
numerous ghost tours and stories of hauntings for a different kind of
thrill.
Bath is a destination to relax in the style of Roman decadence. Home to
hot springs, the Roman Baths were built as a temple and bathing
complex. In the summer, the exhibit is open late and tours are conducted
by torchlight. The Royal Crescent and the Circus are landmark
architecture sites that helped Bath become a World Heritage site. The
Jane Austen Centre provides a look at Regency times with rooftop tea
rooms. The Thermae Bath Spa offers visitors the opportunity to
experience the hot springs themselves, a welcome break during or after
sightseeing.
Kent, England's oldest county, is known as the Garden of England. Along
beautiful coastline in southeast England, Kent is home to both
Cantebury and Leeds Castles as well as the White Cliffs of Dover. Many
beaches add to the attractions and are great for outdoor activities.
Cornwall is another great destination for activities for both old and
young. Cornwall is home to the National Maritime Museum, the National
Seal Sanctuary, and several adventure parks. Cornwall activities can
range from birdwatching to adventurous watersports.
The Lake District offers everything for history buffs and outdoor
enthusiats alike. Part of the National Parks system, there are endless
places to explore on foot or by bicycle. Lovers of history can travel
down a 2000 year old Roman road, visit Roman ruins, stone circles, and
old mills and mines. The scenery can be a tour itself, as you simply
enjoy the countryside.
England offers many places to see and things to do and guided tours make it easy.
Few countries in the world can rival England's infinite variety. Cozy
pubs, Shakespeare, Stonehenge, Wimbledon and London just to name a few.
Enjoy historic sites, theatre, museums, Buckingham Palace, the Crown
Jewels, formal gardens, shopping and more.
History fans will certainly be kept busy in London; every antiquated
street corner in England’s capital tells a captivating story, especially
with such magnificent mansions as Buckingham Palace, or spine-chilling
fortresses as the Tower of London to explore. From the Tate Modern art
gallery to the Royal Opera House, culture connoisseurs can enjoy some of
the most acclaimed museums, art galleries and performance venues in the
world.
Shopping can be found in several areas of London, including Oxford
Street, Saville Row, Bond and Regent Streets.
Take day trips to surrounding areas including Oxford,
Stratford-Upon-Avon and Cambridge or travel deeper into the countryside
or delve deeper into the southern English countryside and the
spectacular pagan monoliths of Stonehenge are sure to impress. There’s
also a wealth of ancient cities such as nearby Glastonbury where King
Arthur is buried, the Roman settlement of Bath and picturesque Salisbury
with its world famous cathedral. In Northern England you can visit
Chester, York, Leeds, Durham and the Lake District.
We have a large selection of England tours. Focus on spending all your
time in London or perhaps hop on a train and enjoy Paris or Amsterdam
for a few days.
Take a tour of Northern or Southern England, and if you have the time,
combine travel to Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well. There are several
itineraries that cater to families traveling to England.
England can be damp and rainy. We suggest clients travel in May, June
and October if possible. If you want to visit the gardens at their
peak, then the end of March and early April is the best time. Winter
travel, which is considered to be November through March, is cheaper
than traveling in the summer months, but of course you will experience a
little colder weather.
