Good to know

Practical details to read before you travel.

  • Passport & visas

    This tour crosses between the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland) and the Republic of Ireland, each with its own entry rules; neither is in the Schengen area.

    UAE passport holders apply for a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) online before travelling; EU, US, Canadian and Australian passport holders use the same ETA. Most other nationalities living in the UAE need a UK Standard Visitor visa, applied for in Dubai, with 15 to 20 working days to process after your appointment.

    Ireland has its own, separate visa. Whether you need one depends on your passport, and our visa team checks and applies on your behalf. Because the tour crosses between Northern Ireland and the Republic, you need entry permission for both the UK and Ireland: our visa team handles both applications when you book.

  • Flights and timings

    Flights to and from London aren’t included. Day 1 starts at 06:30 outside the Novotel London Greenwich hotel, next to Greenwich station. With a 06:30 start, fly in the day before: the Novotel and the Ibis Greenwich are both right at the pick-up point. Your tour leader’s contact details reach you about a week before you travel, in case you have trouble getting there. Two ferry crossings, Liverpool to Dublin and Belfast to Scotland, are built into the coach journey and do not need separate booking.

    The tour ends back in London on day 13, in the early evening.

    Our team can book your flights from Dubai to match.

  • Meals and dietary needs

    Breakfast is included every day except day 1, and dinner on six evenings, including welcome and farewell dinners. Lunch is on you, other than a stop included in Conwy on day 3, which leaves room to try local pubs and cafes along the way.

    Tell us about any dietary needs, halal included, when you book, and we pass them on before the tour.

  • Money

    You will use two currencies on this tour: the pound sterling in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the euro in the Republic of Ireland. Cards are widely accepted in both, so you need little cash day to day.

    Optional experiences booked on tour are paid to your tour leader in cash or by card, in the currency shown.

  • Weather and packing

    This tour runs March to October across five countries, so pack layers you can adjust through the day and a proper rain jacket: Ireland, Wales and Scotland see rain in any month. Comfortable, broken-in shoes matter most, given walking tours of up to three hours on cobbled streets in Bath, York and elsewhere.

  • Free days and optional experiences

    Three days are free for you to spend as you choose: in Dublin, Killarney and Edinburgh. Dublin and Killarney each have a full day of optional excursions on offer, and some must be pre-booked at least two weeks ahead because of limited numbers, so tell us early if you want to join one.

Plan your trip

Our Dubai team arranges what goes around the tour, so it is booked in one place.

  • Visas

    Check the visa for each country on the route. Our visa team in Dubai applies for UAE residents once the tour is booked. For Ireland, ask them what your passport needs.

    United Kingdom visaAsk our visa team

  • Flights

    Flights are not included. We can book them with the tour: Dubai to London and back. Tick “Flights” when you book and we quote them with your confirmation.

  • Pay in instalments

Questions about this tour

  • What will my days actually look like?

    Full days, zero filler. Most mornings start with breakfast before heading out to the main sights with your Tour Leader or a local guide. Afternoons often include free time to wander, find a coffee or join an Optional Experience. Expect a good amount of walking too. On some days, you could spend two to three hours on your feet. Comfortable shoes are your best friend.

  • Who will I be travelling with?

    People from all over the world. Different ages, different backgrounds, same instinct to see more. Groups have on average between 35-45 travellers. By day three, you’ll already know everyone's name.

  • What are the hotels like?

    Clean, comfortable and well located. Mostly 3 to 4 star, with private en-suite bathrooms. They're chosen so you can sleep well and feel ready for the next day. They're not the centrepiece. The destinations are. But they're never an afterthought.

  • How active is this tour?

    All travellers carry their own bags, including up hotel stairs where needed. Walking tours can last up to three hours, and some sites involve a fair number of steps. Read through the itinerary to decide if the pace is right for you.

  • How do Optional Experiences work?

    Optional Experiences happen during your tour's free-time slots, and your Tour Leader will tell you about what's on offer during the tour. Most can be booked on the day, but some are pre-sold and must be purchased before your tour begins, so it's worth checking the tour page beforehand to see what's available and get in touch with our team to book anything in advance.

  • Will I have time to explore on my own?

    Yes. Free time is built into the itinerary, giving you space to wander and explore at your own pace. Your Tour Leader can point you towards the places worth your time, so you're never left completely to figure it out yourself.

  • What support do I have while I'm on tour?

    Your Tour Leader is there to look after you during your tour. They know the places most people walk straight past, they'll have a restaurant recommendation ready before you've asked, and they'll sort anything that comes up along the way. All transport and accommodation are arranged for you.

    You'll also have a 24-hour emergency contact number and the Holidayys team in Dubai.

  • How do I book Best of UK & Ireland?

    Press Book now, choose a date and your rooms, and enter each traveller as their passport shows. We hold your seats and email your booking reference straight away. Our Dubai team confirms the seats with the tour operator, then emails you a secure payment link. Nothing is charged when you book.

  • When do I pay?

    Once the tour operator confirms your seats. We email you a secure payment link for the total in AED, and your booking is complete when it is paid. To pay in instalments, say so in your booking notes.

  • Is the price per person?

    Yes. Prices are per person sharing a double or twin room. Travelling alone? A single room costs the supplement shown next to each date.

  • Are flights included?

    Only when the tour lists them under what is included. We can book flights from the UAE to the start city and home from the end city with your tour.

  • Do I need a visa?

    That depends on your passport and the countries on the route. Our visa team arranges Schengen and other visas for UAE residents, and can apply for yours once the tour is booked.
