Make it your day

Every Tour Britannia tour is private, so the itinerary is a starting point, not a script.

This is the route most of our guests take, but you can change any of it. Your guide plans the day around you before you travel and stays flexible on the day itself. You can linger longer wherever you’re enjoying yourself, skip anything that doesn’t appeal, or stop wherever something catches your eye.

Ways to tailor this tour
  • Stop at Stonehenge on the way to Bath
  • Visit Lacock, where the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice was filmed
  • Finish with afternoon tea in Bath
  • Stay on in Bath and we’ll drop you at your hotel there instead of London
  • Get picked up from Heathrow, or from Southampton if you’re arriving by cruise ship
  • Spread it over two days and add Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and Winchester Cathedral, where she is buried

Tell us what you’d like when you book, or ask us first. We’ll confirm the plan, and any change to the price, before you pay.
