Awesome UK Tour

This was a fantastic decision to go on a tour with Tours4fun starting the tour from London and covering major attractions around UK & Scotland. It was big group, major Chinese people so there was a bit language issue but Mickey as tour guide managed it well

7-Day England & Scotland Classic Loop Tour: London, Edinburgh, York, Cambridge, Lake District & Stratford-upon-Avon

This was such a memorable trip! The booking process was seamless and the 24-hour support gave me confidence before departure. The itinerary is packed but very well organized. York felt like stepping back in time, and the Highlands scenery was stunning. Hotels were clean and breakfast was decent every day. Our guide really made the trip fun and informative. Would absolutely travel with this company again.

A Flexible and Fun Adventure

This trip was such a great mix of flexibility and guided exploration. The boat ride on Lake Windermere was so peaceful, and I loved getting to choose how much time we spent in each city. The highlight for me was definitely York’s city walls – what a way to step back in time!
