Contiki has its six-day England to Edinburgh tour reduced, from £653 for the 25 November departure, down from £725. That gets you from London to Edinburgh via Windsor, Bath, Oxford, Liverpool, York and the Lake District, with five hotel nights and the transport between them already sorted.
It is aimed at 18 to 35s, and this is not a flight-inclusive package. But if you are happy getting yourself to London and home from Edinburgh, it is a very tidy way to turn a lot of Britain into one week rather than a tangle of separate trains and hotel bookings.
What the £653 covers
Contiki lists five nights in hotels, five breakfasts, one dinner, internal coach travel, an expert Trip Manager and local guides, plus six included experiences. Contiki marks the £653 fare as “price based on limited departures”, so it applies to specific Classic dates rather than every date on the calendar. On 27 October the 25 to 30 November departure carried the 10% saving at £653 (usually £725). The earlier 11 November departure was £775, so the discounted date is the one to look for.
The route runs from London to Edinburgh and includes Windsor, Bath, Bristol, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, York, the Lake District, Carlisle and Hadrian’s Wall.
