Day 1 - Monday

Arrivals to Central London and a behind-the-scenes day in London to remember. Overnight accommodations at Middle Eight Hotel, London.

Day 2 - Tuesday

As we head out of London today, which direction will we take? Surrounding London there are a plethora of unique sites, yet your tour director has some very special things planned for you. After a day filled with stunning locations, you’ll rest comfortably, spending the night in a historic property.

Day 3 - Wednesday

Here’s a hint: It’s a grand house not normally open to the public, yet one of England’s best! Later you’ll see an even more famous house – you might know the name, yet you’ve probably never seen it in person. Tonight, you’ll be sleeping in a spectacular property frequented by royalty and celebrities.

Day 4 - Thursday

Question of the day: “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Tonight, we’ll check into our home for the next two nights – they’ve had a few hundred years of service under their belt and some rather good royal connections (so they know what they’re doing).

Day 5 - Friday

Today’s agenda will be a bit of a laugh. Or will it? Joined by a renowned expert, we’ll dive into a uniquely English institution. Tonight’s accommodation is the same as the evening before.

Day 6 - Saturday

As we venture back to London, we’ll take the opportunity to discover a few more hidden gems. They’ll all be new to you, yet they incorporate the very best of Britain. Tonight, we will dine in an unforgettable location. It might very well be the highlight of the week – that’s for you to decide. The day will end back at London’s Middle Eight Hotel.

Day 7 - Sunday

Morning departures after breakfast from London’s Middle Eight Hotel where the excitement started previously.
