England is a land blessed with gently rolling hills, cool rivers and verdant forests – an expanse of green from the North Sea to the English Channel. The celebrated Lake District is among the most beautiful places on earth, with glacial lakes shimmering in the muted North Sea sun.

But it’s the cities of Britain that will truly capture your imagination – from the stately grandeur of London to the charming university halls of Cambridge, from the medieval streets of ancient York to Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare’s spirit lives on for all eternity.

Journey to the enchanting north where the immensity of Scotland’s starkly dramatic highlands will astound you. Delight in Edinburgh, a masterpiece of architectural glory, and experience the fascinating Loch Ness, as beautiful as it is mysterious.

This unassuming brick townhouse may seem ordinary, but don’t let the appearance fool you. Behind the front door lies a network of formal rooms, offices and a large security detail that controls all access. The building is so well defended that the Prime Minister himself does not have a key! 13 Sightseeing Tours • Bath City Sightseeing Tour • Bristol City Sightseeing Tour • Manchester City Sightseeing Tour • Oxford City Sightseeing Tour • Stratford City Sightseeing Tour GREAT BRITAIN GREAT Great Britain • Liverpool Sightseeing Tour • Cardiff City Sightseeing Tour • Chester City Sightseeing Tour TRANSFERS • Airport Transfers Available

The north is a wonderland of clear lakes and imposing snow-capped mountains. Tuscany unfolds with lavish villas and quaint farmhouses scattered about rolling hills and pastures. And the southern beaches are filled with days of endless sunshine and golden warmth.

Italian cities are veritable storehouses of artistic and historical brilliance. Venice’s canals serve as a sparkling backdrop for architectural grandeur. The artistic treasures of Florence include extraordinary sculptures by Michelangelo, Bernini and Raphael. Rome’s glory includes the awe-inspiring Coliseum and Michelangelo’s marvel - the Sistine Chapel, tucked away within the Vatican’s regal halls. Milan is the place where fashion rules, the Last Supper defies time inside the unassuming church of Santa Maria della Grazie, and the Duomo is at the center of it all.

The Islands of Italy sparkle like jewels across the bays of the mainland, and the ancient land of Sicily stands as a testament to its many occupiers from Greek to Norman, Arab to Byzantine.

In addition to the sites, travelers will find unsurpassed cuisine and incomparable shopping. A trip to Italy is more than just a getaway - it’s an adventure into true cultural splendor.

Budapest is actually a merging of three cities straddling the luminous Danube River: the tradition-oriented Buda, the residential Obuda and the modern Pest. Here you’ll discover medieval spires, gothic cathedrals, elegant bridges and stirring ramparts. The old Jewish Quarter is a fascinating witness to hundreds of years of history. Soaking in the city’s ornate traditional baths (some dating back many centuries) has been compared to bathing in a palace or a museum.
