A Royal Engagement

2012 is going to be a very royal year! With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee just around the corner we have a selection of tours that will keep you entertained well after the Jubilee is over.

The Diamond Jubilee marks 60 years of the Queen’s reign, and London will be celebrating with a long weekend of events. Buckingham Palace will be co-ordinating arrangements including a formal procession to St Paul's Cathedral, a Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames and the lighting of 2012 beacons throughout the United Kingdom! The whole city of London will be buzzing with festivities! You can be there with our Diamond Jubilee tour...

The Royal Family have a fascinating history; we have put together a selection of tours that enable you to visit some of the most historical places in the UK.


The Royal Tour of Scotland enables you to experience some of the history surrounding the Royal family. This Royal tour will visit The Royal Yacht Britannia, once home to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family, and includes free time in Edinburgh, home to the famous Royal Mile and Holyrood house. A great evening performance is to be had at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and the tour includes a visit to the typical fairy tale Castle of Glamis, childhood home of the HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and the legendary setting for Shakespeare's "Macbeth".

Grand Royal Tour of London is a popular Royal tour. Every year this tour enables you visit to three of London’s most popular Royal attractions. Buckingham Palace, which is open for only two months of the year, the magnificent staterooms of Windsor Castle, one of three official residences of the Queen and home to the sovereign for over 900 years, and to compliment this trip, enjoy a River Thames cruise, lasting 30 minutes, travelling to the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels.  The history of the crown jewels is fascinating, they were stolen once by Colonel Blood but he was caught soon after!
