we had an amazing family trip to the UK and the pre trip experience was great too! the itinerary was excellent with the hotel selections and the guided tours.

Hotel Reviews
The Grand, York
North Yorkshire

2 minute walk from the train station and a short walk into the center of town so a perfect location for exploring and a beautiful hotel. we arrived at 7:30pm and had a delicious dinner in the restaurant which was so perfect after travelling all afternoon and i highly recommend the breakfast buffet. spa area was fine. our rooms were large, spotless and very comfortable. staff was very friendly and helpful. this might have been my favourite hotel of our week.

chocolate bar making was a fun activity and the space was great. We preferred the authentic and smaller feel of the venue we visited. Overall, it was a great activity for the family.

The walking tour of Bath with a Blue Badge Tourist Guide was a great way to get to know the city. The guide was informative and entertaining, and we got to see all the major sights. The group tour format allowed us to meet other travelers and share the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bath.
