Detailed Description

Let romance lead the way during a fascinating 10-day tour of England, Scotland, and Ireland filled with a superb collection of quaint villages and fascinating castles. Old-World charm meets the luxuries of world-class accommodations to blend the cosmopolitan chic of London with quiet seclusion of Cotswold villages, the medieval views of Edinburgh and Georgian allure of Dublin. Whether on a honeymoon or a romantic getaway for two, the beauty of your tour of England, Scotland, and Ireland will represent the splendor of true romantics.

Your journey will begin in London, where you settle quickly into the comforts of your hotel. Your time in the English capital features the fast-pace of city life amid the village-like charms spread across the different neighborhoods. Enjoy lavish vistas, serene teashops, and sensational history found in Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and the home of Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre. Stroll through the lavish galleries of the British Museum in search of artifacts that showcase various cultures’ pasts, including the Rosetta Stone. Then, quietly wander the trails of Hyde Park, London’s largest park.

The villages collectively known as the Cotswolds welcome you as they harbor the quintessential charisma of the British countryside with thatched-roof cottages and serene rivers. Visit a farm known for spearheading the sustainable, organic movement in the region and wander a hedge-maze in the cozy ambiance of Bourton-on-the-Water. Celebrate the inspiring words of Shakespeare when you visit his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and enjoy the soothing aroma of lavender emanating from lavish, vast fields.

The city of Edinburgh will be your home in Scotland. Embrace the stunning medieval streets of the historical center that lead to the stunning complex of Edinburgh Castle. Antique stores connect the castle gates to the luxurious entryway to Holyrood Palace. On the outskirts of the city, you will have an immersive tour of the sublime countryside of Scotland.  Visit a curated selection of elaborate aristocratic castles including Sterling and Rosslyn castle before returning to the sensational ambiance of Edinburgh.

Dublin, Ireland hosts your final leg of the romantic journey that leads you from the United Kingdom to the Emerald Isle. Spend time in Dublin learning the ancient history and fascinating culture on display at Trinity College. Learn about the mischievous Irish author, Oscar Wilde, and sip a true pint of Guinness after a factory tour. On the outskirts of Dublin, you will cross the shimmering hills and fields to visit the fascinating Cliffs of Moher and captivating ancient temple at Newgrange.

England Vacation Review: London, Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon,...

We absolutely loved our England adventure and already wish we could go back. It was a perfect balance of English countryside, history, and culture.

All our hotels were wonderful. The lodge in Broadway was such an extraordinary place to stay—the property was so historic, but the rooms and amenities were modern. We loved the pool and gym, and delicious food/drink they offered. We also took advantage of the playground down the street every evening after dinner—it had a zipline and a beautiful vista. The lodge at Warwick was also amazing, such a fun place to stay for families with young kids. We also really enjoyed our hotel in London. The location was ideal as we could walk to restaurants and we had a tube station right there.

Our drivers were also very professional and friendly, and made the transfers between locations so simple and stress-free for us. Honestly we have nothing but good things to say about every moment of this vacation, from the afternoon tea to the "Harry Potter" studio tour.

Scotland Travel Review: Private Driver, Highlands, Culloden...

This was my first time planning an overseas trip for myself, plus a friend, and integrating a third person into the trip halfway! There were lots of moving parts. Thanks to Zicasso's tour company, I started out not knowing what I wanted to see, to having a perfect trip, with fantastic accommodations, wonderful drivers, and amazing adventures!

Ireland Tour Review: Kilkenny, Kinsale, Galway, Forty Foot,...

We had a wonderful trip. Everything was executed flawlessly, which made it so easy and relaxing for us. The hotels that were chosen were great. Our driver/guide was amazing and the perfect companion.

The only advice I would give is to include driving times on the itinerary so we would know how far things were from each other. But I would 100% recommend Zicasso's travel company to anyone traveling to Ireland. I can’t wait to go again!

Ireland Tour Review: Off-the-Beaten-Path Sites, History,...

This was our first time booking a trip through Zicasso and we were very happy with the experience. We were connected with an exceptional agent in Ireland who knew all the great, off-the-beaten-path sites. Our accommodations were beyond our expectations. Each driver we had was friendly and knowledgeable.
