Is this trip right for you?
Please note that most of the travels on this trip is done by train. While this is fantastic and sustainable way to move around, you will be responsible for shifting you bags to and from the trains and moving them round the station. Sometimes a short walk from your hotel to the train station is also required. Please pack carefully and do not bring any unnecessary items with you. Suggested weight of your luggage should not exceed 12 to 15 kg.

Important notes
1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please note that due to the small properties we use in Europe there is only a limited amount of single supplements available per trip departure. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. You don't have a lot of time in London at the start and the end of the trip, so if you're keen to explore this spectacular city in depth we recommend you arrive a day or two before the start of the trip and/or extend your stay at the end.

After travelling around Southwest England, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring Devon and Cornwall. Beautiful coastal walks and views that combine with a touch of culture and history. A definite must if you would love to try clotted cream and scones, Cornish cider, high tea or a traditional Cornish pasty. I loved the walk from Minack Theatre to Land's End. We were spoilt with seal spotting, the beauty of the landscape and being surrounded by a range of wild flowers and plants.

We would not recommend this trip. Too many corners were cut to save money. Our itinerary was changed to include a less desirable stop. Train home was also changed and it stopped at every station back to London. Most hotels were just OK. Difficulty of tour was supposed to be a 2 which it was more like a 4. Tour guide was not from England. We did not stay at the hotel with the group our last night. One night there was enough.
