Special Interest
The UK and Ireland is blessed with landscape, culture and heritage to offer almost any type of special interest tour. From stunning country houses and formal gardens to quintessential english tea rooms and quaint village antique shops ; form challenging golf courses to famous author tours such as Shakespeare or Dickens; or maybe a tour of the numerous historic castles of Britain and Ireland, many of which have been used in films and TV such as Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. This wide variety of locations and unique attractions means that, whatever your special interest, UK travel Designers has the local knowledge and expertise to put together a bespoke tour that exceeds expectations.
World War II Heritage Sites
We operate many tours to World War II heritage sites, such as Normandy beaches, and can arrange special visits to military facilities incorporating lectures and educational presentations. We can also incorporate performance opportunities at these poignant and historical locations.
Custom Tours
Custom special-interest tours, tailored to the theatre, can also be arranged which can include back-stage tours, specialist workshops (such as musical theatre, stage combat and costume design) and talks by West End actors.
Garden Tours
The UK and Ireland is blessed with many wonderful formal gardens, stately homes and world renowned flower shops. We can tailor-make a fascinating tour incorporating some of the major gardens as well as some lesser known private homes with talks given by the head gardeners.
“ As an American historian leading tours to Great Britain and France, I’ve come to depend on Robin Jackson and Uk Travel Designers for the success of our program. They coordinate our plans and meet our needs superbly. I can’t imagine doing tours without them.”
