my UK vacation

[disneyvacationmom]

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me out--I am planning a trip to England--landing in Manchester May 17--we will be based in the Crewe/Nantwich area. We are planning a trip into London--I am looking for a tour(2 days only) including train/coach and hotel--ideally I would like a sight seeing tour included but otherwise hotel and train would do. I need the name of some tour companies that I could contact. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Kathy

Just wanted to say Hi Kathy , can't really help with the tour company but wanted to say hi from Crewe!!!, have you ever visited Chester?

I'd recommend SuperBreak. They're a tour company over here in the UK that do specialist trips to London. They usual consist of trips to the theatre to see a show combined in with a London hotel. You can usually get a good central location in London with them also.

They offer other things also, like trips on the London Eye (great to get a birdseye view of the city) and usually have a few restaurants that you can book through them too.

PM me if you need the weblink, as I don't think I can post it here

You don't need to book a tour in advance. London has a lot of tour companies. They all have open top buses that visit all the top locations and they do a hop on/hop off service so you buy a ticket for the day, then stay on the bus when you want and get off at which ever tourist spots interest you.

Here are a couple of examples:

Thanks everyone--I have checked superbreaks and so far it looks like that's who I'm going with. I had tried Newmarket tours who had a great weekend deal but it isn't running the weekend I'm in England. I have never been to England and hope to see as much as possible in the 10 days I'm there--I am going to Chester for the day, Staleybridge(the town where my mother-in-law came from), Stonehenge,Bath and Salisbury, Liverpool(my son is a big fan of Peter Crouch-even though he's not joining us), London and Wales--we will be busy but the people we are staying with seem up for the role of tour guide. I am so looking forward to it.

That sounds fantastic, you've got a great trip planned there by the looks of it! Coming up to Liverpool also, good time to vist, it's Captial of Culture in 2008 There'll be plenty going on!

Superbreaks are very reliable, as are the bus companies that where mentioned. They do great tours around London!
