Although it is one unified nation, the four countries that comprise this island kingdom are very distinct. They all have beautiful, green landscapes and rocky cliffs, but that’s just about where the similarities end. As you tour each country, you’ll get to know their unique histories, legends, and lifestyles:
Scotland: The northernmost territory, you can visit interesting sites like the Hebrides (a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Scottish-Gaelic culture is still alive and a 13th century abbey & nunnery can be found); the Shetland & Orkney Islands; or the famous Edinburgh, which maintains its medieval feeling even today.
England: Home to the capital city of London, you will tour this prominent nation via the proud Thames River. You will see the Isle of Wight, where the Royal Osborne House served as one of Queen Victoria's favorite residences.
Wales: Tucked in the corner, just across from Ireland, Wales is home to beautiful scenery, tranquil coastal villages, and the site where the stones from Stonehenge were taken. Stroll along the beach or board a Zodiac to see whales, seals, and dolphins. You can also buy some of the softest Welsh wool.
Northern Ireland: Here, you will see Belfast, perhaps most famous as the birthplace of the HMS Titanic. Here, you can explore the streets for this traditional town, visit the local ship-building & Titanic museums, or check out the mythical Giant's Causeway on the Antrim plateau.

My travel planner, Jeff, who is on top of his field (based on travel industry awards), is a highly professional, very effective and, at the same time, personally nice individual. What was also critical to me is that he has a first hand experience traveling in the region that I am going to.
On top of that, the customer relations director, Sarah, has personally followed up to make sure I'm happy.
