Britain is small enough to cross by coach in a day, and this tour makes good use of that. In one week you go from the old stone colleges of Oxford to the football cities of Liverpool and Manchester, then north to Edinburgh's castle hill and the lakes and hills of Scotland, before ending in London.

Day 2 starts in Oxford, with the Bodleian Library and the Radcliffe Camera, then goes to Liverpool for Anfield, the Royal Liver Building and the Albert Dock. On Day 3 you see Holyrood Palace and St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. Day 4 is a trip to Loch Lomond, the largest lake in Britain, and a tour of Glasgow. Day 5 is Manchester, with Old Trafford, and Day 7 is London, from Buckingham Palace and Westminster to Tower Bridge and Battersea Power Station.

The coach days are long, especially Day 2 from London to Oxford, Liverpool and Southport. Most sights are visited from outside, and lunch is not included. But there are mosque stops in Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester and London, plus a day of outlet shopping at Cheshire Oaks, and the gratuities are already included.
