Royal Tour of Britain

Royal-history rail journey across London, York, and Edinburgh

Railbookers' Royal Tour of Britain is a 10-day, 9-night independent rail package built around British royal history. It begins in London, where three full days include private visits to Hampton Court and Windsor Castle, described in the evidence as Queen Elizabeth II's final resting place. From London, travelers take the train north to York, a historic walled city with ties to the medieval House of Plantagenet and to Queen Victoria. The journey continues on to Edinburgh to complete the three-city route. As an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers arrange their own sightseeing in each city and make their own way to the train for each leg. It suits travelers with an interest in British royal history who want a self-directed pace rather than a guided group tour.
