The Best of England

12-day independent rail trip through four English cities

Railbookers runs this 12-day, 11-night independent rail package through four English cities: London, Liverpool, Manchester, and York, before returning to London at the end. The operator describes the cities as connected by seamless train routes, with time in London built around a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath alongside sightseeing in the city itself. In Liverpool, the trip focuses on the birthplace of The Beatles and the city's maritime history. As an independent rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own sightseeing at each stop while Railbookers arranges the train travel and logistics between cities. Priced from $2,349 per person, about $196 a day, it suits travelers who want to cover several English cities by train on a single trip while planning their own days once they arrive.
