Good experience with Expat Explore's GBTOUR tour. While some nearby places were missed, the tour offered enjoyable moments. However, extended coach rides felt like time could have been better spent.
As winter days are shorter I feel that it requires time adjustments, specially the first three days, from York to Edinburg. Me and my wife felt that in order to make the tour more attractive you could skip some of the little towns and give us more time in cities like York, that we almost didn't see anything because by the time we got there was dark. The last day of the tour, if you don't buy the optionals, you cannot see anything but souvenir shops and, although we did paid for the optional sale, we found this a little harsh for the people that do not want or didn't have the budget. The tour leader and the driver are great people and overall we had a good time. We like Expat, this is our second tour with them, and we are already booked for 2 more, but we definitely think that the GB tour in winter time should be different.
I enjoyed the tour and all the places visited were great. I would have loved to have spend more time doing a tour, but I had limited time available, so this tour suited well.
