Overview
Coast through rolling hills, ferry across legendary waterways, and skip down cobblestone streets...read more to discover the wonders of Stonehenge, Waterford, York, and more on this essential tour of Britain and Ireland. Along the way, you’ll drink in the sights of fairytale castles and storybook settings as well as the locally brewed ales, strong Irish coffees, and perfectly aged scotch whiskeys passionately poured in every pub. Factor in time to shop for bits and bobs and taste local favourites like fish and chips, and you’d be off your trolley not to come along!
While you’re sampling shepherd’s pie and shandy, why not try a little soufflé and champagne, too? It’s easy when you add a 3-day Monograms holiday to Paris to your tour of Britain and Ireland. Board the high-speed Eurostar train for guided sightseeing and ample time on your own to explore the storied streets and inviting cafés along the Seine.
