England: London, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Roman Baths, Royal Pavilion, BigBen

When is the best time to visit England??? Summer, of course!!! August offers the best temperatures, and we can escape our heat wave back home.

We will have a pre-trip dinner mixer in early August to get together, meet your fellow travelers, go over final details, answer questions, and optimize our packing. Everyone should plan to attend.

Come join our 11 day tour that focuses on Southern England. We will fly together from Tucson (or Phoenix), or I will fly you so we meet at the airport hub in the US or in London. We will have a local guide and an Air Conditioned bus for 9 days. Plus, we'll arrive a day early to rest up, sightsee, and recover from jetlag before meeting the guide and other travelers.

YOUR PASSPORT BOOK MUST BE VALID UNTIL MARCH 2, 2026 OR LATER. IF IT EXPIRES BEFORE, YOU MUST GET IT RENEWED PRIOR TO TRAVEL.

AIRFARE UPGRADES:
You have the option to upgrade to extra legroom seats, premium economy, or business class. Exact pricing will not be available until the end of September 2024. Air will need to be paid in full at that time so extra payments will be needed to cover this. We always get seat assignments in advance for all of our trips, regardless of which class of service you've paid for.

COST:
$4999/person (double occupancy)
+$999 for single occupancy

DEPOSIT: (due asap)
$1000 (plus any additional insurance premium for 55+ or air upgrade)
Monthly payments will be needed to meet my deadlines. Your spot is not guaranteed until deposit has been received.

FINAL PAYMENT:
All monies must be in by April 15, 2025.

ROOMMATE PAIRING/ROOMS:
I can assist you in finding a roommate, but it's not guaranteed. You may need to pay for a single room when you sign up to ensure you get on the trip. Rooms will have 2 twin beds, unless you are a couple (or a single) requesting 1 bed. King and queen beds are rarely available in European countries so you may get a full sized bed.

A signed waiver is due from all travelers. All monies are non-refundable, but you will have travel insurance in case of a covered cancellation. No animals, medicinal marijuana or illegal drugs permitted. Local laws will determine if you can buy marijuana in the UK. Pricing is accurate at time of posting but exact airfare pricing is not known yet. The total price could change, and you will be responsible for any increases.
