The Great Britain tour is a whirlwind of sightseeing, medieval history and culture throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Practice your Liverpudlian accent because you're going to the birthplace of rock and roll's original Fab Four - The Beatles! Then go highbrow as you visit the University town of Oxford. You don't need a crown to stroll Edinburgh's Royal Mile but you may need binoculars to search for the elusive Loch Ness monster. Add to that drinking Guinness, kissing the Blarney Stone, sampling Irish whisky, castles, cathedrals and craic, and you've got an all encompassing Great Britain and Ireland experience!
