Why Us?

Value for Your Money? Yes. Our trips vary in length from 3 nights to 10 nights. Prices range from $500 to $3500. Please compare us to other offers.

In 2008, the euro is valued at 1.50 so trips to Italy, France, and Ireland are $3,200; and the pound is 2.05 so trips to Scotland and England are $3,500.

1. Divide total cost by number of nights. (We never include nights on planes.) We schedule our trips to include two weekends when possible to give you more days of vacation time

2. Count the number of meals included in the price. (We never include airplane meals.) We usually provide 2 meals a day, breakfast always and lunch or dinner or refreshments at group gatherings (except on free days), and adapt to special diets.

3. What is included? How many entrances? Transportation? All group excursions in bold in our itinerary are included. We provide all transportation on the trip, including transport to and from airports; train tickets; tube and bus passes in cities.

4. Culture. Do you interact with local people? Is the itinerary flexible? Each one of our tours includes two or more evenings with local people who share your interests. We offer choices on free days and find alternative events for partners or friends traveling with you.

5. Airfare. We keep separate. You can use air miles, the Internet, your favorite travel agent, or we negotiate special group rates with airlines that you book directly, thus passing the savings on to you.

Britain Before You ? and beyond knows what to expect. We sort out details like train schedules, transportation and local guides. We visit the hotels, sleep in the beds, sample the food before each trip to make sure you receive quality and value for your money.

We've been there before you.
