‘Tour of a Lifetime’ There are not enough superlatives to describe how superb our tour was with Kevin via Go Tours. I can declaratively say it was the very best trip of my life. I highly recommend this company without hesitation. Tracy, Cornwall Tour

‘Blooms, Brew and Brilliant Glenn’ Calling all flower lovers, tea lovers, history lovers & anyone who wants a day of beauty away from the bustle of London. The Cotswolds is your Xanadu, and GO-Tours your comfortable, air-conditioned chariot…I would rebook with GO-Tours for another adventure with Glenn even if it were just a tour of the local Sainsbury’s. Heather, Cotswolds Tour

‘A very pleasant tour of Wales’ We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Wales with Steve as our driver and guide. He was assiduous in his attending to the individual needs of our small group which made for a relaxed and friendly experience….We would unreservedly recommend this tour. David, Wales Tour

‘Excellent, Excellent, Excellent’ This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We’ve toured by motor coach before, but this was a whole new (fun) dimension…I have nothing but praise for this little tour company. They work their butts off to give you a first-rate experience.

Cotswolds Walking Tour

What a wonderful experience we have had on our “Cotswolds, Castles & Cottages” Tour. Our visit to Sudeley Castle was delightful, Hailes Abbey and it’s historical story was made most interesting by having the portable audio commentary provided by English Heritage, and Chedworth Roman Villa is fascinating to visit. To be in the English Cotswolds countryside is an opportunity which we have been so lucky to have had. It was a delight to walk amongst all these ancient thatched cottages. As our Tour Leader had already told us, the Cotswold Cottages are beautifully preserved and it has been awesome to be able to enjoy being amongst them with their magnificent English gardens full of the perfume of their beautiful Roses and their unbelievable colours, and together with all the awesome varieties of English flowers in these gardens, was admired by us all our cameras have recorded amazing memories.

Small Group Tours

Explore beyond the beaten path.

Our group tours seek lesser-known tracks. The hidden locations and the stories that get overlooked. Driving deeper to unlock more out of the places so many call home, is what ignites our fire to return time and time again. Go beyond with a group tour this year and collect stories to last a lifetime

Small Group Tours to Ignite Your Curiosity

From the rugged landscapes a tour of Scotland can provide, to the historical greatness of an England trip , the enchanting emerald isle of Ireland and the mesmerising ruins located in Wales , our group tours are designed to quench your thirst for authentic, engaging travel experiences. Let our driver-guides take you there. Come rain or shine, we embark on unforgettable journeys. Just be sure to pack your waterproofs. Unlike our small-group tours, the British weather can not always be reliably sunny.

Reasons You'll Love a UK & Ireland Small Group Tour

Explore in Style & Comfort

Driven around in a Mercedes 16-seat mini-coach , watch the horizons come into focus with every passing minute. Breathe in the unexpected and exhale any uncertainty, as you embrace the wonders of the British Isles, from sampling local cuisines to witnessing nature's greatest shows. But remember, the first rule of seeing a Highland coo … don’t ask to see a Highland coo.   

Safety in Numbers

There's a unique strength in numbers. Our small-group tours provide a safe, intimate setting that still allows for personalised experiences. The camaraderie, shared adventures, and combined curiosity of the group. All the qualities that enriches the journey, making your travel tour a tapestry of fascinating stories to take home and reveal in.

Add a Group Tour to Your Solo Travel Itinerary

Travelling alone doesn't mean you have to be on your own. Add a solo travel tour to your itinerary and start collecting legends from our driver-guides or lesser-known stories from the locals tucked away in a bustling pub. However the words grace your ears, know they’ve been on a journey themselves. Discover and listen for yourself by securing a place on a tour. 

Your Journey, Our Responsibility

We view our travels as a relationship between us, you, and the places we visit. Through our responsible travel initiatives , we strive to protect and conserve the beauty of our destinations, wherever we can. From volunteering and donating, to using small mini-coaches, all is in the hopes of protecting the places we love for future generations to enjoy.
