Touring Southern England with London

Welcome to your tour with Europamundo! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and you’ll have some free time. In the afternoon, you’ll find information about the start of your tour on the boards located at the hotel reception.

We’ll begin the morning with a panoramic tour of London, visiting iconic landmarks such as Westminster, the Parliament, the City, and the Thames. The afternoon will be at your leisure.Note: If the total number of travelers in London is fewer than 10, instead of the panoramic tour, our guide will provide you with tickets for a hop-on hop-off bus tour, with audio explanations through headphones that you can use throughout the day.

After breakfast, we’ll head north, traveling to Cambridge, a historic university town renowned for its university founded in 1209. You’ll have time to stroll among its impressive neoclassical Gothic buildings, canals, and residential colleges. We’ll then continue through the interior of England, where pleasant landscapes will lead us to Coventry, a city known for its rich history and significant role in the car industry. Its cathedral, destroyed during World War II, has become a symbol of peace and reconciliation. Next, we’ll head to Liverpool, where we’ll enjoy a brief bus tour of this World Heritage Site, the second-largest port in the United Kingdom, famously associated with the Beatles.

We’ll then stop for lunch in the small, picturesque town of Lichfield, known for its charming center with cobbled streets and historic buildings, highlighted by its medieval cathedral with three spires.

Our journey will continue to Birmingham, the second-largest city in the UK, which played a key role during the Industrial Revolution. Today, it’s a vibrant hub of economic and cultural activity. We recommend taking a stroll around the town hall area and along the canals, which form a network more extensive than Venice´s, now lined with dozens of restaurants and entertainment venues.

After spending some time in Bath, where you can visit the Roman baths if you wish, we’ll continue our journey through southern England. We’ll include admission to Stonehenge, one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world, formed by a circle of stones whose exact purpose remains a mystery. Next, in Salisbury, you’ll have time for lunch in its charming medieval center before visiting its impressive cathedral (admission included), home to the tallest spire in England.
