★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $1,310

Small-group 5-day tour from Edinburgh to York, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Hadrian’s Wall, with included entry and breakfasts.

“We had our trip canceled 18 hours prior to start leaving us without accommodations for four days as an option or join this above tour to give us a place to sleep. I don’t believe our Iona Mull trip was canceled for lack of accommodations on one of the nights. I think it was a low show as this 5Day Dales but us forced in made it financially acceptable to Rabbies. DECUSSATING, Our original trip was planned with purpose. To.capture that trip will cost us thousands of dollars. What a tragedy. Rabbies is off our list of usable contractors.”
