 Public Transportation & Mother Hen Tours in Britain
Mother Hen is the perfect blend of traveling on your own and being looked after! (Minimum 6-8 participants and minimum 3 months lead time.)
|
If you prefer to travel independently but would like a little structure and support, we are offering several tours using trains, buses and local day tours to various parts of Britain. There will be no full time guiding, no porterage and no motor coach travel, but on the Mother Hen options, you will be accompanied to each hub location & oriented completely on how to get around and your sightseeing options.
