Great Britain is a unique destination – comfortable in its similarities to the USA, yet intriguing with an incredibly rich culture, vast history, lush scenery and world-class art and architecture. Encompassing three countries in one, you can experience its diversity – from the English metropolis of London to mysterious lake district in Scotland to the remote hills of Wales. And its relatively compact size makes it easy to explore its diverse offerings. You can visit a museum in the morning, a castle in the afternoon, and then take in an award-winning performance at night.

Lakani World Tours can create a travel itinerary best suited for you – depending on your time, interests, and budget. A small sample of our recommended sites in each destination is below, but the touring possibilities are endless.

New for 2025 – Beginning with January 8, 2025 arrivals an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will be required for U.S. and Canadian citizens to travel to the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), for more information see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
