Top 5 Tips and recommendations for this trip:

  • Don't overpack
  • Bring layers, especially for Scotland
  • Be flexible - we had a rail strike and had to change plans on the go
  • If you are going to be in London for a few days, buy an Oyster card before you go so you can ride the underground

What makes this destination a must-see in your opinion? The history of England and Scotland is amazing.  Travelers will love the Castles and old buildings in England and Scotland as well as the natural beauty of Scotland's great outdoors.

Did you travel via cruise ship? If so, please describe the experience and some of the standout features that you ere excited about. This was a rail vacation.  We traveled with a Eurail pass and it was excellent and easy to use as we could change trains right at the station.  You don't need internet to make it work.  We traveled first class so it wasn't too crowded and it was a lot of fun to see the scenery we passed through.
