Great sights and a perfekt guide
Great Tour with the phenomenal Carl as guide. He is extremely good at ensuring that the whole group feels united right from the start. Some truely great sights as per the itinery, and some additional ones courtesy of Carl. We strongly recommend Rabbies , this was our fourth trip with them, and we will be back

Great Trip
I tend to avoid these type of tours because I do not enjoy riding for 2-3 hour stretches in a van without a bathroom. However, this tour was well planned and Neal, the tour guy/van driver was the best guide I’ve ever encountered. He struck the perfect note between being informative and helpful. Also very funny in a low key way. The sights were also spectacular.

Tour provided a snapshot into plans for a future longer visit to the UK
We hadn't visited the UK before and this tour while only being 5 days long was a good mix of seeing the beautiful countryside plus some interesting historic sites

Great 5 Day Small Group Tour
A great way to see a lot in a short time. Love small group tours. Easier to get to know the other travelers. More personal.
via Viator
A great way to see smaller places and the city of York.
We really enjoyed Jack, our guide/driver. He would tell us about the villages we stopped in and what we could see. He gave us recommendations for traditional food to eat at the different stops along with some exotic choices. His knowledge of the entire country and love for his job was evident. It was a great way to see a lot of different locations we wouldn’t have found on our own. We had a fantastic time. We highly recommend this trip.

Why this scores 65

5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London cost?
+
Prices start at $980 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Heart of England, Wales & Yorkshire Small-Group Tour from London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
