Escorted tours of the UK

For a full list of our cultural tours in the UK with dates and prices, please scroll down.

Our tours in the UK are the result of several years of intense work by our dedicated in-house team of archaeologists and historians. Although Peter Sommer Travels is justly famed for our tours in the Mediterranean, each of the core members of our company studied and trained in the history and archaeology of the ancient world in the British Isles, and many of our first encounters with the ancient world were made here.

From our base in Monmouthshire we have travelled the length and breadth of these island nations, and are hugely excited at the prospect of introducing you to the wonderful archaeological and historical sites across these lands, the superb hotels, and the delicious food and drink on offer from award-winning local producers.

Bringing together all of the elements that have made our Exploring tours so popular, these tours will be the perfect introduction to these lands, whether you have been a regular visitor, or will be travelling here for the first time.

As with all of our tours, we are able to customise and adapt our itineraries to create bespoke trips to fit around your own schedule. We hope to see you all soon on one of these wonderful tours!
