London's Calling. Legendary author Virginia Woolf wrote that "to walk alone in London is the greatest rest." Your CosmosGO app will guide you to London's most famous landmarks: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Tower of London. Later in the afternoon meet your Tour Director who has everything you need to begin your England adventure.

Dreaming Spires and Dreamy Cottages. Meet your fellow travellers as we head into the countryside and on to Oxford, the "City of Dreaming Spires." Your Tour Director will lead a walking tour with highlights like the Sheldonian Theatre, Bodleian Library, and Radcliffe Camera. Next, on our way to Bristol, discover the Cotswolds and drive through some of its charming villages and the idyllic English landscapes. We stop in Tetbury, an architectural gem with many houses remaining as they were in the 16th century. Don't miss a chance to step into one of the honey-coloured pubs and enjoy a "Ploughman's" or traditional Fish & Chips!

Artists and Architects-Known and Unknown. We're onto Bristol, snug in the hills of South West England. This charming town has a distinct identity as a mecca for artists, scientists, and architects who come here to seek inspiration. Throughout the city, you'll find the street artworks of world- famous artist Banksy- make it a point to find his earliest pieces as you explore Bristol. Or maybe step back in time and join an optional excursion to Stonehenge and Bath.

Tea Time and Time for Shopping. Today we leave the banks of the River Avon and drive to Shrewsbury, a charming medieval market town in the glorious English countryside. Here you'll have time to explore its quaint streets and shops, with discovery literally around every corner. Enjoy a coffee or a bite to eat in one of the many little restaurants before we continue our adventure onto Liverpool, your destination for the next two nights.

Strawberry Fields Forever. Think of Liverpool and you immediately think of The Beatles. Their legacy is alive and well in this harbour town. Situated on the bank of the Mersey estuary, the city has one of the largest harbours in the world and remains a major port for transatlantic shipping. As former European City of Culture, it also boasts an impressive art scene, with more museums and galleries than any other British city outside of the capital. With your CosmosGO app in hand, you can discover Penny Lane and more.

The Bard of Avon and the London Stage. The last leg of your journey takes you to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon. You'll experience its 800-year-old history first-hand, and see that time has stood still. Then it is back to London. This evening we invite you to celebrate your journey with an optional Shownight excursion-after dinner at a stylish restaurant, sit back in your premium seat and enjoy a world-renowned West End show.
