Itinerary
Day 1 LONDON-CAMBRIDGE-YORK
After a hearty English breakfast, meet your Tour Director and travelling companions and depart at 8 a.m. from your London joining hotel for a day of northbound travel packed with attractions: the beautiful university city of Cambridge, one of the country's oldest seats of learning; BELVOIR CASTLE, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, which houses one of England's finest private art collections. In York follow your Tour Director on a walking tour through a maze of quaint medieval streets, including the narrow Shambles. Stand in awe in front of the great structure of York Minster, then explore its treasures. Before dinner at your hotel in York join your Tour Director for a toast to happy touring with a congenial group. (D)
Day 2 YORK-EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND
First today inspect a section of Hadrian's Wall, the Roman coast-to-coast defense against marauding northern tribes. Vistas of wild Northumberland National Park on the way to the Scottish border, then Jedburgh Abbey ruins and glimpses of the house of Mary, Queen of Scots before a fascinating guided visit to Sir Walter Scott's ABBOTSFORD HOUSE. Arrive later this afternoon in Edinburgh, the elegant capital city. Tonight an optional Scottish evening with Highland dancers, bagpipers, and the Ceremony of the Haggis. For departure numbers 0804, 0811 and 0818 the optional Scottish evening is replaced with included tickets for tonight's performance of the world-renowned MILITARY TATTOO; a vast spectacle of massed Scottish pipe bands, which takes place in an arena on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.

Day 3 EDINBURGH-LAKE DISTRICT-CHESTER, ENGLAND
Morning city sightseeing with a Local Guide introduces you to the 200-year-old "New Town" and famous scientists, inventors and novelists. In the "Old Town" drive up the narrow Royal Mile to EDINBURGH CASTLE to admire Scotland's Crown Jewels. On the way through the history-steeped Lowland Hills, visit Gretna Green, where the blacksmith used to wed runaway couples. In the tranquil Lake District, often considered the finest of England's national parks, take a break in Wordsworth's beloved Grasmere. Spend the night at Chester, the historic walled city on the River Dee. (FB,D)
Day 4 CHESTER-STRATFORD-LONDON
On this morning's Chester walking tour see the Roman remains, the black and white half-timbered buildings, and the two-tiered arcades called the "Rows." In Stratford-upon-Avon take your photos of Anne Hathaway's Cottage, visit SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHPLACE, and stroll through the picturesque town. Skirting the Cotswold Hills, return to London around 4 p.m., where the vacation ends. (FB)

About Globus
The international Globus group began as a small family company, led by the father of current President, Sergio Mantegazza, in 1928. The company originally offered scenic motorcoach rides around Lake Lugano, in the southern part of Switzerland. Following the success of this operation, Mantegazza quickly expanded the business by purchasing a fleet of motorcoaches, and soon pioneered the concept of escorted 'first class' touring around Europe.
Globus continued to introduce successful touring packages to new markets in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada and in 1981 Globus launched its 'first class' packages of the United States and Canada. The combination of popular and innovative destinations, flawless service, and integrity, have earned Globus an enviable record in the travel industry. Customer loyalty is such that seven out of ten Globus customers have travelled with Globus before or have been recommended by past travellers - a notable achievement in a highly competitive industry. When it comes to escorted touring, 'no one opens more doors to the world' than Globus
