The British Isles 2011

England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. You in?

Note: This year's tour will be private (as in no other groups joining us) as long as we have enough people (15). That also offers us some opportunity for moderate customization or "wiggle room" when it comes to certain scheduled activities or meals. These changes will make for, I think, a much improved travel experience.

Estimated price: $3,100 (around 20 participants)
The price is subject to change depending on the number of participants. The full range of the price is from $2800-$3400.
