DISCOVER THE UK
Little is more rewarding than a guided tour with a great balance of sights and activities. That’s why our Discovery Tours offer the perfect blend of experiences and exploration across the UK and Europe.
Guided by a knowledgeable leader, you’ll visit the top attractions in each destination, enjoying full days of sightseeing aboard a comfortable coach. Travelling with a group of like-minded people, these breaks focus on immersing yourself in sights and culture rather than walking.
Discover More
Our Discover More collection is an exclusive way to explore the UK’s hidden gems. These small-group minibus tours go off the beaten track to reveal the country’s best-kept secrets - places not usually possible as part of a larger party.
Whether it’s sampling local goat’s cheese in the Lake District, a cider making class in Exmoor, or a heritage railway ride through the Derbyshire countryside, these tours offer a richer, more immersive holiday experience.
Discover More tours go beyond simple sightseeing - they’re about connecting with the essence of each destination, uncovering stories that often go untold, and sharing extraordinary experiences with a select group of like-minded people.
Relax at our country houses
You’ll be staying at one of our characterful UK country houses, all of which are cherished for their one-of-a-kind charm and sense of warmth. There’s cosy Victorian manors, elegant Georgian mansions, converted granaries and farmhouses, lakeside hideaways, and more – all with desirable addresses just a skip away from some of the best-loved national parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Full-board comes as standard.
Explore Europe like a local
In Europe, our Discovery Tours blend sightseeing with coach or rail travel to cover even more ground. You can look forward to comfortable en-suite accommodation in one of our hand-selected partner hotels. Most stays will be on a half-board basis* and include a continental breakfast and evening meal around shared dining tables to ensure that authentic sociable HF experience.
You’ll be traveling with a group of like-minded guests who are equally keen to explore exciting new locations, embrace new cultures, and experience new adventures together.
All tours are guided by an experienced HF Holidays Leader or local leader packed full of facts and knowledge to share. Discover More and Discovery Tours involve active sightseeing, so you should be well-prepared for a day on your feet.
*Please note, board basis can differ depending on your destination. Be sure to check the Trip Notes section of your chosen holiday on our website for details.
