Frequently Asked Questions

What type of people travel with England Made Easy?

A typical group of passengers will be a mix of friendly, professional English speaking travelers who come from all walks of life. Our group tours will suit the more adventurous traveler, so you're likely to have plenty in common with other members of the group before you even meet. We attract many solo travelers as it’s a fun way to travel as well as some couples and often small groups of friends. Travelers on our group tours are normally over 18 years, typically aged 28 years and upwards.


Are your tours suitable for families?

For families with children aged between 5 years - 16 years we offer family tours with more child friendly locations. Alternatively we can tailor-make a private tour just for your family. Please contact us for further details. Our standard group tours are suitable for families with teenagers aged 16 years and above, provided they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who accepts full responsibility for them. This is subject to the company's discretion.


When should I book my tour?

Our tours have a maximum capacity of 14 travelers and fill up fast so to avoid disappointment book early. Popular departure dates coincide with Christmas/New Year, Easter, Bank and school holidays which are popular dates for teachers to travel, so book early to guarantee your place. During the Christmas/New Year and Easter period we offer a number of special tours with a range of inclusions and arrangements different to our usual group tour departures. Flights are well sought after at these times of the year so we advise you source your flights as early as possible to keep airfare costs to a minimum. That way, you can snap up a good deal on your airfare and most importantly a guaranteed place on one of these popular departures!


How do I book?

To secure your tour we must receive the minimum deposit required. This can be done via our website, by calling one of our travel consultants. Once your deposit is received your place is guaranteed and the full payment is due 90-days prior to your departure date.


Is the cost of international flights included in the trip price?

No. Our prices are for the tour/expedition/adventure component only . We are happy to assist you in booking flights if you are departing from the USA — please contact us for further information.


I am a travelling alone so does that mean I have to pay a single supplement?

We have a number of single travelers who undertake our tours. Generally if you are travelling alone on one of our popular group tours and would like to share a room with a fellow traveler of the same sex, we can arrange this for you which will avoid you having to pay a single supplement (subject to availability). If you specifically request your own room, then you would be required to pay the relevant single supplement.


Will I be picked up from the airport?

All our group tours offer an arrival airport transfer to your hotel on day 1. A departure transfer from your hotel to the airport on the final day of the tour is also included in all our destinations.


Can you arrange pre and post tour accommodation and will airport transfers be included?

We are happy to arrange extra night's accommodation for you at the beginning and/or end of your tour.


I don’t want to travel in a group. Can I create my own itinerary or do a private tour?

Yes, we offer private journeys and tailor-made itineraries to the majority of our destinations. Our expert tailor-made department can help to plan your perfect itinerary, perhaps choose from one of our group tours which we can operate on a private basis, or if you have any ideas on what you would like to do just let us know and we can look after all your arrangements. On our tailor-made itineraries and exclusive journeys we can arrange a private guide for you, with sight-seeing and accommodation to your exact specification.


Do I need any visas for my tour?

It depends on what passport you are travelling and to which destination. We will assist where we can but it is the travelers responsibility to have all travel documentation in order prior to travel.
