Cheerio! is not just an excited reference to a heart-healthy breakfast. It is a common greeting to the British people, highlighting just one of the cultural differences between Americans and our closest relations across the sea. Though we have much in common with our British ancestors, you won't find any drive-through restaurants or super-sized meals as you tour through quaint countryside English villages. Even in London, with the latest and greatest in fashion, food and entertainment, historic charm still covers the city and inspires all who visit there. With well over 1,000 years of history, and layers of culture and intrigue, vacations in England provide an incomparable look into the past, and a wide variety of adventures. Our team of England vacation and travel specialists have first-hand experience with the best places to tour in England, whether you prefer luxury England cruises, inland exploration, or a combination of both.
