Travel to the UK

What makes the United Kingdom the perfect travel destination? Whether you’re looking to enjoy a classic English breakfast before exploring a traditional Tudor mansion or experience the Chieftain’s Parade before the famous Highland Games, a trip to the UK is a vibrant historical experience you don’t want to miss.

Dornoch Highland Games

Hosted in Scotland, The Dornoch Highland Games have a long, rich history, with the first event recorded in 1835. These colorful games involve tests of strength, bravery, and each clan's musical talents. Events include heavyweight competitions, tug of war and highland dancing to name a few.

The Beauty of St Ives

Its name was taken from an Irish princess (St Ia), who floated down the Irish Sea on a leaf in mythology to enter St Ives. On the south west coastline of England, this idyllic Cornish town is home to some of the modern world’s greatest artists and sculptures. Explore their creative flare on an excursion to the Tate Gallery of St Ives.

Wonderful Wimbledon

Wimbledon, the world's most prestigious tennis tournament, is a must-visit for sports lovers. Held annually in London, this iconic event has an all-white dress code and offers a chance to witness tennis greatness in an unforgettable setting.

Faqs about trips to the UK

Travelers from most countries need a valid passport to enter the UK. Depending on your nationality, you may also require a visa. EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals can travel with their national identity cards until the end of 2025.

You can bring in several personal items duty-free. However, there are limits on the amount of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume you can bring in.

The currency in the UK is the British Pound. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, especially Visa and MasterCard. American Express is less commonly accepted. Contactless payments are popular, and ATMs are readily available.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in the UK. In restaurants, it’s customary to tip 10-15% of the bill if service is not included. In taxis, rounding up to the nearest pound is common. Tipping for other services, such as in hotels, is your choice.

As we all know, UK weather can be unpredictable, with rain possible at any time of year. It’s wise to pack layers, a waterproof jacket, and an umbrella. In summer, lighter clothing is suitable, but always have a jacket for cooler evenings. In winter, warm clothing and sturdy shoes are essential, especially if you plan to visit rural areas.

Trips to the UK reviews

"I just returned from an exceptional trip to Scotland with Girl’s Guide to the World. The small group of women (6 plus our wonderful guide) bonded quickly and became fast friends as we explored the history and beauty of Scotland. Our guide was amazing, and the choices of hotels and restaurants were great. I will travel with Girls’ Guide again!"
