Britain · WINE TOURS
10 wine tastings you can book today, each with its price, its running time and the sort of traveller it suits. The first one is first for a reason.
Meet your English-speaking host at the VIP Desk, settle into the Eye Lounge, then board a shared capsule for a 30-minute London Eye flight. Sip chilled Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut while spotting Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace. Hosts such as Arnie, Mia, and Amanda add commentary and help with photos.
“Great experience. Camilla our guide was fabulous. Great champagne.”
Meet at the London Eye for a 30-minute flight in a shared glass capsule, with fast-track access, a chilled glass of Moët & Chandon, and a host who points out sights and takes photos. Hosts such as Diana, Mia, Will, and Holly-Grace have added warm, personal touches to this polished experience.
“Tried to contact the tour provider directly through the Viator booking with no response. Called the help line to let them know our train had been delayed for 44min from Paris to try and change the booking. The help line was great they tried to call and email the tour provider to change our booking until the next night if possible and we have received no response. Disappointed that there is no follow up on this request at all even to say we couldn’t switch. The train delay was out of our control.”
Board City Cruises at Tower Pier around 6:30 pm for a two-hour Thames ride through central London. You’ll pass Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Shard, Big Ben, the London Eye, HMS Belfast, and Canary Wharf while enjoying one sparkling wine or soft drink, light canapés, and live music. The route returns to the boarding area.
“Nice evening, friendly staff, beautiful views. Canapés were fair. Was on the top deck when first round of canapés were passed. No announcement. Not really disappointed once the second round came about. Wish it was more of a narrated tour.”
Spend about five and a half hours aboard a luxury Jeanneau yacht from Lymington Yacht Haven. Your skipper and crew handle the sailing, or teach you at the helm, while you cruise the Solent toward Isle of Wight views. Champagne, a hot two-course meal, tea, coffee, safety gear, blankets, and dietary options are included. Some sailings have been crewed by Gary and Paul.
“If you’re in Southampton before or after a cruise, this experience is a great alternative to touring castles, churches or old towns. Incredible value for a 5+ hour adventure activity which includes fabulous lunch or dinner.”
Enter The Shard beside London Bridge and ride up to the viewing levels for wide city views, a glass of champagne, and multimedia displays about London. You can look through the indoor viewing areas, step onto the open-air Level 72 platform when available, and spend as long as you like at the top. Wheelchair access and flexible cancellation are available, with major Level 72 closures during maintenance in 2026.
“Was good, but could have been better if people rotated rather than staying in one place at the windows. Views were great, as were the staff and the drinks.”
Join Manchester Wine Tours for a four-hour afternoon walk through Manchester city center, led by Kel. You will visit four different wine venues, taste varied wines with snacks, and pass statues and points of interest along the way. The small group is limited to 12 people, with the exact route sent at least 24 hours before departure.
“Fabulous day !

Travel from Brighton aboard an iconic vintage London Routemaster with host Danny and a small group. Visit Court Gardens and Albourne Estate for guided tours and tastings, then enjoy a Sussex picnic hamper of quiche, bread, salads, chutneys, cake, and wine. Venues may vary.
“A trip bought by our sons to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. It was most enjoyable but would like to offer some constructive criticism so that others may enjoy an even more pleasurable experience. The meeting and greeting was not good . We were waiting around for about 20 minutes before the bus turned up followed by the guide at 9:30. Many of us were unsure whether we were in the right place. I think the guide should be there well before the stated time. There was no itinerary given. We went to Albourne Estate which was excellent, but according to your itinerary on the website we were expecting to…”
Join a guide such as Tom, Henry, Carlos, or Jack for a 90-minute Christmas walk from Covent Garden to Trafalgar Square. Expect glowing streets, market stalls, holiday folklore, London history, and a complimentary cup of hot spiced mulled wine. The group is limited to 10 people, making it easier to hear your guide and ask questions.
“Henry was awesome we had a great time on his tour and thank you for treating us to cider. One feedback would be to add one more Christmas Market to the tour if possible.”
Spend 90 minutes at The Milestone Hotel, a historic 1689 property beside Kensington Gardens, enjoying tea, sandwiches, homemade preserves, pastries, and fresh scones. Choose a traditional tea or add Champagne for adults aged 18 and over. Seating may be in Cheneston’s Restaurant, the Park Lounge, or the Conservatory.
“Amazing! I highly recommend, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but so so worth it! The staff is super friendly & professional. You can get refills & take leftovers home. It’s a beautiful place aswell!”
Join Walsh Tours for a 90-minute private walk from Winchester’s Castle Avenue to the cathedral. Guide Bryan brings the city’s past to life with humor, while you see a medieval gate, King Arthur connections, Christmas lights, Victorian architecture, and the cathedral. Mulled wine adds a warm seasonal touch.
“Rushed - only 4 of us in the group - guide talked more about himself and connections with Ireland. Would have enjoyed more of an overview of Winchester. Mentioned leaving tips - unprofessional I’m afraid.”
Start with a city, a castle or a coastline.
