About British Isles Explorer: England, Scotland, and Ireland Program

Join Travel For Teens on an unforgettable 10-day journey through England, Scotland, and Ireland—three nations brimming with history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. This program is designed for high school students who want to experience authentic travel beyond the typical tourist circuit. You'll spend your days exploring iconic landmarks, immersing yourself in local culture, and making memories that will last a lifetime.

Your adventure begins in London, where you'll marvel at the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, cross the iconic Tower Bridge, and ride the London Eye for panoramic views of the city. You'll experience British traditions like the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, hunt for treasures at Camden Market, and choose from literary and cultural experiences—visiting Platform 9¾ for Harry Potter fans, Abbey Road for Beatles enthusiasts, or 221B Baker Street for Sherlock Holmes devotees. A night at London's West End Theatre or Shakespeare's Globe Theatre rounds out your London experience with authentic British entertainment.

A scenic train ride transports you to Edinburgh, Scotland's captivating capital. You'll explore Edinburgh Castle, climb Arthur's Seat for the best views over the city, stroll down the historic Royal Mile, and visit Holyroodhouse Palace. The program includes a spooky nighttime ghost tour that unveils Edinburgh's darker history, and you'll have free time to explore the Scottish National Museum or take a Harry Potter-themed city tour. A final upscale dinner celebrating Scottish cuisine caps off your Scottish experience.

Your journey concludes in Galway, Ireland, where you'll discover the heart of traditional Irish life. You'll take a ferry to the ancient Aran Islands for a guided bike tour of Inis Mor, visiting 5,000-year-old ring forts and pagan burial mounds. Watch live traditional Irish music at a local pub, and experience the dramatic natural beauty of the Cliffs of Moher—towering 700 feet above the Atlantic. The trip ends with an unforgettable Medieval Banquet at a real Irish castle, complete with minstrels, traditional costumes, and ancient recipes.

What sets Travel For Teens apart is their commitment to authentic, local experiences. You'll stay in centrally located, locally owned accommodations and dine at charming authentic restaurants rather than chain establishments. Your dedicated Trip Director travels with you throughout the entire 10 days, supported by expert local guides who bring each destination to life. You'll receive 24/7 support, frequent email updates, and hundreds of photos so families can follow your adventure in real time. Whether you're interested in history, literature, art, geography, or simply exploring different cultures, this program offers the perfect balance of structured activities and free time to discover what matters most to you. Teachers travel free, and the program starts at just $4,295, including accommodation, airfare, transportation, meals, and all listed activities.
