Private Tailor-Made Travel in the UK | Frequently Asked Questions

From your first travel ideas to agreeing on an itinerary and costs, here are answers to common questions about planning a UK trip. If your question isn’t covered here, please get in touch with BritGo Tours using the contact details on this website.

  1. Can the itineraries on this website be adjusted?

Our suggested itineraries are a starting point for discussion. Destinations, trip length, sightseeing priorities and the pace of each day can all be discussed and adapted to your interests. The final itinerary will depend on transport options, attraction opening times and booking availability.

  1. Can I enquire if I don’t have a complete plan yet?

Yes. Start by telling us your approximate travel month, trip length, number of travellers, budget range and the experiences you’re most looking forward to. If some details are still undecided, let us know which arrangements can be flexible.

  1. How far in advance should I get in touch?

We recommend getting in touch as soon as you have an approximate travel date, particularly for trips during holiday periods, larger groups, or requests for specific accommodation and experiences. Arrangements need to be checked individually. For last-minute enquiries, we will also need to check availability before confirming what is possible.

  1. How is a tailor-made trip priced?

Your quotation will depend on your travel dates, group size, route, trip length and the services requested. Accommodation standards, transport options, admission tickets and chosen experiences will also affect the cost. Please refer to the final agreed itinerary and quotation. Suggested itineraries should not be treated as fixed-price packages.

  1. Does the quotation include transport, accommodation and admission tickets?

Inclusions may vary between proposals. Before confirming, please check each item, including transport, accommodation, admission tickets, guided visits, meals and other experiences. It should also be clear which items you need to arrange yourself or pay for separately.

  1. Are the trips suitable for children or older travellers?

During planning, we can discuss reducing extended periods of walking, allowing more time for breaks or limiting changes of accommodation. Please tell us the ages of any children, your travelling companions’ mobility and fitness levels, and any accessibility requirements or other arrangements to consider. This will help us assess whether the route and relevant services are suitable.

  1. Can you arrange transfers or trips starting in different cities?

Please tell us your preferred pick-up and drop-off locations, as well as your starting and finishing cities, when you enquire. If your plans involve flight or train connections, please include the relevant times. Whether these arrangements are possible, how they would work and any associated costs will need to be confirmed for your specific itinerary.

  1. Can we visit colleges at Oxford or Cambridge?

Please let us know which colleges or buildings interest you during the planning stage. Visits inside require checks on opening times, booking requirements and areas open to visitors. Access may be affected by teaching, examinations or events. Sightseeing in a university city does not include admissions advice or an official university-hosted visit, nor does it guarantee access to every college.

  1. What happens if it rains or the weather changes?

Itineraries should allow some flexibility for changing weather. Outdoor visits, boat trips and walks in the Highlands will need to be assessed against conditions on the day and the relevant operators’ arrangements. Any adjustments should be discussed promptly, with safety and practicality taking priority. We cannot guarantee that every planned experience will go ahead as originally scheduled.

  1. Does the Scotland “Adventure Tour” include specialist outdoor activities?

In our suggested itineraries, “adventure” refers primarily to enjoying natural scenery and gentle exploration. It does not automatically include specialist mountaineering, rock climbing or water sports. If you would like to add a particular activity, the provider, participation requirements and equipment requirements will need to be checked separately.

  1. Is my trip confirmed once I send an enquiry?

Not yet. Enquiries and itinerary discussions are part of the planning process. They do not mean that accommodation, admission tickets, transport or other services have been successfully booked. Before proceeding with bookings, please check the final itinerary, included services, costs and related arrangements, and obtain the relevant confirmations.
