I am looking for a guided bus tour that covers much of the coastal s. England area to Wales. Cornwall, Devon , Dorset etc are my interest.
Perhaps posters from Britain may know of a company that coves this area. I have googled searched but have found very little. I have already enjoyed Bath, Stonehenge, Dover...
Thx in advance.

Yes, I agree with the person above. I can't find enough information on Southern England. I won't drive there. Where are some good tour areas to see Cornwall, Devon, "Poldark country", etc. ?

You need to look for South-West England - this area is not generally known as Southern England (that’s the bit directly south of London). Or try Devon and Cornwall for search terms.

We would call them coach holidays, not bus holidays, so you maybe googling the wrong thing!
There are many local companies that run coach holidays, usually of 4 nights/5 days duration. My mum uses one (Ellen Smith) based near Manchester that picks her up from home in a taxi, then they decant the passengers onto a coach and off they go. They stay in one hotel for the duration and have a number of day trips arranged to various places of interest, such as a National Trust house.
I haven’t come across one tour that covers say Dorset, Devon and Cornwall in one tour. That’s not how us Brits would tend to holiday, as most would prefer to spend more time seeing things in detail and less time in transit. There maybe some whistle stop tours geared up for overseas visitors that I haven’t come across.
Shearings.com is a national company that offers coach tours from many bases, including the south east.

I live in the US and have used British Bus companies to travel inside the UK and to travel to the rest of Europe. As the previous posted suggested https://www.shearings.com/ and https://www.leger.co.uk/ come to mind. There are also many other independent companies from various areas of the UK - but these two companies generally cover the entire country. There are usually no problems with U.S passport holders booking vacations with these companies. You will need proof of travel insurance.

I posted on your other thread with a similar title.
"*I’ve also done a Road Scholar tour of Cornwall which was based in Falmouth for 6 nights that was excellent. It just covered Cornwall, no SE England and I don’t recall we stopped in Dorset. We did stop in Exeter for lunch and toured the Cathedral. They also have one that starts in Canterbury and does some of the SE then back to London.
