“R.S. Best of England in 14 days”

Hello all,
Looking for trip reports for the “14 days Best of England” tour. I’m looking specifically for those post Covid. I can’t find any?
Thanks! Just signed up for 2026 and looking forward to it so much!
Trying to decide some before and after stays. Thinking we may take the train to Edinburgh afterwards. Really trying to decide how much time in London or Bath before the tour. I want to see Stonehenge and it appears to be better prices for trips from Bath. Any advice appreciated, thank you all very much! Advice on things not covered in the tour, restaurants along the way, any other advice you may have to make it extra special. Thank you!

We stayed in Salisbury 3 days before the tour, I had made arrangements for a Stonehenge tour that went into the inner circle. A bit more expensive but it was worth the cost in my opinion. There are several tour companies that go out of Salisbury to do this. That and climbing up into the interior of the Salisbury Cathedral made Salisbury a good stop before the RS tour.

We did the Best of London Tour and then the Best of England a few days later. We went to Salisbury Saturday morning when the London Tour ended and then to Bath for the Best of England early Sunday afternoon, Salisbury was a nice stop. Having done the Best of London before the Best of England we found out just how much of London we would have missed if we had only done the Best of England tour. If you have the time and do not plan to be back in the area to see more of London, I would suggest spending 2-3 days in London before the Best of England tour. Looking at the Best of England itinerary you can avoid what you will see in London on that tour.
