What to Pack for Your Tour of the UK

When preparing for a tour of the UK, it’s essential to pack efficiently, especially since passengers are limited to one suitcase (max 15kg) and one carry-on item (such as a backpack). Due to minibus weight restrictions, any excess luggage may need to be stored at your pick-up hotel. To help you travel comfortably and be prepared for the unpredictable UK weather, here’s a seasonal packing guide for both Extended Tours (2-5 days) and Day Tours (1 day).

There will be times where you may be on your feet for a while, so comfortable footwear is recommended! Also, due to the unpredictable nature of British weather, we advise bringing waterproof clothing. For up to date weather reports, visit: www.bbc.co.uk/weather.

PLEASE REMEMBER to carry out what you carry in. Love our land - LEAVE NO TRACE.
