Settle into London with time to explore the capital at your own pace before enjoying afternoon tea at one of London’s top destinations for the British tradition. Add a special day on the train when you board the elegant Belmond British Pullman car for a vintage rail journey to the charming seaside town of Whitstable, complete with brunch, champagne, and dinner aboard beautifully restored Art Deco carriages.

Experience the playful side of London, beginning with early access to the iconic magic of the 250-year-old, seven-story Hamleys toy store before stepping behind the scenes at the Harry Potter Studios to wander the Great Hall and Diagon Alley. Add a West End musical and a guide dressed in full Harry Potter costume to take you on a private tour of London’s sites and bring the Harry Potter books to life across the city center, and your kids can’t ask for better days in London than this.

Travel first class by train from London to Edinburgh, watching the countryside shift from idyllic farmland to moody coastline as you head north. Once in Scotland, explore the cobbled lanes and hidden closes of the Old Town with a private guide, tracing the Royal Mile past historic landmarks before visiting Edinburgh Castle high above the city on Castle Rock.

Enjoy a relaxed final chapter in Edinburgh, with time for independent exploration before descending beneath the Old Town on a tour of The Real Mary King’s Close. Preserved 17th-century passageways and stories from the city’s past create a perfect capstone for a magical trip, followed by a final evening in the Scottish capital before departing for home.
