You'll tour Edinburgh Castle (and see the Scottish Crown Jewels) in Scotland; explore York Minster (one of the world's most magnificent cathedrals) in Wales; follow in the footsteps of William Shakespeare (with tours of his birthplace and childhood home before taking in one of his plays at a dinner theater) in Stratford-upon-Avon.
You'll stroll the hallowed grounds of Oxford University; spend an afternoon in London's Trafalgar Square (in London); marvel at the architecture of Westminster Abbey.
You'll hear Big Ben toll, taste Yorkshire wines paired with a homemade meal, smell the salty air at a Welch sea salt company.
There's plenty of time to explore at your own pace, as well.
And you'll be traveling with Steve Lange, the longtime editor of Rochester Magazine and the general manager of the Post Bulletin (he also writes the “Oddchester” column). That's me.
For 25 years, Steve has shared his unique and award-winning take on local stories, including his love for finding those little-known and interesting area travel destinations. And now he (and his wife, Lindy) will bring that same focus to England, Scotland, and Wales with some kitschy and quirky side-trip suggestions.
The 10-day trip includes 12 meals, all lodging, numerous tours, transportation from Rochester to Minneapolis (and back), and round trip tickets to/from MSP for $4,599 per person (double room); $5,599 per person (single room).
