Who are we?

Great British Trips is a new company that has been founded by two British people with a genuine love for travel and an even greater love for Britain. As the founding members travelled the globe, visited 6 continents and spoke to all the people they possibly could, one thing became abundantly clear; planning a great British trip is hard!

The people they spoke to, some of whom had visited the UK and some who had not, all told us that unless you wanted to get stuck on a coach tour (which let’s face it, lots of us don’t!) then doing the research, figuring out where to go, how to get there, which companies to use, where to stay, who has the best deals on, checking out the endless reviews and reliability of every single element and then actaully making the bookings was an exhausting, costly and time consuming process! They told us they wanted to see Britain, real Britain; discover the hidden gems, get lost in the stunning scenery, drink tea in quaint tea houses, eat lunch and drink local ale in a cosy country pub, look out from a castle turret, drop a postcard into an old red post box, stand in the shadow of a breathtaking cathedral and take a refreshing drink from an ancient well.

At the same time, our directors were going from country to country and having to do all the planning themselves. They realised that finding out where to go, how to get there and which companies to use for the best deals is simply exhausting! They began to think if only there were a single website with all the information about every place worth visiting. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if they could just click on a place, add in a couple of activities and someone else did all the research and hard work for them! The ‘Great British Trips’ concept was born.

Since then, the GBT team have been working around the clock to find every brilliant thing in Britain that you might possibly like to see and do. We’ve been squeezing suppliers for the best deals, scrutinising hotels, compiling timetables, planning routes, searching out hidden gems and doing every last thing we can possibly think of to make your vacation as fun, relaxing, smooth and as downright fantastic as it can possibly be. So all that's left to do now is get clicking!
