Magic made yours

Privatise an itinerary

Private Group Holidays

Share a journey with multiple generations of your family. Celebrate a special anniversary or milestone birthday. Get the girls or boys together. Or travel to England with your nearest and dearest just because! Explore the UK with the people who matter most. Friends and family, you always wish you had more time with.

Our itinerary, your group

We get it – time is always tight, and lining up everyone’s diaries is tricky enough.

By making one of our existing itineraries Private, you keep everything that makes the trip work while choosing your dates and who comes along.

Here you’ll find Active England’s Private Walking and Cycling Tours. They mirror our regular small group and self-guided departures, but going private means you’re in control of the dates you travel and who comes along. Each and every one of our scheduled trips can be made private.

Gather your partner, your friends or your family, choose your adventure, and we’ll take care of the rest.  All you need to do is start to get excited!
