Privatise an Itinerary

Magic, Made Yours

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.

How to go private?

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

By privatizing one of our Small Group itineraries, you get the feel of a bespoke adventure without the extra planning. 

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!
