Whether you’re interested in day tours or longer holidays, there are plenty of great choices, and you can choose from both guided and self-guided trips. Featured below are some of the best city breaks and day tours that give you a chance to really experience what the urban centres of England have to offer, all of which are easily reachable by public transport.
