Discover More & Discovery Tours

Discover the UK

Our Discover More tours are an exclusive way to explore the UK’s hidden gems. These small-group minibus tours (max. 16 people) go off the beaten track to reveal the country’s best-kept secrets - places not usually possible as part of a larger party.

Whether it’s sampling local goat’s cheese in the Lake District, a cider making class in Exmoor, or a heritage railway ride through the Derbyshire countryside, these tours offer a richer, more authentic holiday experience.

Discover More tours go beyond simple sightseeing - they’re about connecting with the essence of each destination. Meet people keeping age-old landscapes and traditions alive and share extraordinary experiences with a small group of fellow guests. Best of all, you’ll return each day to the comfort of our HF Country Houses.

Explore Europe like a local

In Europe, our Discovery Tours blend sightseeing with coach or rail travel to cover even more ground. You can look forward to comfortable en-suite accommodation in one of our hand-selected partner hotels. Most stays will be on a half-board basis* and include a continental breakfast and evening meal around shared dining tables to ensure that authentic sociable HF experience.

You’ll be traveling with a group of like-minded guests who are equally keen to explore exciting new locations, embrace new cultures, and experience new adventures together.

All tours are guided by an experienced HF Holidays Leader or local leader packed full of facts and knowledge to share. Discover More and Discovery Tours involve active sightseeing, so you should be well-prepared for a day on your feet.

*Please note, board basis can differ depending on your destination. Be sure to check the Trip Notes section of your chosen holiday on our website for details.
