As Fall settles in, Wayfairer Travel celebrations expansion into the UK & Ireland, inviting U.S. travellers to explore the depth and breadth of these small but mighty kingdoms in a whole new light.
Curating tailor-made experiences since 2012, Wayfairer Travel’s core purpose is to introduce discerning travellers to the undiscovered beauty of new destinations, placing the personalised interests of its clients at the core of every journey.
“As a British company, we’re thrilled to open our own backyard to the world and show off the incredible treasures of the UK and Ireland. Even after exploring the UK extensively, I still find new, exciting places to add to my bucket list. It’s like a Pandora’s box of experiences—one that promises to leave you craving more” – says Jason Stevens, CEO of Wayfairer Travel.
The colder seasons of Fall and Winter are an optimal time to make the most of Wayfairer’s unique travel model, bypassing peak tourist crowds as the landscapes turn auburn. City-slickers can enjoy the lively capitals of London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, and Dublin, or step back in time on the historic cobbled streets of York all in one grand-tour.
Outdoor enthusiasts can hike, cycle and swim across borders, from Hadrian’s Wall to the Brecon Beacons, whilst in December, travellers can soak up the festive spirit of historic Christmas markets in Bath and Winchester before heading into the countryside for a bucolic escape.
