UK and Ireland Inbound DMC and Tour Operator

The Grand Expeditions

The great occasions of Britain and Ireland, built into one journey.

A Grand Expedition is not planned around places. It is planned around one moment.

Ten journeys across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. Contracted and operated by Interopa since 1974, and sold through the travel trade.

Speed

Closed roads, from the Isle of Man to the Antrim coast.

The turf

Ascot, the Curragh, Galway in race week.

Land and sea

Highland glens, Hebridean anchorages, the Atlantic edge.

Ten expeditions. One great occasion each.

Every route is a starting point. Nights, hotels and group size are yours to set.

The season, month by month.

Choose a month. See what the world travels for.

Two to plan now.

The rooms near these venues go first. Send dates, we hold hotels.

How we run an expedition.

What sits behind every route on this page.

1974

Five decades of contracts and local knowledge, run from London.

We contract and operate

We are the operator, not an intermediary. The person you brief is the person who delivers.

One planner, in your language

From first enquiry to final transfer, one person owns your journey.

Blue Badge guides

Qualified guides in the language of your guests.

Beds held early

Hotels sell out before tickets do. We hold rooms up to two years out.

Event days, handled

Road closures, permits and viewing points, planned before anyone arrives.

Tell us the occasion.

We will build the expedition around it.
