Wagner, 77, won an Emmy for her portrayal of the bionic former tennis player in a series that became a global phenomenon.
The Bionic Woman, a spin-off of The Six Million Dollar Man, followed Sommers after life-saving bionic implants gave her superhuman speed, strength and hearing.
In a social media post on Friday, October 2, Wagner said: "I’m really enjoying the UK coast while winding down from three shows here to celebrate 50 years of The Bionic Woman.
"A big thank you to Monopoly, the tour promoter, for making it all possible.
"And I am grateful to all the lovely people who were so welcoming throughout England and Northern Ireland."

Fans quickly recognised Saltburn and shared their excitement at seeing the TV star in town.
One wrote: "If I’m not mistaken that’s the view from the Vista Mar in Saltburn. You were my first hero in The Bionic Woman when I was about eight."
Another said: "When I used to watch The Bionic Woman, I never would’ve thought you’d visit Saltburn."
A third simply wrote: "Wow, the Bionic Woman in Saltburn."
Other fans recalled the show’s impact when it first aired.
One fan commented: "Today kids have the Avengers - we had the Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man."
Another shared a childhood memory, writing: "Used to sit beside our TV and record the audio of my favourite episodes of Bionic Woman. It’s likely I have an audio cassette tape somewhere!"

Another fan said: "14-year-old me would not believe you are here in our small seaside town. Did you jump up from the pier or walk it? Fabulous to have you here Lindsay."
The visit comes as fans across the UK continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Bionic Woman, the hit series that transformed Wagner into a pop culture icon.
