Landed at Heathrow and were taken straight to Windsor. Castle tour and wandering through town. First (and best) cheese toastie of the trip (and we had several). Then off to Henley. A cute little place and Tanya was a wonderful guide for the next few days. Hever castle, Highclare and then a night on the water at Leeds. There is a great market next to the train station for lunch, snacks, gifts…
Landed in London and had a short walk to our very centrally located hotel in Covent Gardens. Had a wonderful pub tour, went to Michelin star restaurants, and found it quite easy inconvenient to walk or take the tube to get everywhere.
Then back on a train and off to Scotland. A couple of nights in Edinburgh with a city and castle tour, walk of the royal mile and more good food. Off to the countryside with a stay at a lovely hotel with its own Michelin starred chef, right next door to a world renowned chocolate shop. Had a wonderful and educational tour of the Dewars/Aberfeldy whisky distillery and trips to Blair and Stirling castles.
A short flight over to Dublin where we had a wonderful city tour with Seamus and then a standout connoisseur’s tour of Guinness. A drive over to the Atlantic coast with a tour of Galway and a couple of nights on the water. Fortunately we had no rain the entire two weeks, unfortunately until the last day. Our trip to the Cliffs of Moher was disappointing due to no visibility, but I should point out that the visitor center was well worth stopping in.
Thanks to Kimkim for helping us have a wonderful trip!

Kateryna did an amazing job planning our trip! I could have never done it without her. We packed in so many things in two weeks in Europe ! With all the complicated schedules and hours of the many places we wanted to see and go she fit it all in like clockwork.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

IT WAS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME

Thank you so much for all you did to make our vacation/holiday memorable for years to come.

Day one was great to keep moving…our tour with Deliane was great, it did not match the description at all but what she covered we loved, my daughter especially since they have similar interest…she was a lovely lady and really knows her history, especially detailing Dickens. The Tea at Savoy was wonderful, we were somewhat Zombies by then, but it was amazing.

Day2
Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey were both amazing and worthy of the visits. St James Park was good. We saw a lot of it with Deliane on day 1

Day3
St Paul Cathedral was magnificent. A fair warning of the climb to the top might be good for those not in any type of physical shape, we were all winded and legs burning but we enjoyed immensely, Borough Market….OH YEAH! The chocolate Strawberries definitely worth the time. The Tower of London was beautiful and only started our beefeater tour when a young girl passed out from heat and dehydration. My wife is a nurse and provided aide. For my wife’s heroic actions and help, they invited us back that evening for a 700 year tradition. It was amazing and unbelievable that every night for 700 years, this ceremony is carried outs! We never actually finished our guided tour due to fainting distraction but that led us to something very special in the retiring of the keys ceremony.

Day4
British Museum…I want to be positive here, but we didn’t really see any British History and that was what we were looking for…it was extremely crowded and amazingly Hot inside…we couldn’t handle the heat and left early for the shopping between Oxford Street and Harrods. The day was saved and we enjoyed ourselves. Can’t give a good recommendation for the British Museum

Day5. The tour of Parliament and Westminster Palace was our favorite, it is unfortunate that we could not have the guided tour, but understand staffing. This was everything to my daughter as her University Major is Public Policy and Leadership which fits right into Parliament. We did not go to the Tate museum so I cannot rate it. We instead went to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square…it was great! We loved it and would recommend.

Day 6. Notting hill and all the markets were great….we asked to go ona Saturday and it didn’t disappoint with merchandise and crowd. Hot and tired after many hours in the markets, we did not venture to Little Venice.

Overall we truly enjoyed our itinerary ! Thank you. We love a structured environment as a family, so this worked well. Everyone has different tastes, but if you wanted to include possible recommendations for food at the conclusion of the day, I am sure it would be appreciated by your clients in the future. We found ourselves looking around and wasting a lot of time to find dinner at the end of the day, but managed to find many different types of cuisine.

Finally a shout out to Aleksandra for her communication during the building of the itinerary, she was awesome and during the actual holiday, she was always a message away and willing to go the extra mile got what we needed.

Thank you

Our seven day trip to London with our ten and eleven year old grandchildren was great!! We had two hiccups and Aleksandra responded right away. Everyday our schedule was laid out for us. We used the tube while in London and had private drivers to and from Heathrow and the Harry Potter Studios. Our tour guide David in London was great! He used to do security for the palace and was assigned to Prince Harry . He had a ton of good stories! Our Beefeater tour guide at the Tower of London was really good and engaged the children a lot. We were scheduled at the Natural History Museum but got done early and also went to the Science Museum. Our grandchildren like the Science Museum better. We saw the show Come Alive!! Highly recommend but get the VIP ticket. We were always busy, very little down time. Never waited in any long lines. We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Kingsington in a two bed two bath apartment. Right across the street was Cacciari's Italian Restaurant and they would deliver right to your room. Also we were just blocks away from Earl's Court Tube station and a Tesco.

Hotel Review

Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington

London

This place is a bargain for London. We had two bedrooms, two baths, a small kitchen and a living room with a dining table. They serve a daily breakfast buffet but it is not very English and sort of bland. The place is clean, the staff is attentive and very accommodating. Lots of families stay there. It is a few blocks from the Earl's Court Tube station, a Tesco and Cacciari's Italian restaurant is right across the street. Eat in or they deliver to your room.

Authenticity & Character

It is starting to look a little tired. It has been updated but I don't know how they keep up.

Dining room, front desk and luggage attendant were all great. Remembered the kids names.
