All three guides were excellent — David in London, Alfred in York and Jamie in Edinburgh.

Hotel Reviews
Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London
London

Excellent city location, great breakfast and service.

Hilton York
York

Great location, very good lunch breakfast and dinner, with fine service.

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
Edinburgh

For what it is, a family hotel with minimum service, it worked very well for us. Room configurations, breakfast and location were just what we wanted.

London

Could have used another 30 mins in the Tower. We did not see the Changing of the Guard as had been advertised since this currently occurs only Mon, Wed, Fri.

The London Dungeon

Really for kids only, and they enjoyed it greatly.

Our Cotswolds trip was tailored specifically to our family needs since we have relatives the area.

For any vehicle to get the 80 yards from the side street on which our hotel was located to the adjacent main road took 15 minutes every morning due to the slow light. This made our train connection very tight, and the kids were unable to visit Harry Potter’s Platform 9 3/4.

Private Walking Tour of York

A really excellent tour in a fascinating city with our great guide Alfred.

Edinburgh Castle Tickets
Edinburgh Castle Tickets
Edinburgh

We would have liked a personal tour for our 10 people of the Edinburgh Castle rather than the audio tour. Separately we felt that a personal tour of the Old Town, Prince Gardens, Princes Street, and maybe the New Town, would have added to our enjoyment.

Private visit of Mary King's Close

Edinburgh

We felt that this time could have been better utilized in a personal tour of Edinburgh.

An excellent view of the Lowlands, Sterling Castle and Loch Lomond with a high energy and very agreeable guide, Jamie McGregor.
