We were amazed at the support we received from our specialist Kateryna. She took really good care of us and adapted our trip to meet our needs right up until we were ready to leave. She was very friendly and responded quickly to all our requests. We had a great time on our trip as well. The tours she planned for us were a blast. SoHo food tour, Jacobite train and the Caledonia Sleeper train were among the highlights. Only complaint was at least one of our rooms did not have working air conditioning at every hotel we stayed at except one. Unfortunately we planned our trip during one of the worst heat waves in British history. The hotel Lemonde in Edinburgh was an amazing place to stay. If I were to take this trip again I would definitely request more days at that hotel.

Hotel Reviews
The Garrison Hotel
Fort William

Rooms were too small for what we were looking for. Since we were on a longer trip my wife and I had some large suitcases and we didn't have room to open them in the room while we were inside. Wished we would have booked the larger suites instead.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Good location. Furthest from train station but it is a small town so not a far walk
Staff
Staff were wonderful and took good care of us
Cleanliness & Comfort
Hotel seemed clean but the bathroom was so small water kept leaking out of the shower into the bedroom carpet
Montcalm Brewery, London City

Hotel was nice but we had 3 rooms and 2 did not have functioning air conditioning. We were not asked if we would like to have a new room but were given fans that unfortunately only moved around the hot air. Would not have mattered but we were staying for 5 days and would have liked to have had the option of trying to move to a new room.

Authenticity & Character
Very unique hotel. Would have liked to try the brewery but the pub downstairs was a lot of fun
Location
Too far from Tube station
Staff
They were very friendly and helpful. Our reservations got messed up but they finally got it straightened out.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford

Pretty decent hotel. Lobby and some rooms were nice and cool but ours was incredibly hot. One of our rooms was ice cold and the other was extremely hot and we could not get another room. Really amazing breakfast though

Our A/C was not working and it got incredibly hot in our room. Luckily my mother-in-law's room was incredibly cool so she was lucky.

Taking this bus tour was a great option for us. By this time we were worn out with walking tours in London and this was a great opportunity to get out of the city and into some more remote areas.

Our guide was great and very informative. Canterbury was such a beautiful city and the Cliffs of Dover were something everyone needs to experience. While we were there Spitfires were flying over the cliffs which was another amazing experience.
