Perfect itinerary for family with teens!

Jun 22 - Jun 27, 2025
Our family of 5 (3 x 13yo's) had an amazing experience thanks to Kate's plans! We loved the personalized itinerary, including the private transfers to/from airports, and day trip to Stonehenge and Windsor. Our guide and driver Christopher was extraordinary: informative and thorough. We even saw the King at Windsor (not part of the itinerary!). The kids loved seeing Mathilde. Having a relaxed schedule that fit our needs yet allowed us to hit the high points of London took the stress out of planning and answered the "what are we doing and when" questions. Highly recommend!
Activity Reviews
Our family enjoyed the tour with the Yeoman Warders and visiting the crown jewels. Not sure if were were supposed to have a personalized tour, but it worked out fine in the end.
Driver gave us a thoroughly personalized tour. He knew my teen daughter loved music so places that influence Taylor Swift, Oasis, Beatles and more were highlighted much to her amazement. We got photos of our family crossing Abbey Road. The stop at St. Bart's hospital and church were meaningful as we not only visited the spot of William Wallace's execution (and current shrine in his honor), the incense-laden chapel happened to have a small trio of musicians practicing with hymns echoing about this ancient shrine. Our tour concluded at the Black Dog Pub for a Sunday roast and the echoes of Taylor in my daughters head. A++
Christopher arrived early to pick us up and after navigating thick London traffic had us promptly on our way to Stonehenge. We stopped at Woodhenge first to get an understanding of the archeological age of the henge as well as begin thinking about skills and knowledge neolithic Brits had to possess to begin building these structures. Christopher's knowledge of Stonehenge and the surrounding areas, as well as his ability to avoid some of the heavy traffic around the site made the visit easy and informative. After a quick bite, we headed on our way to Windsor. I truly wish we had more time here. The royals were in residence and we did catch a glimpse of the king while touring the castle. The town of Windor and Eton are easily worthy of a full day to explore and shop. Photos inside the castle grounds are not allowed.
Delienne's experience having worked in the royal household was amazing. She knew where to stand and position us before the bulk of the crowds did which gave us a perfect viewing opportunity for the whole experience. Her insider stories were fascinating.
