London Eye on a beautiful day

Over many years of traveling, I've been to nearly every corner of England and can help you plan the vacation you want including every destination, big and small. I'm a big fan of London, having been there over a dozen times, and yet I STILL haven't had a chance to ride the London Eye. However, I have explored more museums and historic sites than I can count, and had a chance to get a tasty pint in a pub and enjoy some chips (I like mine with mayonnaise). I've spent enough time in one neighborhood to notice when new businesses came in and old ones changed hands. Each little corner has it's own unique sense of charm, from Rye to Oxford and Canterbury to Bath. I am familiar with so many other beautiful and special areas of England, Scotland and Ireland. There's just something special about walking into a building filled with antique stained glass, dark hard woods that make the best thumping sounds when you walk on them and knowing it's older than the country you are from.

Some of my favorite places include the charming walled city of Chester, the birthplace of Shakespeare; Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick castle where you can still visit the prison. The seaside town of Brighton is good for lively fun, and the far west counties of Cornwall and Devon have rustic villages, more opportunities to explore by the sea, and some world-class gardens.

For Game of Thrones lovers, I got to drive through the dark hedges on my birthday, and I just adore Belfast and Giants Causeway. I just over the moon with how completely medieval Edinburgh is, and how stunning the highlands are - I particularly love Loch Lomond. It's so surprisingly beautiful! 

I am familiar with what trip to recommend for the perfect vacation package, and who to call for custom arrangements when it is needed. From gardens to castles to cities to historic sites, let me help you!
