• MD Margaret · 8th April 2016 I went with my 14 year old granddaughter. She loved London. Was quick to catch on to the workings of the Tube. Really enjoyed live theatre, the London Eye and the shopping. Paris was a postcard anyway we looked. Really enjoyed the sidewalk cafes... Show more Trip date: August 2015
• CB Cindy · 23rd November 2015 The Trafalgar people were wonderful. We were met at the London airport and taken care of every step of the way. We had enough free time and tour time. Our guides were great. I would take a Trafalgar tour every year if I could! Trip date: July 2013
