Welcome To Our Rick Steves' Best of London in 7 Days Tour Scrapbook!
WHO ARE WE? We're Lesley and Lori, from St. Louis, Missouri! We've been on one other Rick Steves' tour (Heart of Italy, 2012) and when we had the chance to take another, we jumped at it! We're naturally quiet, non-adventurous people, so these tours give us the chance to break out of our comfort zone to see and do things that we might never do on our own.
Lesley has discovered within the past few years that she has a wheat allergy, so we put London to the gluten-free test. |
WHY LONDON? Lori's mother (Donna), sister (Erin) and niece (Rebecca) are multi-tour alums and had visited London a number of times, including the Best of London in 7 Days tour a few years ago, and there was always something more they wanted to do there. This year, their plan was to fly into London for several days before heading to Ireland for the Best of Ireland in 14 Days tour. After hearing of their plans, we invited ourselves along to share London with them, and then stick around for the London city tour. The beauty of this plan was that we had a built-in tour guide for our first days in London, as Erin was not only comfortable getting around the city, but had also started making plans for what they wanted to do while there. We didn't need to worry about replicating what was on the tour, as they had already done those must-see attractions. Our common pastime for several months became trip planning.
