Why we traveled here

My 14 year-old daughter and I were excited to take a mother-daughter trip to Europe. We chose London, Paris and Rome for the amazing site-seeing, culture, history and of course the food!

Loved

  • While in England, our most special experience was to attend the Stonehenge Summer Solstice sunrise event. A once in a lifetime experience for us! Our comfortable double decker tour bus departed London @ 1am and headed directly to Stonehenge, arriving roughly @ 3am. We joined a lively crowd already in full celebration mode. We observed pagen rituals and ceremonies that took place throughout the night and into the early morning hours. People watching at its best! But more than that, we felt part of the celebration and we were even able to walk amongst the stones and in the stone circle itself. The celebratory atmosphere grew more intense until the sun rose behind the Heel Stone in the north-east part of the horizon and its first rays shone into the heart of Stonehenge. Simply amazing! The journey ended with a quiet and comfortable ride home on the same tour bus that brought us. The bus left @ 6am and arrived back to London around 8am, just in time for a morning nap.
  • During our 12 day trip, we enjoyed either private or semi-private (a few other people) tours of Paris’ Left Bank, The Louvre and the Roman Colosseum. We were so happy to have these private tours as we were able to go at our own pace and had a more personalized experience. Completely worth it!
  • We also really enjoyed getting around both Paris and Rome via electric scooter. We downloaded the “Lime” app, attached our credit card and were able to rent them easily as the scooters could be found all over both cities. We saved time and energy, but best of all we were able to see the city up close. A highlight for sure!

We spent our first 4 days in London exploring the major sites and experiences such a the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. We also snagged passes (free) to sit in the gallery and observe the House of Commons and House of Lords in session. Very cool!

We took a day trip to Windsor Castle and especially enjoyed the quaintness of the town of Windsor itself. We recommend taking a train to and from Windsor instead of a tour bus for ultimate flexibility.

Our highlight was attending the Stonehenge Summer Solstice sunrise event as we watched the sun rise behind the Heel Stone and shine into the heart of Stonehenge! London hotel: K & K George Hotel www.kkhotels.com

Post Grad European Summer Girls Trip

I graduated college in 2022 and the way that COVID timed out, our graduating class never got to go abroad. My group of friends still wanted the chance to travel abroad so we planned a 3 week European girls trip following our graduation in May!
