Your Man in Europe

                             

Join Your Man in Europe on a blast to the past in England. From the incredible charm and quiet serenity of Wiltshire to a historic, atmospheric hotel in London we’ll experience the England of yesteryear. We’ll travel through enchanting landscapes, and stay in carefully-selected boutique hotels that capture the spirit of each destination.  We will visit iconic places like Bath and Stonehenge, and feel as if we've gone through a time machine. 

 

                                                         Itinerary

                                                          6 Nights

 

September 10 Thursday– Arrive into London's Gatwick Airport by 12:00 noon. When the travelers are gathered we'll board our private van to travel to

the heart of Wiltshire, where we'll check into an utterly charming inn, dating to the 1400s! After settling in, a fantastic gourmet dinner will be served in the historic dining room of the inn.

 

September 11 Friday – After a sumptuous breakfast, we'll travel by van to spectacular Bath, with its classic Georgian architecture and amazingly well-preserved Roman bath (from which springs the town's name.) From there, we'll venture deeper into history with a visit to mysterious Stonehenge.

On returning to our quaint village, everyone will have time to have a nice dinner on your own at one of the charming restaurants.

                                           

September 12 Saturday – After another great breakfast at our inn, we’ll go for a walking tour of a nearby fifteenth-century abbey and its gorgeous grounds, including a medicinal herb garden. The cloisters of the old abbey were used for location filming in the first two Harry Potter movies. After our leisurely walk 

​we'll have an unforgettable lunch in an idyllic English tea room garden. For the rest of the afternoon we'll enjoy free time in the charming village. In the evening we'll take a drive to an amazing 17th century thatch-roofed inn that was described in Dickens's "Pickwick Papers". 

​​

September 13 Sunday – After one last fantastic English breakfast at our hotel, we’ll bid farewell to our enchanted inn to travel back to London. We'll head for the heart of the city to check in to our incredible boutique hotel in Soho. Dating to the 1700s, the remarkable, unique hotel feels more like a fine London home rather than a hotel. The whole feeling of the place makes it tempting to just relax there and not go out into the hustle and bustle of the city. 

After a quick lunch on your own, enjoy free time to explore the neighborhood. In the evening everyone is invited to take in a West End play. Several major theatres are within easy walking distance of our hotel. (It's recommended that play tickets be secured in advance.) Dinner is on your own.

 

September 14 Monday – Everyone is invited to indulge in a treat for breakfast. The hotel offers an optional breakfast served in the room, and it's quite the luxurious experience! As hard as it will be to extract ourselves from the hotel, today will be the perfect day for a "Choose your Own Adventure in London."

Visit any of the great museums: The British Museum, the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, Albert Hall , or any of the marvelous special-interest museums. Or spend the day shopping on nearby Oxford Street or Charing Cross. For play fans, take in a matinee performance.

There is a world of delights in London, so indulge yourself! All meals are on your own today.

​

September 15 Tuesday – Enjoy breakfast in bed again, or venture to an excellent breakfast restaurant near our hotel on your own. This morning we'll have a boat ride, and a fun walking tour along the Thames River. Along the way we'll have a fantastic gourmet lunch together at The Shard, Europe's tallest skyscraper. Savor a delicious lunch high above the old city, and take in the sweeping view often reaching more than 30 miles! ​​

After lunch, everyone will have a free afternoon to return to the hotel to relax, or venture out for more sight-seeing.

In the evening we'll go out for our "Farewell to England" dinner at one of the most fun and atmospheric restaurants anywhere! Besides a wonderful dinner, we'll enjoy the evening's roving entertainment: this night, Favorite Opera Arias! It will be a rollicking evening - the perfect way to wrap up a visit to one of the world's greatest cities, London. 

​

September 16 Wednesday - Enjoy another great breakfast on your own. We'll check out of our lovely and memorable hotel before heading for the airport for flights back to the US. Or extend your stay in England. Depending on departure times, optional shared transportation may be available.

We do our best to set the mood, to weave a spell, and to make yours a total experience. Hotels and most restaurants on the entire tour have been selected for their very specific location or high level of “atmosphere”.
