TRAVEL DREAMS TURNED INTO REALITY

Most people, visit Europe to see the famous sights they've always heard about. But an equally important part of any travel experience is to savor the real flavor of the city or country. Stay where the Europeans stay, eat where the European eat, and share the European view of Europe.
Europe is known for its cozy little inns, its family-run pensions, and its bistros and trattorias tucked away on side streets. These establishments offer all the charm and atmosphere of Europe, and, not surprisingly, they cost a great deal less than big, fancy hotels and restaurants.
We call this, traveling "European Style".

More than one-third of all people traveling are single or traveling alone. So the best thing to do is to get an alternative for single room supplement and get reservations on a "guaranteed share" basis, where they charge the basic price and match up singles of the same gender in twin-bedded rooms. For mutual comfort, a no-smoking rule in shared rooms are being adopted.

For single travelers who prefer the privacy of their own room, single room accommodation can, of course be reserved.

The Tour Director : Because the person you are most likely to remember from your travel experience is your tour director, we go to great lengths to find the most professional guides. All native Europeans they deliver commentary in English but are able to speak at least one other language, so that they get around with ease in multilingual Europe.

They often have bright, witty personalities, and love to share anecdotes and chit-chat with "their family". They can fill you in on a quaint little bistro, just a block away from your hotel or suggest a shop where you'll find the best buys in Swiss watches. They handle the red tape with border guards and will clarify for you the nuances of Italian cuisine, so that you don't confuse spumoni with rigatoni!

These very knowledgeable, delightful professional can truly make your European vacation a breeze. They ensure that you don't only see the sights of Europe, but that you experience Europe through European eyes.

This is my way of sharing to you on how to discover the best ways to explore Europe. So, come on, join me!

City of London


Coat of arms of the City of London at Blackfriars station. The Latin motto reads Domine Dirige Nos, "Lord, guide us". The red sword is commonly supposed to commemorate the killing of Peasants' Revolt leader Wat Tyler by the Lord Mayor of London William Walworth in 1381, but in fact is the symbol of the martyrdom of Saint Paul, London's patron saint.
The City of London is a geographically small city within Greater London, England. It is the historic core of London around which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained almost constant since the Middle Ages, and hence it is now only a tiny part of the much larger London metropolis. It is often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is almost exactly one square mile (2.6 km²) in area.

In the medieval period the City was the full extent of London, and distinct from the nearby, but then separate, settlement of Westminster, which became the City of Westminster. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation containing both 'cities'. The City of London is still part of London's city centre, but apart from financial services, most of London's metropolitan functions are centered on the West End. The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking on a par with New York City as the leading centre of global finance. The City has a resident population of under 10,000, whilst the City employs 340,000 professional workers, mainly in the financial sector, who commute on a daily basis - making the area's transport system extremely busy during certain peak times. It is known as the richest square mile in the world.

The City is governed by the City of London Corporation which has some unusual responsibilities for a local authority, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships which lie beyond the City's boundaries.

The Latin motto of the City of London is "Domine dirige nos", which translates as "Lord guide us".








Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the World. At the Tower Bridge Exhibition you can enjoy breath-taking views from the high-level walkways and learn about the history of the Bridge and how it was built. You can then visit the Victorian engine rooms, home to the original steam engines that used to power the bridge.
