TURNING TRAVEL DREAMS TO A REALITY: The London Eye

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!

The London Eye

Experience breathtaking views from the luxury of your own Private Capsule with up to 25 guests.

The height of the London Eye is 135m (equivalent to 64 red telephone boxes piled on top of each other) making it the fourth tallest structure in London after the BT Tower, Tower 42 and One Canada Square in Canary Wharf.

London has the London Eye - an extraordinary symbol for an extraordinary city. The world's largest observation wheel offers a spectacular way to take in over 55 of London's most famous landmarks in just 30 minutes! Combine your flight on the Eye with a 40 minute circular cruise on the Thames. Departing from the London Eye pier the commentary takes you from the Houses of Parliament to the Tower of London and back to the London Eye.

THE MELLENIUM CAPSULE

The passenger capsules of the London Eye incorporate an entirely new design form for observation wheels. Instead of being suspended under gravity, they turn within circular mounting rings fixed to the outside of the main rim, thereby allowing a spectacular at the top.
