What a fabulous day we had with Douglas. He showed us all the sights advertised and then some. We had a great lunch at the Plough Inn and still had time to visit the Roman Villa, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway Tower, Burford and the back roads of the Cotswold. Best time ever.

I had a wonderful day in London with a sightseeing walk in the morning, which was excellently guided by our generous tourguide Manrico. Due to Covid-19 there were very few people at the attractions (London Eye and Madame Tussaud‘s) we went to in the afternoon, what gave me the opportunity to return to Piccadilly Circus once more and hit some shops before travelling home again. Thanks a lot for this unforgetable experience!
