Rick Steves' Europe

Best of London in 7 Days Tour | Rick Steves 2025 Tours

In November 2024, our family (two middle-aged adults and two teenage girls) flew across the pond to tour London with Rick Steves' Best of London in 7 Days tour. We were amazed at how much we saw, learned, did, and ate in one week. Everyone had a great time, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
