Travel Advisor I work for a travel agency so I will not recommend any companies since that would be biased. The best thing to do would be to look at all the online reviews and read the terms and conditions for each company. Make sure before you book you know everything they promise and have it in writing.

P.S- This trip may be expensive because London/I...See More

(They have to be purchased in advance in the US, or they are more expensive.)

Actually, you can travel well independently if you contact the respective visitors' bureaus and ask for assistance in planning your trip. They have bureaus in the US. So you can contact the British Tourist Authority, Irish one, and those representing the towns you want to visit.

Public transportation is the way to go if you really want to meet the locals - and both British and Irish are very hospitable (I have been invited to their homes for supper etc.)

There are a lot of one day and half day tours one can take using your hotel as a hub in London etc.

The airlines also have family packages that can include tours.

Plan ahead from your armchair - and you'll have a much better time than on an organized tour.

Under the Tuscan Sun

by Maggie

Aug 14, 2009

Those who have travelled to Italy, what are your favorite cities you have visited in Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio? I've already been to Orvieto but would love to hear about other places that some of you think should not be missed. I'll be there for three weeks and will have time to explore.
