Picture the perfect Christmas scene: the air filled with the strains of your favorite carol and the silent dance of falling snow, the smells of hot cider and apple pie rising to your nose, the undeniable feeling of lightness and joy that heralds the coming of the season. If these are your Christmas memories, then this is your Christmas in England vacation.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Christmas in the Kingdom
Touch down in London and be prepared to enter a Christmas wonderland, where lights are strung throughout the mighty metropolis and all the citizens are preparing for the holiday festivities. After being taken from the airport to your luxurious accommodations in your centrally-located hotel, you’ll have the chance to relax and recharge before you set out to see the sights of Christmas in London. You’ll be amazed by the white sheet covering the top of the Tower Bridge, the turrets of the Palace of Westminster and its famous clock tower, the spectacular decorations that grace Oxford Street, and the impressive and ever-growing array of activities and attractions at the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Wander the many exhibits at the Magical Ice Kingdom from snow sculptures to ice slides, lace up your skates and take to the UK’s largest ice rink, get indoors for a soaring ride on the Giant Observation Wheel (a.k.a. the London Eye), or take your kids to Santa Land, replete with rides, treats and, of course, Father Christmas himself.

Zicasso's trip planner worked with my family for the better part of a year planning our big family trip. She provided exceptional service and planned every detail of our trip. We have a large family, with lots of moving parts. There were many changes in the itinerary along the way and she rolled with all the many changes. She was always polite, courteous, and graceful in her many interactions with our family.
She listened carefully during our initial conversations to help us plan the best trip possible. Being a large family, with multiple generations, she really created the best possible experience, taking in everyone's wishes. Working with her was very relieving, knowing she was taking care of all the details.
Our family's trip took us from the States to Ireland, Scotland, and England. We traveled on planes, trains, ferry, and drove a car. Our trip planner arranged every detail meticulously. We stayed in lovely, quaint, boutique hotels, ate the most wonderful foods, saw the amazing sights, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites across all three countries. From the Cliffs of Moher to the Culloden Moor Memorial to Stonehenge to castles grand and desolate; from beautiful cathedrals to old abbey ruins; from little country pubs to Michelin-starred restaurants; and even spending a couple days in an actual 17th-century castle, every minute was amazing! Truly amazing!

Zicasso's travel company helped create a wonderful UK trip for my family. Their fine attention to detail, along with a spectacularly planned itinerary, was greatly appreciated. From our drivers to amazing tour guides - the one in White Cliffs of Dover, the one in Ireland, and the one in Scotland - this trip was spot-on perfect!
The travel company's app was extremely helpful and user-friendly, and the lodging facilities chosen were perfect. In particular, the hotels located in the heart of each city made walking tours and exploring ideal. In addition, pre-planned excursions and activities added to an overall positive experience.
