In the latest episode of the UK Travel Planning Podcast, guest Kristen Gonzalez takes us on an eight-day family adventure through England. Joined by her husband and parents in their late 70s, Kristen shares their experiences in London and the Cotswolds during the beautiful month of April. From their thoughtful planning process to excellent transportation arrangements with XFA Cars, and memorable tours with Go Cotswolds, this family trip was truly one for the books.

As any seasoned traveler knows, planning a trip can be a daunting task, especially when traveling with a group. However, Kristen and her family were able to make the most of their time in England thanks to their meticulous planning. They started by choosing the perfect time to visit – April, when the weather is mild and the crowds are not as overwhelming as in the peak summer months. This allowed them to fully enjoy their destinations without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Their first stop was the bustling city of London, and they wasted no time in immersing themselves in its vibrant culture. From iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben to the charming streets of Notting Hill and the trendy Shoreditch neighborhood, Kristen and her family explored it all. They also took advantage of the excellent transportation arrangements with XFA Cars, which made getting around the city a breeze. With their comfortable and reliable service, they were able to cover more ground and make the most of their time in London.

One of the highlights of their trip was the Go Cotswolds excursion. This tour company specializes in small group tours of the Cotswolds, an area known for its picturesque villages, rolling hills, and charming countryside. Kristen and her family were able to sit back, relax, and let the knowledgeable guide take them on a journey through this beautiful region. They visited quaint villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” and Bibury, famous for its picturesque Arlington Row cottages. They also had the opportunity to try local delicacies and learn about the history and culture of the area.

What made the Go Cotswolds excursion even more special was the exclusive discount code provided by the UK Travel Planning Podcast – UKTRAVPLAN. This not only saved Kristen and her family some money but also added a personal touch to their trip. It’s always a bonus when you can support a local business and feel like a VIP at the same time.

Kristen also raves about the excellent service provided by Go Cotswolds. From the moment they were picked up in their comfortable minibus, they were greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly smile. The guide was not only knowledgeable but also engaging and made the tour even more enjoyable. Kristen’s parents, who are in their late 70s, were also able to comfortably participate in the tour, which speaks volumes about the accessibility and inclusivity of Go Cotswolds.

After a day of exploring the Cotswolds, Kristen and her family returned to their cozy accommodation in the heart of the countryside. They were able to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This was the perfect way to end each day and recharge for the next day’s adventures.

As their trip came to an end, Kristen and her family reflected on their time in England and couldn’t help but feel grateful for the wonderful memories they had created. From the bustling city of London to the tranquil countryside of the Cotswolds, they had experienced the best of both worlds. And with the help of thoughtful planning, excellent transportation, and memorable tours, they were able to make the most of their eight-day family adventure.
