Make the most of your trip! We share detailed guides to make planning a trip to your dream destination simple. We're Erica and Jordan!
After living in England for six years, we realized that our love for travel wasn’t going away. We also realized that we had a knack for helping our visitors plan their best trip.
Armed with good information and thorough planning, we could help our friends and family members have their dream trips and now we’re doing the same for you.
We love to travel, take notes on the best things we encounter, and then distill it in easy-to-read and use information. Whether using our itineraries to make trip planning easy or our reviews to find the best tour provider, we want to help you travel abroad confidently.
We took the same train and it was disappointing. The ticket was very expensive. We have to go through security with big lineup. We were advised to go to the train station 1.5 hours before departure. Then the train travels barely over 200km/hr, rather slow for high speed train. Then why not buy a flight ticket which is a lot cheaper and faster? You are not saving time and hassle compared to plane.
Tips: Don't buy the Paris Visite pass, buy the passe Navigo, much less expensive. Toilets, ask where the phone is in a cafe, if they have one. They're always located downstairs by the toilets and no purchase is necessary.
Thank you so much! Do you have any tips for last minute affordable hotel bookings in both UK and paris? Planning to spend only 2 days in both cities and hoping to maximize my time. Thanks in advance
Sign up to email alerts. Cheap tickets are issued about every 3 months which is why I got the best deal I could to travel in a couple of weeks. Surge pricing applies, so if you do it last minute your wallet will suffer. One way around it is to buy a inter-rail ticket-they are excellent value, particulary 1st class which doesn't cost much more than standard. This will get you standard premier on Eurostar. You do need to do more than one stop however.

hi! Good to see you guys again. You helped me a lot with my Hawaii trips 3 years ago. You made me feel like I'm running into my old friends! Going to the UK next year. Your videos are always helpful! Thank you!
I'm here now. Got here 3 weeks ago and it was freezing!! This Texas girl did not come prepared. Lol. Took Elizabeth line in, and I'm leaving tomorrow on the Picadilly!! I did a lot of busses while here. Bus stops everywhere and Google maps tells you which one you need to get to your location. Also, the tap tap cap was amazing!
Well done on your trip! It has been unseasonably cold! I'm glad you survived and it sounds like you are navigating London like a Londoner. Safe travels home!
Awesome video! Great tips and cool overall information to understand the city. I plan to sit near the quiosque with a Navagante card in my pocket and enjoy Lisbon. I noticed the sound improvement in this video, it's good that you upgraded the quality every time. Also nice editing I think 😊
Very helpful video. I saw in a couple of your clips the mom was carrying what looks like a sort of scooter or something. We have a 5 year old we will be traveling with who we know won't be able to walk the whole time, but a stroller seems overkill. Just wondering if you can recommend some options, other than Dad carrying him a lot :)
We were carrying a babyzen yoyo stroller. It is a great travel stroller but overkill for a five year old. I’d be nervous about a scooter as the streets and sidewalks can be hectic. Take the metro often?
We love your videos, especially the tips about Eurostar and Citymapper. We just returned from using Citymapper in London, Cambridge, Amsterdam and Brussels. It made getting around so easy. Thanks!
Thank you for this great information! This is going to be super helpful for my husband and I on our upcoming London trip. It will be our first time in the city :)
I'm glad it helped! Have a wonderful time and check out our free London travel guide to help with your planning: yourguidesabroad.com/london-travel-guide/
Sorry for being pedantic but that postbox is more likely to be George V or VI. George IV died 25 years before the first postboxes appeared in London. Anyway, I enjoyed the video a lot. Next time you visit some other hidden things to see include the Charterhouse (best seen with a guided tour), St. Bartholomew the Great church, Temple church and the legal district surrounding it, Lincoln’s Inn Fields with Sir John Soane’s Museum, and the memorial to heroic self-sacrifice in Postman’s Park. Many more of course but that’s off the top of my head.
Thank you so much for this video! Planning our first trip. Question hope you can answer: If you need your own card to tap on the underground, what about kids? Do we then need to buy an Oyster card for them?
Oh my goodness. Such a great helpful video. Will definitely be downloading your information. Thank you so much. Does the Seine river tour pick up and drop off at the same location? That’s the only thing I was confused on.
Good video. I think you should rank the places though and give an idea of proportions. Leadenhall for example is quite small and you could easily cover the market in 30mins. By contrast, Borough Market is huge and you could easily spend 2-3 hours there due to all the food stalls, people etc.
