I have been on many amazing tours in my life, but this has to be the best. Our guide ushered us behind locked doors and velvet ropes to see things that only a few lucky people have the opportunity to view. We went through several rooms and areas of the museum completely on our own – no lines, no crowds, no rush. And to have a guide that could really bring the place and the history to life made all the difference in the world. Even our nine year old was captivated for the entire tour. In other museums, we hit the dreaded whining stage after an hour. Not so on this tour – we literally had to pry our daughter out of the Sistine Chapel.  Truly a once in a lifetime experience, and my top recommendation for anyone visiting Rome.

Be sure to walk the Thames at night and see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament all lit up. The area around the London Eye has lost of good views and fun things to do.

The Tower of London is a MUST do. Be sure to go to the crown jewels first thing to avoid the crowds. The beefeater guides are great. We loved all loved it, including our seven year old!

It's hard to miss Edinburgh castle when in Edinburgh -- but it is worth taking a full half day for a nice leisurely tour around. Highlights are the prisons of war exhibition and "Honours of Scotland" -- Scotland's crown jewels (try to go to this early to avoid the lines and tour groups). The views of Edinburgh are great -- try to go on a sunny day for good photo ops. We also took a great shot of out 7 year old inside Mons Meg -- one of the worlds oldest cannons.
