⭐️ New – Itinerary Review (recorded video review)
This is an exciting new option for those who would like expert feedback on their itinerary and have questions about their trip. It is the perfect option for those who would like a little guidance but not a full consult.
Once you book a video review and send your itinerary and questions, we will review them and answer via video recording.

Note that you MUST have an itinerary for this process to work!

FAQs about the London Itinerary Consultation & Review Service
How long should I book for?
We offer consultations in 1 hour slots – this is generally enough time to cover a trip up to 8/10 days but it will depend on how much planning you have already done.
- How long are you planning to spend in London (& the UK if relevant)
- How prepared your itinerary is (we have had some very detailed itineraries and also some with very little information – the more prepared you are the more you will get out of the session)
- How many general questions about London & UK travel you may have
We recommend booking a 1 hour session initially and then booking another to follow up once you have had a chance to reflect on any advice.
Alternatively book two 1 hour sessions on the calendar.

Feedback from previous itinerary consultation clients
The itinerary consultations are SO WORTH IT! I research everything and consider myself a dedicated planner, and the consultation with Tracy and Doug was invaluable. You will not regret it – it truly is a personalized concierge service.
Kathryn – Chicago, USA
“Tracy and Doug were very helpful in answering my questions about traveling in the UK. They took time to find out what my interests were and made suggestions to visit things that were not even on my radar.
If anyone has questions about traveling by train specifically, you will not find anyone or any site on the web more knowledgeable than Doug.
Between their UK Traveling website and FB page there is a wealth of knowledge available.
For anyone traveling to the UK for the first time, the addition of their consultation service was a game-changer for me. All the loose ends and uncertainties were wrapped up with our 45-minute conversation.
I really enjoyed the follow-up PDF that included everything we discussed in our zoom meeting including links to the websites for the points of interest we talked about and the website I needed to book my train travel from London to Edinburgh.”
Lori – Ohio, USA
As a travel consultant, I will help organise a personalised itinerary for you. I do not, however, book on your behalf. You’ll be free to finalise your itinerary and to book wherever you like. We’ll provide you discounts to help keep the cost down though. Please double-check the dates and information provided before booking your itinerary. Though we’ll do our very best, we are not liable for your vacation.
