The Tower, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, Westminster Abbey and Kensington Palace are just a few of the many highlights. You'll follow the historic trails of the Tudor dynasty and discover fascinating facts about the lives of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Bloody Mary and Queen Elizabeth I. We loved Princess Diana and include many sights that were meaningful in her life, as well as her memorials. Our fabulous Beatle tour will take you Here, There and Everywhere. You can follow the clues of the Da Vinci Code and race through the streets like Sophie and Langdon. Our insider tips focus on eateries; shopping, the theatre, safety and traveling around London.

The straightforward style and enthusiasm of the authors would encourage any traveler, and some of the tips for enjoying the best of London's great tourist sites are invaluable."

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just a London vacation but a London Experience Awaits!!!, December 31, 2005

By	gilmorelady (USA) - See all my reviews

I received this book for Christmas from a friend who thinks I should do a bit more traveling!! You Go Girl London makes me want to jump on a plane and head across the pond. These "girls" and their personal accounts makes me realize I really could go on a Girls Only trip to Europe and do it on a reasonable budget. I especially liked the historical aspects and the suggested books to read prior to going to London. Following this guide will give the traveler the opportunity to not just visit London but EXPERIENCE London understanding the history of what you are seeing. It will be fun to carry this guide with me as I travel and site see. Let's go girlfriends!!
I just looked up their website; www.yougogirltravelguides.com and saw that the next book "You Go Girl Paris" is in the works. I better get busy making plans for London as the next guide to visit Paris will most likely excite me to make more travel plans!! Thanks Ladies for the inspiration to GO!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, November 9, 2005

By	Cozette "homeexecutive" (Midwest) - See all my reviews

Boy, this book has me so eager to go to London with some of my Book Club friends. We have read Philippa Gregory books, Alison Weir books and others that these authors incorporate into their "You've got to see this" slant on sight-seeing in London. I have been pouring over the pages with heightened anticipation. We are booking our flights soon. What a fun guide to bring along (includes maps & temperature conversion charts as well as tips for getting around and where to eat). A perfect book for an affordable girls excursion!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tally Ho!! Wonderful book., April 24, 2006

By	Kelle Hudson (Fenwick, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Planning a trip to London with my daughters--this book is extremely helpful. The authors, who are traveling sisters, are very knowledgable and eager to share their expertise. Wonderful tips on what to see and how to save money while there, as well as how to save time and money when booking your trip. Also included is a brief overview of Tudor history.
I definately recommend this girl friendly book.
