By Mary Wilson


Most people love visiting England and plan to return. There is so much history and beauty to the country that everyone finds things to see, do and explore. There are keeps and castles that go back centuries. The landscape is like something out of a storybook, and the towns with their thatched roof houses are quaint and inviting. It can be overwhelming to decide how to spend your vacation days without taking advantage of the custom tours London visitors love.

If you are a first time visitor, you can get a great general sense of the city by taking one of several popular excursions touring companies offer. You will be first in line in the morning to take a walk through Christopher Wren's masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral. From there you will travel to Westminster Abbey for a photo opportunity. Next comes the Queen's home, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guards.

The ravens will greet you at the infamous Tower of London, the last home of Anne Boleyn and the Princes in the Tower. This is where the Crown Jewels are kept, and you will have a chance to view them on your way to the White Tower. A leisurely boat ride down the Thames will give you spectacular views of this city. Finally it is time to fly up and away on the London Eye, the highest observation wheel on the planet.

Those who have already experienced the general tours might like something special and a bit macabre. England is not a stranger to mystery and notoriety. If you are adventurous you can take the open bus through the city's most haunted streets to Tower Hill. At one time enthusiastic citizens cheered the regular executions that took place here.

Next you'll take a walk through the notorious Smithfield Market and see where Braveheart was tortured. As the day winds down, it will be time to walk the alley ways where Jack the Ripper performed his macabre murders. Once you have completed that tour, you will be ready to relax at the Sherlock Holmes pub and discuss with the other tour members who Jack really was.

For children of all ages, the Warner Brother Studio Tour of its making of Harry Potter is a must see. For your added enjoyment, the attraction has recently been expanded and updated. Visitors get to see props, costumes, and behind the scenes looks of this great movie series. The hidden secrets of the special effects and animatronics will be revealed to you.

You will have a chance to walk through the train station and get a peek at Platform 9 3/4, step into the menacing Forbidden Forest, and visit the Great Hall. Dumbledore's private office door is be open to you before your stroll down Diagon Alley in search on the best brooms and wands in the wizarding world.

No matter what your tastes and interests, you'll find a tour to enjoy. In this magical city, the possibilities are endless. England's capital is like no other place on the planet.
