Travel Review: Luxury Family Trip to England & France, London, Paris, Normandy, Oxford, Bath, Thames River Cruise, Omaha Beach

We loved the whole trip, however I was surprised by how great Bath, England was. It's a great town beyond just the Roman baths. Oxford was also really great, and the private punt lesson/tour was amazing. The tour guides our agency set us up with in these 2 towns knew EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY in these towns! Made for such an enriched experience! London was also super- the kids (and us!) loved the Rib boat experience down the Thames. Having our oyster cards and museum passes ahead of time made touring on our own really easy and fun. All of our travel specialists' suggestions and reservations were spot on. They little personal touches they left in each hotel as we arrived were sweet and unexpected. Taking the Eurostar to France was surprisingly easy and fun. Paris was lovely, though the weather was hot when we had expected chilly (which was great except our summer clothes were back in Savannah ;) ). Trip to Normandy was marred slightly by it being a French holiday which made the traffic terrible, but once we were there was overwhelming and something we will never forget (US cemetery and Omaha Beach). A stop at Honfleur on the way back was awesome.
