Destinations

As the character Vincent Vega once said, “It’s the little things” and that is certainly true of some of the tours we do. I have just completed a London, Paris and Rome tour where every day is another barrage of huge, world-famous sites, constant movement and hustle.

If you get the chance to tour Normandy, I hope your itinerary includes a stop at the American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer.

On April 26th 1937, a massive air raid by the German Luftwaffe on the Basque town of Guernica in Northern Spain shocked the world. Hundreds of civilians were killed in the raid which became a major incident of the Spanish Civil War.

Riding the London Underground is a hectic business most of the time. Like all major cities, locals are in a rush, seconds count and everyone else is considered an obstacle to otherwise seamless travel.

If you are visiting Rome or Barcelona with EF then you can be assured the chance to go inside St Peter's Basilica or wander around the Parque Guell. One of the things guides will tell you to enjoy is the astonishing mosaics in these places, works of detailed craft and painstaking arrangement.

I am now going to break a general rule and suggest a place to eat by name. I avoid doing this, generally, because I never want to be responsible for someone having a bad lunch. I will make an exception in the case of Trattoria le Mossacce.
