Are you feeling completely overwhelmed while planning your UK itinerary?
Or maybe you’ve got a rough idea of what you want to do, but want feedback on how to make it work the best?
Want to make the most of your time in the UK?
Let me help!
These 1-to-1 meetings are the perfect way to you to get tailored travel advice about your upcoming UK adventure, particularly if it’s your first time in the UK as a visitor.
After 12 years of living in the UK as an American, I love helping new visitors explore the UK safely, efficiently, and in a way that suits your specific travel style and needs.
Already know you want to book? Click here to request an appointment on my calendar (time will be in your timezone).
I cover everything from…
- Hidden gems and off-the-beaten path attractions
- Authentic pubs and restaurant recommendations
- Efficient use of public transportation (it’s awesome in the UK)
- Fitting all of those iconic attractions in without wasting too much time pivoting back and forth across the city
- Anything and everything London (but I cover the entire UK!)
- Exciting and memorable day trips (and what to skip)
You can check out me out on YouTube here as well or the main Girl Gone London blog.
Book a Private Travel Consultation with a UK Expert
What’s included in my consultation?
Your consultation will include:
- dedicated time with Kalyn, the founder of Girl Gone London and experienced writer and tour guide. This session is private, for only you and your group. You will be sent a link, and we’ll use this time together to plan a personalized itinerary for you (or we’ll go over your existing plans or if you’re just at the start of planning, I can answer any of your questions). I’ll share my local wisdom and make sure you feel confident in how to fit it all in. I don’t make the bookings on your behalf, but will make sure you know how to book independently.
- a Google Sheet with your personalized itinerary and notes from the call
What do I need to do to get ready for my call?
To make the most of your time, come prepared with your questions, travel dates, and any specific interests (or dislikes) to help me plan.
If you have some of your itinerary already, please do e-mail it through ahead of time. I can’t guarantee I can read through it before the call due to time constraints, but this will help me get quickly down to work when we begin.
Equally, you don’t need to prepare anything in advance if you don’t have time, but obviously the more organized you are, the more you can get out of the session.
What can I ask?
Absolutely anything you want!
- Hidden gems
- The best place or time of day to do a certain activity
- London/UK must-dos – are they really must-dos?
- How long to spend in each attraction and each place
- Accommodation recommendations
- How to use public transportation and the best form of transportation for your style
- Packing for your trip
- How far to book in advance
- Budgeting advice
- Where to find the best prices and get the most discounts
I can’t guarantee I’ll know every single answer, but if there’s anything I’m unsure of as we create your itinerary, I’ll be honest and help point you in the right direction.
