I lived in the UK while working for an American TV network and I would agreed pretty much with everything these folks say. If time is not crucial, always take a bus and always sit upstairs. You just might see something of interest or a place you might want to go back to . . .

I’ve done them all but tea, as I don’t drink tea. But the pasty was in Cornwall . . .

Great video. 🎉 Je vais en France dans deux semaines 😊 very helpful! Merci beaucoup

First rule of thumb when traveling, be polite. Say hello (even if it's just Allo). Learn to ask "Do you speak English" in the native language. You don't go to your local Grocery store or ice cream and start demanding stuff. They usually greet you, you greet them and then you order or ask you question. If you are an A-Hole anywhere people will treat like one. So whether you go to Paris, New York, or your local ice cream store. Be polite. It guarantees people won't spit in your food.

Wonderful tips. I love the range of prices from 80 all the way down to 10. Thank you!

I say this a lot but if you want to travel and are looking for ideas to help afford it… I suggest getting a part time at a hilton… any hilton. I work at a Hilton and they give the best employee discounts. The employee room rates start at $40 a night. Hotel jobs are very easy to get without experience. Work for a few months to save for your trip and book with your discount! I have a london trip coming up and was able to get $40 a night. Also employees dont have to pay resort fees and if the hotel has a restaurant you can get 50% off the food if the hotel owns the restaurant. Something to think about

Hello! Do you recommend bringing a stroller? Is it doable in lisbon? Spending the days exploring by myself with 3 kids! husband will join in evenings.

7:59 - The pastry shop in Belém doesn't make a single Pastel de Nata, what they make is the Pastel de Belém. The Pastéis de Nata are what everyone else makes, since the Pastel de Belém has a secret recipe and a trademarked name and can't be copied. The only similarity is how they look, the pastries themselves are obviously different. 🙂 8:28 - That's ridiculous, the monastery didn't close because it went bankrupt, it was closed because, due to the liberal revolution, all the religious orders were extinct in 1834. Only then the monks started making the pastry to earn money to sustain themselves, until they sold the recipe in 1837 to the place where the pastry shop is located now, which used to be a sugar factory.

2:14 - "Viagem" is pronounced "vee-ah-gem", not "vayahem". It has the same etimology as a word you're familiar with: voyage. 😉

Love your videos! New follower here 🙋‍♀️ Where can we purchase train tickets from Lisboa Airport to Porto? Is there a website, or does it have to be in person?

We first watched you when we were planning our Hawaii trip last year. Now we are heading to Portugal in a few days and came across you again! So excited to see your travels, maybe we'll just continue to follow you!

Sadly, I lived and backpacked England and the Continent for seven months in '98 and didn't experience afternoon Tea! I did have Creamed Tea on a previous trip in '91 in Lavenham! It was brilliant!

Great video. Do you know if I use my credit card to get on the bus or Underground, do I need to pay transaction fee plus the bus fare?

Did you guys use a stroller in lisbon?

Great information guys, thank you. ❤

You can still ride routemasters on 15. They are every 30mins, they renames the route as Heritage Route T15.

Boris Johnson didn't launch the bike hire scheme. It was the previous mayor, Ian Livingstone.

My wife and I will be in London Oct 2-9. I'm overwhelmed by the neighborhoods and hotel options. We don't mind walking to get to attractions, and are o.k. spending $200-$250 (U.S.) per night. Any suggestions??

Best airport to land in? Best way to get to hotel? Lower cost-budget hotels? wow LAX nonstop to London as low as $119. one way. Time to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LAX-LGW) May 2025

Thank you for your tips...❤ are taxis easy to find? What about ubers?

If booking hotels months in advance , the prices can be reasonable and with dozens of hotels recently opened or in the planning stage , it should limit the peaks of dynamic pricing when demand is highest , prices in early summer 2025 ( as of September 2024 ) start off at £58 for 2 at a city Premier Inn and £63 at a Travelodge , so £29 per person !!! , which is amazing value.

Thanks, very useful tips for our trip in May. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Aww I miss greenwich!! I studied at the university of greenwich , and I absolutely loved walking into that campus everyday, exploring the area and seeing movie sets for films like Cruella!

If you are travelling to the UK, you can pick up a uk sim card, with anything up 50GB of data, with free calls for around between 15 to 20 pounds for a month. You could properly get other sim’s cheeper than that, however you have to make sure that your phone is unlocked. In the UK all new phones are sold unlocked, but in other countries I’m not sure whether it is the case. Personally I would never take either the Heathrow or Gatwick express, there are better and cheeper alternatives such as the Elizebeth line in the case of Heathrow and both Thameslink and Southern in the case of Gatwick.

Thank you for these videos. I watched your Hawaii ones last year b4 I visited and this year I found you yesterday and will be in Lisbon in October. Love you guys!!

Thanks for the great advice about my home city ! , you could easily spend a week visiting the hundreds of attractions available in the 2nd most popular city for foreign tourists in the UK. The hotels are definitely not the most expensive in Europe but it has the highest occupancy rating of any city which will obviously inflate prices in peak season due to supply and demand. The unique city centre is a World Heritage Site , Old & New Town along with the Forth (rail) bridge , which was built in the 1880's , is an amazing feat of engineering for it's time. Fun facts: There are more Americans living in Edinburgh than any other UK city apart from central London , the US Consulate has been operating since 1798 and the statue of Abraham Lincoln in the Old Calton Burial Ground was the first of any president overseas and still the only monument to the American Civil War outside the US !. Really enjoyed your fun , entertaining and informative style of presenting , 'haste ye back' , which is Scottish for come back soon , there will always be a warm welcome !.

I would love to hear any tips you have with travelling with little children, especially for Sintra, since the palaces seem like hikes would be needed. :)

Bravo Erica and Jordan, a magnificent video that perfectly explains the things to do for a perfect visit to Paris. I strongly advise all tourists to watch this video, between the French words to know (the French are happy when you make the effort to say them) and the magnificent places to visit (the Luxembourg gardens are an absolute must). Advice to follow absolutely.

Tried planning our day and locations around Borough Market for lunch. Got there on a Monday and it's closed on Mondays : \

Are there any good French patisseries in London? Paris is so close, I thought they would have some.

Do you have a 5 day itinerary???????????? we can buy? Any hotel recommendations outside of the city near a train line?

And it's pronounced, "Edinbra" not "Edinburrow".

St. Giles Cathedral is celebrating 900 years this year, 2024. And Grey Friars Kirk is still having services on Sunday. We know because we went to one in July, 2024.

What type of stroller do you have ? It looks like it travels well and folds up. Please put an amazon link below.

omgoodness, did you notice how well behaved the French children are? I was amazed how polite they were! Your children are perfect. Angelina's is the BEST! whaa, I miss Paris!!!!! I stay outside of Paris and take the train in daily for the sites, save $$$$$$$$$$$$.

I use to live in Interlaken, Switzerland.
