England & Wales Travel Skills

[@mysteryofiran409]

thank you Rick Steves, for your wonderful program!

[@pengster2592]

So sad you did not showcase more of Wales, this really was, as you said, a side step into Wales. There is so much to see in the south and west.

[@Latinclassics]

Tunbridge Wells is a cosy town to get to as well and just one hour by train from London. I also agree with a previous poster. Hiking from Eastbourne to Beachy head is great. Major castles and places of literary interest are also in the South (Kent/East Sussex).

[@anndeakin1508]

Enjoyed this tour England thanks Rick.

[@In1998able]

And don't use the Tube before 9:00 AM because they are very busy

[@arkon6084]

Thank you for sharing. You are so knowledgeable in travelling and well spoken. Your presentation is so informative with lot of added values.

[@MarilynCrosbie]

My cousin and I bought tickets online from her home for the train and a tour bus of our choice (hop on hop off) and sat up on top on a lovely sunny day and saw lost of buildings with headset on listening to the recorded message on the bus. One bus tour included a Thames River cruise, which we took to cool off from the hot trip. It was a hot day. I believe we were there on June 8, 2016 just before you uploaded this video. The commentator on the ferry was very informative and funny.

[@roninabil1]

you are so concise and to the point, thank you

[@diamonddave2622]

Good call about Blackpool.

[@Ulysses1707]

It's not the Halls of Parliament. No one ever says that. It's called the Houses of Parliament or the Palace of Westminster.

[@ronmosely8355]

The London Taxis are the best!

[@KateLeouyeettooio]

I am giong to visit london on this summer thanks guy ❤❤❤

[@ireneerickson1568]

My friend and I are planning our first trip to England. We have 3 weeks but the last 4 days I need to be in London. This was a great overview to help us decided how to plan our trip. Thank you! PS...too bad there are people who rather "nit-pick" the presentation than applaud for the amount of information you did get right.

[@cindyegle5764]

I enjoyed all of the information. You are a lucky man.

[@marilynkarendef.ch.327]

Thank you for Educating us all Blessings to all who make this Posible 🎶🌲❤🌲🎶

[@madamlakwatsera5674]

Thanks Rick.

[@ritankarsasmal380]

fantastic guide as always!!!

[@MienemLeben]

As of April 2022, Big Ben is under maintenance and there is scaffolding all around the bell tower.

[@paul0gb]

Rick you have missed out the Peak District the first national park in the UK.

[@jamestravels2753]

really interesting talk, thank you for sharing, so many great places and places to eat in!

[@MarilynCrosbie]

And there is Battle where 1066 occurred. Maidstone has reenactments. There is Lewes. There is Churchill's private home you can visit (didn't get there). Chartwell.

[@QFIhawkman]

There's nothing wrong with his recommendations but it does irk me a little that he gets so many place names wrong. Oxford Circle? Trafalgar? Halls of Parliament? Windsor Palace? It's like he's flash-read another guide book and forgotten some of the details.

[@ittdust]

Or is basing it off memory of trips decades ago

[@EarlJohn61]

The Breakfasts... Are designed for a hard physical day's work... Certainly not heart attack material, UNLESS you're sitting behind a desk 5 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

[@alisharosey7948]

Yep. They have protein, carbs, fat and vegetables -filling and all the nutrition you really need for the day.

[@MarilynCrosbie]

I am shocked that people don't like Beachy Head etc. Eastbourne and Brighton are wonderful!

[@djmrhill]

I don't think he was saying people don't like it. He was saying the cliffs are very high so if you want to commit suicide then they provide an opportunity.

[@alisharosey7948]

I think people know less about those places. They're less iconic/well known but are extremely beautiful, hidden gems but then again, every corner of England is absolutely gorgeous. Except Blackpool/Manchester/Liverpool ! Northumberland is my favourite county for castles on the beach and moody moors and villages.

[@MarilynCrosbie]

Rick, I flew into London Gatwick airport where I was met by my cousin from Eastbourne. She drove me past the rolling hills covered with lambs and showed me Brighton briefly and we drove over to Eastbourne. The following day she took me to Beachy Head, the Belle Tout Lighthouse, Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters. The chalk cliffs were wonderful to see. I wanted to go to Southend-On-Sea, so wen there. I also wanted to go to Twickenham to see Kneller Hall and take in a concert there where my late husband studied as a bandsman in the 11th Hussars. We did the London "hop-on-hop-off" red double decker and I wanted to see Trafalgar Square where my husband brought a 60-piece High school band from Toronto to put on a show there. The Toronto school tour had parents as chauffeurs and they put on concerts all over the UK. They kids had a wonderful unforgettable time. I often wonder why Eastbourne is overlooked by many travel writers. It is such a lovely waterfront city with a renovated pier with lovely restaurant and there is a bandstand on the beach front. Brighton is similar and has many interesting things to enjoy also.

[@In1998able]

The crown jewels in Rosenborg Slot in Copenhagen are even more impress if

[@MarilynCrosbie]

Impressive.

[@carlosquiroa6492]

love it!

[@rugby1971]

actually Truro in Cornwall is the samllest city with a gothic cathedral

[@anndeakin1508]

Great tour of the London highlights nice to her what visitors to England and the main city’s of the land Rick suggests to tourists from round the world might see in England as a person from Warwick UK.Thanks Rick.

[@Tuffydipstick]

Pan fried toast is fried bread! It's not the Halls of Parliament. It's the HOUSES of Parliament.

[@WanderlustEstate]

How do you have over 3000 views yet only 13 reviews?

[@donnaoliver6654]

I love the app. I use it for exercising my brain while exercising my body.

[@CassieB64]

There is only one lake in the LAKE district and that it Bassenthwaite Lake. Windermere is a mere, not a lake.

[@beccagrant8973]

It is houses of parliament not halls

[@fossy4321]

Every time he said the halls of parliament I found it really really irritating, don't know why because I like his videos.

[@1967AJB]

He gets it right occasionally, give the guy a break, he does pretty well for a 75 minute presentation out of his head, and anyway the building should be called the Palace of Westminster.

[@HolographicSweater]

he said “many people on the underground speak english” 😂 careful you don’t john cheese yourself there buddy!

[@Hen9207]

as an English person, this presentation and perspective of England, just made me angry!! Lol.

[@ethanpatrick]

Okay. Thanks for the update. How are you feeling now?

[@perumalganeshan3405]

Must be patience enough to sense your native articulation anyway its informative could feel the cultural practices

[@jca111]

Houses not Halls of Parliament!

[@Hen9207]

Just miss out the whole of the south west and Cornwall why don't you... only the most beautiful coastal region of England. Am I right?!

[@HolographicSweater]

why would they call shakespeare’s theater “The Globe” if ppl thought the earth was flat back in medieval times 🤔

[@richardrichard5409]

They really didn't 😎

[@inkyscrolls5193]

It's really funny how foreigners think it rains a lot in London, when that is literally the driest city in the UK!

[@amiddled]

Inky Scrolls Two things. 1. It is all relative. For England, there isn't as much rain in London. But if you've come from Arizona, it rains a lot in London. 2. There can be a geography misconception amongst some in the USA that London IS England.

[@ittdust]

I was in the UK for three weeks, 10 days in London, and the weather was quite nice most of the time.

[@alisharosey7948]

I don't get why people think it rains a lot in England in general when it doesn't. I live in the North East and we get rain a few times a month. Really baffles me when people say that. I've been to countries in Europe where it has rained and didn't think it rained any less there than in England.

[@richardrichard5409]

It isn't literally the driest city in the UK.

[@philryan3540]

Pugin designed Parliament..

[@viktorschubernel258]

Ну телефон, ну Биг Бен. Часики работают безсбоя..вот и работайте,работайте!

Zip here..zip there..don't forget the laxatives

[@moadil8542]

Trump supporters must visit Europe simply to know what the world is all about!!!!

[@Isabel-of4wq]

I love you Rick BUT a small niggle …. in London it’s the Houses of Parliament not the Halls of Parliament

[@dinerouk]

And the fact that all museums have free mission!
