Getting some ideas

Be a Local designs and books your entire journey – a luxury getaway, a cultural retreat, a shopping breakout, a family reunion or a perfect honeymoon. Otherwise, we can also just turn a trip you’ve planned into a dream vacation by adding just the special treats you crave – a private art lesson, a guided walking tour, a yatch cruise picnic, or the best room in a charming country hotel.

Either it is your first visit to London, or you are a frequent admirer of its treasures, either you have just two days-off or you can pleasure in a fortnight Bristish vacation, Be a Local will assess your interests and optimize your journey.

Take a look at some sample itineraries we have carefully depicted for our customers.

  1. //1//For a couple with two kids, that were already aware of London’s highlights, we prepared a countryside getaway for a long weekend in a Georgian manor house just an hour from Central London. There they enjoyed activities both for adults and for children and discovered tiny villages and thatched cottages, such as Jane Austen’s. Then a couple of days in the city in a very special hotel apartment that ensures a stressless experience; the visit was really fun for all the family, combining shopping and attending children friendly museums, gardens and restaurants.
  2. //2//Waiting for their intercontinental honeymoon flight, a couple chose to spend three indulgent days in London, in a luxury Victorian house hotel, enjoying the finest and cooler restaurants and clubs, art exhibitions ad shows. A very special boat trip by River Thames was a remarkable bullet in the agenda.
  3. //3//For a couple whose real interest was to enjoy some days of cultural enlightenment, we chose a chic and impeccable yet unpretentious hotel near the Royal Opera House, and then established different itineraries from the most popular yet astonishing art venues to the most hidden jewels such as the Wernher or the Wallace Collection. Delightful restaurants, afternoon teas at art galleries and theather performances were also carefully chosen and gratefully admired.
  4. //4//For a group of six friends we have just arranged a very special hip Londoner acctivity, that is attending the Cowes regatta week in the Isle of Wight, staying in a glamorous stunning tented camp. Then, a few days discovering the shopping secrets of Belgrave and Kensington and attending the newest West End musicals.
  5. //5//For two couples of friends, we could prepare a remarkable polo experience, combining the glamour of a private polo tuition with the luxury of a stylish stay in a stately home hotel set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, where they enjoyed also the pleasure of its spa and sport facilities.

These are some examples, and we hope you can feel identified with some of them, but Be a Local will make their most in order to draw the best trip based on your particular interests, because we know that the secret to a great vacation is finding the special places and experiences that will be most meaningful to you.
