Michael Cohen – first trip to England in 2008 My acquaintance with England began during a student trip to London. These two weeks grew into a deep love for the country that changed my entire professional path. For the past 17 years, I have explored every corner of England – from the bustling streets of London to the quiet villages of the Cotswolds, from the rocky shores of Cornwall to the green hills of the Lake District. England is an amazing blend of antiquity and modernity. Here, medieval castles stand alongside ultra-modern skyscrapers, and centuries-old traditions are harmoniously woven into dynamic urban life. I have learned to find hidden places of authentic England and share them with those who want to discover the country beyond the typical tourist route. Over the years, I have developed more than 300 individual itineraries, published a series of guidebooks, and conducted hundreds of tours throughout England. Let me help you discover the real England – not just the one depicted on postcards, but the one that lives in the hearts of local residents.

England, with its rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant cities, is a destination that offers a unique and unforgettable travel experience. Whether you’re interested in the bustling streets of London, the serene countryside of the Lake District, or the historic charm of York, England has something for every traveler. This expert guide will help you navigate what to see, where to go, the best attractions, weather considerations, transport options, local cuisine, an approximate daily travel plan, and essential tips for tourists.
