A Lovely London Magical Tours Review from our friends from New York

We hope everyone is doing well during the current climate.

Every year we receive thousands of comments from happy visitors from across the globe that visit the UK on our group and private London tours.  Many are featured in the customer comments section of the main London Magical Tours website. Every now and then we do however receive wonderful trip reports with stories and photos to match. We wanted to share one such example in this week’s blog, courtesy of the Terezakis family from New York.

Thank you for having the time to share your thoughts and comments on your London Magical Tour. We are thrilled to hear you had a truly magical time with us exploring London!

We only had 2 full days in London and didn’t want to waste them trying to see all the sights by ourselves so we booked a private tour with London Magical Tours. What a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Our tour guide made it so much fun for all of us especially our 2 teenagers. His knowledge of the history of all the places we visited truly made the experience unforgettable. From St. James Palace to the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, fish and chips in Kensington, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and ending with high tea, we covered so much in one day. Our driver was amazing as well!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We had a memorable experience thanks to London Magical Tours!

War veteran raises £14million for the NHS

We would like to share this fantastic piece of inspirational news:

Captain Thomas Moore, 99 years of age, completed his target of 100 laps walk around his garden here in the United Kingdom. With less than a fortnight before his 100th birthday on April 30, the fundraising walk has currently raised £14million for the National Health Service amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

The fundraising campaign was launched last Thursday, and soon hit its initial target of £1,000 within the first 24 hours. With regards to the coronavirus pandemic, he told BBC news: ‘We will get through it, at the end of the day we shall all be okay again.’

Several staff members, friends and family of London Magical Tours’ team are currently serving in the front line in hospitals across the UK. We are so proud of the efforts they are putting in to help the NHS and are all very much looking forward to seeing them and our guests return on our London tours.


London’s Nightingale Hospital – Britain’s 1st Temporary Hospital

The Nightingale Hospital (pictured above) is the UK’s first temporary hospital, created in under 2 weeks, to treat patients during this time of crisis.

Located in the east of London, The ExCel Centre will start with 500 beds open for coronavirus patients with space for up to 4,000.

It is fantastic to see such a great cause come to life in such a short period of time. With the number of cases currently increasing, temporary hospitals such as the Nightingale, are being considered across the United Kingdom.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the members of staff at the NHS and volunteers alike who are doing their utmost to serve the country during this time of need. A big thank you also to some of our members of  Magical Tours staff who are volunteering and giving their time to aid the cause as our founder Dr. Gil Cartland used to do.

Corona Virus around the World – Latest Update

With the coronavirus affecting over 150 countries around the world, it is inspiring to see so many countries helping each other.

In this time of crisis we are seeing many if not all countries showing solidarity. In France, President Macron has confirmed that they are alongside Italy, one of the most affected countries hit by the pandemic. France and Germany have delivered over 2 million mask and additional gowns to their Italian neighbours.

Yesterday March 27th 2020, President Trump of the USA confirmed that they are building thousands of ventilators not only to aid US citizens, but to also provide additional ventilators to many countries around the world who are in desperate need of them.

We can report that unfortunately the Prime Minster of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has confirmed he has the coronavirus. He is following the recommended guidelines by staying at home and self-isolating.

We hope you are all staying safe and practising the advice laid out by the health experts. You can do your part by self isolating and practising good hygiene.

Here in Magical Tours we are supporting are employees by having them work from home, providing both both medical and economical support.

We will keep you updated with latest news and hope you are staying safe and keeping in good health during this difficult time.

 

 

 


Boris Johnson – Our Prime Minister and Hero

Did you know that Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, is a big fan of Winston Churchill – the prime minister that led the UK to victory during the second world war? Boris is such an admirer of Winston, that he even wrote a book about him.

It is inspiring to watch Boris as he faces the ongoing health crisis as the world unites forces to overcome the virus spread.

We thought it would be in good jest to share one of our favourite videos that highlights the Prime Minister’s sense of humour to help brighten your spirit during these challenging times.

Every year the Magical Tours company welcomes many people from all over the world and we expect to see you all soon!

We will keep you all updated on this blog with further news as it arrives.
