Historical Places experiences

Stepping into Senso-ji Temple is like wandering through a vibrant tapestry of Tokyo's past. As the city's oldest temple, it's a kaleidoscope of history and spirituality. The approach is a feast for the senses, with the colorful Nakamise street offering an array of traditional Japanese treats and crafts. Inside, the temple grounds are a serene escape from the city bustle, inviting visitors to reflect and absorb the tranquil yet lively atmosphere. Senso-ji isn't just a visit; it's a journey through the soul of Tokyo, blending the sacred with the bustling daily life of the city.

A private licensed cab and a driver who has passed the Knowledge, which is the closest thing London has to a walking encyclopedia with wheels. You'll roll past Big Ben, St Paul's, and Tower Bridge with commentary and no jostling. Good in the rain, which is a real consideration here.

Edinburgh's spine runs downhill from the castle to Holyroodhouse, and it is (almost exactly) an old Scots mile. The pleasure is in the closes and wynds shooting off either side, dark and steep and largely ignored by the crowds. Duck down a few.
