Customer Reviews
Incredibly informative, insightful, and enjoyable podcast!
I have been listening to Tracy and Doug’s podcast for many months now and have learned so much useful information to guide my family’s travels to England! Tracy is a lovely host whose warmth and humanity come through in her interviews. She so clearly enjoys traveling and the UK and her enthusiasm for the various destinations, tours, and experiences she highlights is contagious. I enjoy triangulating information shared on the podcast with insights from members of the UK Travel Planning Facebook page as well as Tracy and Doug’s website. I have picked up innumerable tips and ideas from all three sources and listening to the podcast just adds to the excitement for our next trip! Thank you to Tracy and Doug for all of your hard work in putting these resources together and helping make our family’s travels to England so memorable. (We visited London, York, and the Yorkshire Dales in August 2023 and are headed back to London and Canterbury in November of this year to hopefully experience a little UK Christmas magic!)
