Our rendezvous will be in Covent Garden, from where we will stroll amid street entertainers, artisan stalls, and unique boutiques. Traversing over the stone-paved lanes, we will soon find ourselves enveloped in the secret garden (a hidden treasure of London), lit by Victorian-era gas lamps.

Like Charles Dickens once did, we’ll traverse concealed paths while your guide spins stories of Ebenezer Scrooge. As we weave through additional Christmas markets, you’ll learn about Queen Victoria’s role in shaping contemporary Christmas and marvel at the origins of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and other festive customs.

Encircled by festive lights and sounds, you’ll sip on a glass of spiced mulled wine before we head to Trafalgar Square. Here, we’ll wrap up our exploration of Christmases past, present, and future, with stunning city landmarks enveloping us.
