London holiday for blind travellers
Description of London holiday for blind travellers
Designed expressly for members of the visually impaired community, this tailor made London tour can be shaped to your own personal interests. The suggested itinerary set out below takes in many of the city’s most iconic neighbourhoods and attractions, along with a few off-the-beaten-track experiences that mean you’ll escape the crowds for a while. You’ll be accompanied by trained, sighted local guides from arrival through to departure, who will also ensure you receive a detailed tour of your hotel on check-in.
Take in some of London’s most renowned landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and Hyde Park, with tactile tours in several locations that will give you an appreciation of the city’s historic architecture. Other sensory experiences you’ll enjoy on this London holiday include an artisan food tasting tour of Borough Market, a tasting session at a gin distillery, and touch-friendly tours of the exhibits in the V&A Museum, the British Museum, and the Royal Observatory.
You can get an absorbing sense of London’s vivacity as you walk through neighbourhoods including Chinatown, Soho and Camden with your guide, perhaps taking a stroll along the South Bank on the way to the Tate Modern. Feel the breeze in your air and the spray on your cheeks with a cruise along the River Thames, and sample some classic English pub grub with meals in traditional London pubs.
And as if all of this weren’t enough, this trip also includes a couple of truly special moments that will stay with you for years to come. Relax in the luxurious surrounds of Fortnum & Mason to smell some of their world-renowned teas. And then enjoy a spine-tingling evensong in the majestic Westminster Abbey. London’s rich tapestry of history and culture becomes wonderfully accessible on this carefully arranged tour.
