London & Paris: A Tale of Two Cities Family Vacation(rff)
7 days from London to Paris, or 8 days incl. travel
Spend a wonderful week in
London and
Paris with your family! Start in London and discover this magnificent city with a Local Guide on a memorable and fun morning. See the major sites like Big Ben beside the River Thames,
Westminster Abbey, and Whitehall’s mounted horseguards. Enjoy a “flight” on the London Eye, the world’s tallest observation wheel with stunning views of the city. Then there’s plenty of time for independent sightseeing—why not take in one of London’s West End theater shows, visit Madame Tussauds, or join an optional excursion to Windsor Castle or the Tower of London? Next, an exciting ride on the high-speed Eurostar train to Paris. Upon arrival, ride the elevator to the top of the
Eiffel Tower. The next morning, sightseeing with a Local Guide features all major sites of Paris, like the
Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysées, the Opéra, and a visit to
Notre Dame Cathedral. Again, there is plenty of time for other activities, and optional excursions are available to the
Louvre Museum, the Palace of Versailles, and more. On the last evening, enjoy a farewell dinner in a local restaurant to celebrate the perfect vacation!
