LONDON PLUS PARIS (7 Days)

On this 7-day tour of London and Paris, you’ll enjoy in-depth guided sightseeing along the cities’ famous roads and rues, as well as from the perspective of the legendary Thames and Seine rivers as you take in the historic skylines on relaxing, story-filled cruises.

With plenty of free time in each city, you can immerse yourself in the famous sights you’ve long envisioned, the storied streets you’ve often imagined, and the sidewalk cafés you’ve always dreamed of.
NOTE: Amsterdam can be added to this for an additional 2 days. It is one of my faves because these three cities have distinctly different looks and feels to them. You get a lovely taste of Europe in one package.
