Detailed Trip Description

Spend a wonderful week in London and Paris with your family! Discover London with a local guide on a memorable and fun morning. See the major sights including Big Ben beside the River Thames, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall's mounted horseguards, and enjoy a “flight" on the London Eye, the world's tallest observation wheel with stunning views of the city.

Again, plenty of time for other activities, and optional excursions are available to the Louvre Museum, the bohemian area of Montmartre, and more. On the last evening, enjoy a farewell dinner in a local restaurant to celebrate the perfect vacation!
