Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 London: Arrival
Your classic London and Paris adventure begins with your arrival into London’s airport where you’ll be met with a warm welcome from our driver who will provide private transfer to your elegant hotel near Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. After check-in, take time to refresh and get settled in, enjoying the rest of the day at your leisure. You might stretch your legs with a walk to the grand royal residence, through Hyde Park or simply wander the streets to do some shopping and some people watching before enjoying a meal in one of the area’s many cozy pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Day 2 London: Ultimate London Tour
Enjoy a highlight on your itinerary with a classic tour in one of the city’s famous black cabs. It’s led by your own private cabby with local experience ensuring you’ll see all the top sights and more unique spots. It can be personalized to your interests, but some of the must-sees include Westminster Abbey, the site of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding and the place where the country’s kings and queens have been crowned and buried for nearly 2,000 years. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are just a few of the others and you’ll enjoy lunch in a more than 300-year-old pub.
Day 3 London: Half-Day Windsor Tour
Head out on a four-hour tour with your own driver/vehicle to visit 11th-century Windsor Castle, just over 20 miles west of London. The transfer service allows you to explore the royal residence on your own which is the oldest occupied castle in the world. This is where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed, and her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II often spent her weekends. Take a self-guided audio tour to explore the historic State Apartments that date to the early 19th century, still in use by the Royal Family today. After returning to your London hotel, the remainder of the day is at your leisure.
Day 4 Paris: Transfer from London
It’s time to begin the second half of your trip by transferring to Paris. Your private driver will meet you at your London hotel, providing transfer to the London St-Pancras Station where you’ll take the Eurostar London train to Paris. Upon arrival into the City of Lights, you’ll be welcomed by another driver for private transfer to your hotel in the Saint-Germaine neighborhood of Paris, known for its many designer boutiques like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Enjoy the rest of the day on your own, with many cafes and restaurants steps away, you’re perfectly situated for enjoying a fabulous Parisian meal alongside fine French wine.
Day 5 Paris: Private Full-Day City Tour
Today you’ll discover all of the Paris highlights on a full-day private tour with your own driver/guide. Tell your driver what interests you most and he’ll bring you there while using local insight to reveal other remarkable sights for the complete Parisian experience. Starting from your hotel, you’ll head out to see landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Ile de la Cité and Notre Dame Cathedral, traveling the Avenue des Champs-Elysees to marvel at the Arc de Triomphe and more. Montmartre and the white-domed Sacre Coeur at its summit is really a must, with the basilica offering a spectacular view over the city
Day 6 Paris: Private Half-Day Palace of Versailles Tour
You’ll have half the day for a tour of the Palace of Versailles and its glorious gardens and the other half to enjoy the city as you wish. First, your private driver/guide will bring you to the palace just a short drive from the city. The 250-acre grounds include some of the world’s most stunning gardens, rivaling even the palace itself. You’ll explore by strolling the winding paths that reveal countless orange trees and flowers, ornamental lakes, statues, fountains and the canal where King Louis XIV floated in a gondola. Discover the opulent interior too, including the highlight, the Hall of Mirrors room.

Your jam-packed week through the classic London and Paris highlights comes to an end this morning with your private driver meeting you at your hotel upon checkout.
