Every photo tells a tale of family fun and shared discoveries... an old- fashioned “telephone call box” near Big Ben and
Parliament... happy faces after the scavenger hunt at Musée du Louvre... aboard the high speed
Eurostar train taking you to Paris faster than you can imagine...
Day 1 – Arrive London / A private double-decker bus ride Tour begins: 3:00 PM, The Royal Horseguards. Welcome to London, one of Europe’s most delightful capital cities. A transfer is included from London’s Heathrow Airport to The Royal Horseguards hotel, centrally located near landmark sights like Buckingham Palace and the Royal Parks. Board our private double-decker bus for a fun-filled sightseeing excursion this afternoon – it’s a perfect introduction to some of the most famous places in London. Join us for a welcome reception and dinner tonight. Meals D
Day 2 – Up in the Tower of London & on the London Eye Meet an English “Beefeater” today before exploring the infamous Tower of London – it has served as both a castle and prison through the centuries! See the Bloody Tower and the priceless Crown Jewels, then get set for an exciting speedboat adventure on the Thames River. You will experience a different view of the city from your private capsule on the London Eye; the world’s highest observation wheel takes you 450 feet above the Thames River. Tonight, dine like the locals do in a real London pub! Meals BLD
Day 3 – See Windsor Castle and The Wizard of Oz See how English royalty live on a visit to Windsor Castle; built by William the Conqueror in 1070, it has been home to the kings and queens of England for over 900 years! You can always tell if the Queen is in residence by the flag that flies over the Round Tower. View Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, built in the early 1920s; this exquisitely detailed miniature palace even has working chandeliers, a grandfather clock that chimes on the hour, a water system, and a tiny wine cellar that contains real wine. This afternoon, join us on a bike ride through the Royal Parks of London, followed by a special treat tonight in London’s West End Theatre District for a musical performance of The Wizard of Oz.

Day 4 – Explore a London museum & go on a spy walk Take a guided tour of the British Museum, chronicling two million years of history and culture. The museum has grown from a collection of private manuscripts in 1753 to the most comprehensive treasury of art and artifacts in the world and is housed in 2½ miles of galleries! It’s spy versus spy on an afternoon walk when you become a Bond agent and try to save the world. Will you rescue the girl before the silos explode? Who will interrogate the white cat? Find out during your last night in London! Meals BL
Day 5 – Speed aboard the Eurostar to Paris Travel aboard the high-speed Eurostar train today for a journey that takes you from London to Paris in just two hours and fifteen minutes, the fastest time ever, with an amazing ride under the English Channel. We’ll introduce you to the city on a sightseeing tour, including the Eiffel Tower, before checking you into your Parisian hotel. Your hotel is ideally located just steps from Tuileries Garden, Place Vendome, and Place de la Concorde, and is also close to Musée du Louvre. Dinner tonight is at an authentic Parisian brasserie where you will experience a real taste of life in Paris. Meals BD
