Day 1:
Paris by Bus Option
We travel to Paris by modern executive coach with one of our friendly drivers and our experienced Paris guide. Our journey includes a short sea crossing, from where you can usually see the famous White Cliffs and Dover Castle, as we sail towards France, then onto Paris.
Eurostar Train Option
Meet your guide at London St. Pancras train station by 06:45 a.m. at Eurostar check. Our train departs at 07:55 a.m. and just over two hours later we arrive in Paris.
You will be taken to our 3 star hotel right in the centre of Paris.
For both train and coach options this tour includes a cruise on the spectacular river Seine on the first day and also gives you the opportunity to climb the Eiffel Tower (entrance fee is extra) to get a bird's eye view of this wonderful city. A half day coach sightseeing tour of this amazing city is also included the first day. Sights you will see include Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Louvre Museum, Place de la Concorde, Eiffel Tower and more.

Eiffel Tower from the Seine |
During the evening, you will have the option to join your guide for dinner in a nearby local restaurant. This is a great opportunity to try the local food, whilst getting to know your fellow travellers (food, drink and any public transport is extra).
Day 2:
After breakfast, meet the guide at 9 a.m. for a full day of sightseeing by Paris Metro. The first stop is Montmartre for the Sacre Coeur, Place du Tertre and Moulin Rouge. Then on to Ille de la Cite and the world famous Notre Dame Cathedral, with time for lunch and shopping on the banks of the Seine.
The day finishes with some free time for shopping in Opera. Here you can shop in the department stores Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, see the Opera Garnier (entrance charge), visit the food shops Hediard or Fauchon, or maybe enjoy tea and macaroons at La Duree before the coach transfers you back to the hotel.
Or you can join our half day tour to Versailles, (see below).
You have the evening free to enjoy the Paris nightlife. From our hotel Bercy metro station is a two minute walk, and all areas of Paris City centre are easily accessible in minutes by metro.
Half day trip to the Palace & Gardens of Versailles - £39
We offer an optional afternoon fully guided tour to the stunning Palace & Gardens of Versailles. Undoubtedly the grandest and most famous chateau in France, Versailles was built in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV to project the absolute power of the French monarchy. It served as the political capital and royal court for over one hundred years, until in 1789 the revolutionary mobs massacred the Palace Guard and dragged Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to Paris to cut off their heads!
Price includes coach or train to Versailles, your tour guide and entry to the Palace. The Gardens are free of charge, except for Fountain Show and Musical Gardens days (from April to October).
Day 3:
A morning coach excursion to the Louvre Museum (entry not included, free on the first Sunday of every month) and your chance to see the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, Michelangelo's Dying Slave or to follow the trail of the Da Vinci Code!
Paris by Bus Option
After lunch, make a short stop on the journey to Calais for some very cheap shopping with some great deals on alcohol, tobacco and chocolates. We arrive back in Dover early evening 19:30-20:00, drop offs in London 21:00-21:45.
Eurostar Train Option
After lunch and some final free time for shopping we return to our hotel, collect our luggage and you will be collected by coach and transferred back to Paris Gare du Nord station for the return Eurostar Paris to London, arriving mid-evening.
