About This Tour



Vacation Overview
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. Then plenty of time for independent sightseeing: why not take in one of London’s West End theatre shows, visit Madame Tussauds, or join an optional excursion to Windsor Castle or the Tower of London? Next, an exciting ride on the high-speed Eurostar train to Paris. Upon arrival, ride the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The next morning, sightseeing with a Local Guide features all of the city’s major sights, including the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysées, Opera, and a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral with its Rose Window. 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!

CURRENT SPECIALS:

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus

Discount for young travelers

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Pay less for your second vacation

We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.

Triple room reduction

On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.

Avoid the single room supplement

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
