Day 1 – A ride on a private double-decker bus
Tauck's London and Paris tour departs: 11:00 AM from London’s Heathrow Airport. Welcome to "merrie olde" England!

Join us for a welcome reception and dinner tonight.
Meals: Lunch, dinner
Lodging: Langham Hotel, London, England

Day 2 – The Tower of London – and what's the London Eye?
The Tower of London is steeped in history, having served as both a castle and a prison. Meet the Beefeaters who watch over it and the famous ravens that live within its walls; see the Bloody Tower and the priceless Crown Jewels. Cruise along the River Thames and ride 450 feet above the city in a glass pod on the British Airways London Eye, the world's highest observation wheel.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch
Lodging: Langham Hotel, London, England

Day 3 – Visit a castle and go to the theatre
The home of kings and queens for over 900 years, this stately castle is still a residence of the Royal Family today. Seeing the exquisitely detailed Queen Mary’s Dolls' House is a treat for children of all ages. Tonight, attend a performance of Wicked in a London West End theatre – you'll find out you don't know everything about the Land of Oz!
Meals: Breakfast
Lodging: Langham Hotel, London, England

Day 4 – See the wax figures… or see the mummies
You have a choice today. Celebrities and superstars crafted of wax are waiting to meet you during a visit to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. Or, take a guided tour of the fascinating British Museum, with its collections of mummies and all sorts of other amazing things.
Meals: Breakfast
Lodging: Langham Hotel, London, England

Day 5 – The Channel, the Chunnel and the Paris tour begins
As you enjoy riding in First Class aboard the high-speed Eurostar train, it may be hard to believe that you’re traveling under the English Channel.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Lodging: The Westin Paris, France

Day 6 – A Château fit for a King, a Paris tour highlight
A visit to Versailles, built by King Louis XIV and the largest palace in Europe, reveals a realm of grandeur and riches beyond the imagination of the Montmartre artists of his time; it would cost more than $2 billion to build today. Explore the opulent Palace with a local guide and view the exquisite gardens. The rest of the day is free to see and do what interests you most.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 7 – Explore Notre Dame and Montmartre
Visit fabled Notre Dame with a local expert during this Paris tour. Look for gargoyles and imagine The Hunchback of Notre Dame high up in his bell tower.
