DAY 1

Arrive in London

Arrive in London and meet your driver at the airport, station or other central location confirmed in your travel documents. Continue to your selected four-star or higher accommodation, check in when your room is ready and take time to settle in after the journey.

Keep the remaining hours light. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a gentle introduction to the Thames and the neighborhoods around your hotel or stay close to the hotel for a quiet meal. Organized sightseeing starts after you have had time to rest. International travel before arrival is separate from the hotel-night count shown for this route.

Overnight: London. Hotel night 1 of 9.

DAY 2

London landmarks with a local guide

Meet your local guide for an introduction to London, following a route through selected landmarks and historic areas. The city is large, so we choose a practical combination rather than attempt every major sight in one day. Stops and walking distances reflect your interests and pace.

After the guided visit, take time for lunch and a relaxed afternoon. Admissions and any private transport appear in your proposal. Your guide's introduction helps with the independent days ahead, giving you ideas for neighborhoods, museums and places to return to during your stay.

DAY 3

Royal London and neighborhood time

Spend the day around the royal and historic part of London selected for your program. Follow the streets, parks and landmarks at a comfortable pace, with any interior visits agreed before quotation. Ceremonies depend on current schedules and are not assumed in the draft.

Allow time for lunch and an independent afternoon. Your travel expert will help balance major sights with travel across the city, leaving enough room to enjoy the visit. Additional admissions, tea experiences or evening performances remain optional until listed in the proposal.

DAY 4

London at leisure

Use a full independent day to enjoy London according to your interests. Choose a museum, follow a neighborhood walk, browse shops or spend time along the Thames. Your travel expert will suggest a manageable plan from your hotel rather than scatter visits across the city.

Any extra tour, show or admission should be agreed before quotation. Otherwise, the day stays flexible, with room for lunch and a break at the hotel. This is a chance to return to a favorite area and spend longer where you feel most interested.

DAY 5

A day in the Cotswolds

Travel out of London for the planned Cotswolds excursion, exchanging the city's streets for country roads and smaller villages. The itinerary favors a few well-chosen stops with time to walk, take photographs and pause for lunch rather than a long checklist.

Your proposal confirms the villages, vehicle, guiding and meeting arrangements. Travel time forms a substantial part of a day trip from London, so the exact route follows your pace and interests. Return to your London hotel in the evening, with dinner arranged independently.

DAY 6

London to Paris

Check out after breakfast and continue from London to Paris using the international rail service and local transfers selected for your dates. Your travel documents confirm the departure point, timing, baggage arrangements and any station or airport transfers. We allow practical time for the journey rather than adding a major sightseeing commitment before check-in.

Settle into your accommodation in Paris, then enjoy an independent introduction to riverfront walks, neighborhood cafés and historic streets. Pause for lunch or dinner as the timing allows, and leave room to rest before the next full day of sightseeing. The final proposal confirms the transport and services included on this travel day.

DAY 7

Paris landmarks and a Seine cruise

Meet your local guide for an introduction to Paris through its riverfront, avenues and historic neighborhoods. Follow a route shaped around the sights and walking pace agreed in your proposal, with time to stop for photographs and understand how the city developed around the Seine.

Later, see the city from the water on a planned Seine cruise. The sailing, boarding point and any meal arrangements will be confirmed for your dates. Leave the remaining hours open for a café stop or an independent walk rather than filling the day with another long excursion.

DAY 8

The Louvre and time in central Paris

Visit the Louvre with a local guide, focusing on a manageable selection of collections instead of attempting the entire museum. Your interests help shape the visit, from painting and sculpture to the palace itself. Allow time for the museum's entry procedures and security checks.

Afterward, enjoy central Paris at your own pace. The Tuileries and nearby arcades offer places for a walk, lunch or a break before returning to your hotel. Timed admissions, guiding arrangements and transport are confirmed in your written proposal. Any additional museum visit is optional.

DAY 9

Versailles palace and gardens

Leave Paris for a planned visit to Versailles. Explore the palace and the grounds selected for your program, with guiding and admissions arranged around the date of your visit. The scale of the estate makes a focused route more rewarding than rushing between every building.

Keep time for lunch and a slower walk through the gardens before returning to Paris. Fountain programs, individual areas and access arrangements vary by season. Your proposal identifies the included sections and transport, with walking distances considered when we agree the day's pace.

Planning your trip

Is this a scheduled group departure?

This is a customized package with dates and services agreed for your party. Your proposal specifies whether individual activities use a private guide, a shared tour or independent time. No fixed group size or guaranteed departure is implied.

What does the price depend on?

Your travel dates, party size, room requirements, hotel choices and confirmed services determine the quote. Pricing is on request. We do not present historical client costs as current rates.

When should we contact you?

Contact us at least two months before departure. Six to eight months gives more choice for accommodation and popular experiences. We arrange complete packages of at least seven nights rather than individual services.

Are museums, cruises and special visits guaranteed?

Tickets and seasonal services depend on availability. We confirm the chosen visits and transport before booking, and agree alternatives when a service does not operate on your dates.

Where do we meet our guides and drivers?

Meeting points are your hotel lobby, the arrival terminal, station or a central location specified in your final travel documents. Exact meeting details follow the confirmed arrangements.
