DAY 1 - May 27, 2023 Arrive London
Your European train adventure begin here in the famous city of London. Tonight we'll get to know each other over a three course dinner in London's premier entertainment district, the West End. Cheers! Stay: Ibis Styles Gloucester Road (or similar) Meal(s): Dinner DAY 2 - May 28, 2023 London
We'll get started early this morning on our London adventures with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER™ experience - a not-for-profit tour of iconic Covent Garden and London's West End, hosted by the men and women who once lived on the streets of London. They know this grand old capital better than anyone, and will show you the secrets of London's historic hidden alleys not usually seen by tourists. Then you have a free day to explore this city your way - head to Southbank to check out the London Eye, the Thames, views of Big Ben and the famous skyline, browse the stalls at Portobello Road or Camden Stables Market, stroll through Hyde Park or Hampstead Heath, promenade on Primrose Hill, or explore some of the world famous exhibits at the V&A and Natural History Museum. Early this evening you have the option to join an East End food walking tour around Brick Lane, tasting British, European and international street food from pie & mash to Jewish-style filled bagels and the UK's number one favorite dish, curry. Stay: Ibis Styles Gloucester Road (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast DAY 3 - May 29, 2023 London to Paris
Say ta-ra to the Thames after your buffet breakfast. It's time to hop on the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to Paris today. An iconic train journey later, and we're in Paris. We'll waste get no time getting acquainted with the city's 'ooh la la' worthy sites with a free afternoon to see the icons and maybe check out one of Paris's coolest neighborhoods, Montmartre or Le Marais, close to our hotel. You can even take an optional E-Scooter tour and whizz between the city's most quintessential sites on two wheels. Stay: Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Château Landon (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast DAY 4 - May 30, 2023 Paris
We'll start the next morning with an optional patisserie walking tour, winding our way around the cutest cafes in Paris while enjoying an array of delicate flaky creations. Afterwards, we'll have all day to explore. Want to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre? Aching to get a snap of the Arc de Triomphe? The city is yours to uncover. How does a picnic in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower sound? As evening draws in, our hearts will be stolen by the city of love, and that's before we get an option to end on a high, watching dancers, acrobats and singers whizz by at an authentic Parisian cabaret show - with an included dinner, of course. Can you can can? Stay: Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Château Landon (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast DAY 5 - May 31, 2023 Au Revoir Paris
Paris it's been an affair to remember, but this morning we're saying farewell to our Contiki family and our European adventure. We'll stay in touch, and we'll no doubt be back soon enough. Meal(s): Breakfast |
