About this activity
Start off your day at the St Pancras International station in London, where you will be met by a representative and board the Eurostar train. Arrive at the Gare du Nord station in Paris and meet your expert guide for a sightseeing coach tour of this beautiful city.

See the lively Champs-Elysées, lined with luxury boutiques and restaurants, and admire the iconic Arc de Triomphe. Pass the famed Paris Opera house and continue to Trocadero, an area where just across the Seine River lies the majestic Eiffel Tower.

Climb the Eiffel Tower and admire unforgettable sweeping views of Paris from the second floor. Take advantage of amazing photo opportunities and enjoy a once-in-a-life-time lunch at the on-site restaurant (not included) while admiring at one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Or, you can choose to grab a quick bite from a street vendor or café when you come down. Then, return to your coach for a 1-hour drive to the amazing Palace of Versailles.

On arrival, head inside and set off on an audio-guided tour of the amazing palace. Visit the Great Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the Queen’s Apartments. After your tour, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the magnificent Gardens of Versailles. Admire ornate fountains, grand statues and lush greenery as you navigate the garden’s winding paths.

Your guide will then take you back to the Gare du Nord station in Paris for your return train journey to London in the evening.
