What people love about England And France Tours
- Exploring Dublin, United Kingdom and Paris
We loved this tour. It was planned out very well. We did have early mornings and lots of bus rides but with the time change coming from the US, we were up and ready to go anyway! Every hotel was good- modest, clean, comfortable and in great locations. Breakfasts were not fancy, but exactly what we needed and made great starts to the day. On the one day in Dublin that we left the hotel too early for breakfast, they sent us off with bagged meals. Our flight was cancelled coming into Dublin, so we arrived a day late. The tour took care of checking us in to the hotel so we weren’t a no show and even though I called, the time difference made it difficult to reach anyone. I contacted Europamundo on WhatsApp and communication was much easier and everything was taken care of. We were able to meet up with the tour on day 2 and it wasn’t a problem at all. Diego was our guide in Dublin and got us to London. Miguel was in London and Begonia got us to France and in Paris. The local guides were Ivan in Dublin and William in Paris. They were all wonderful! The city tours by bus were fantastic. We got to see everything quickly and had good views on the talk buses. The guides were entertaining and had fun stories and anecdotes. Everything was presented in both Spanish and English and we never felt left out, not being fluent in Spanish. There were always timely stops and suggestions on what to do during free times. In Dublin, we signed up to tour St Patrick’s Cathedral, but didn’t get to go due to lack of interest. Our payment was refunded and it was no problem. We had purchased tickets to the Guinness Storehouse and went there on our free evening. It was easy to change the ticket time around our schedule and we took a Free Now taxi (like Uber) to get there but walked back to our hotel which was very close to the heart of Dublin. We then took a 3.5 hr ferry to wales. Caernarfon was quaint and the castle is very cool to see. It was a fun lunch stop that we would not have otherwise seen. We then went to Liverpool which I loved. The Beatles museum was worthwhile and the hotel is again in a great location. We spent the evening walking around Royal Albert Dock which is beautiful with many fun restaurants and views. We walked back to our hotel through the Liverpool ONE area. The next day we traveled through the UK, stopping at Stratford upon Avon and Oxford before reaching London. Both were nice stops, fun places to see and we had about 1-2 hrs to check them out. Our hotel in London was outside of the city, in Wembley Park but literally steps away from the metropolitan station and right next to Wembley Stadium which was really fun to see and walk around. On our free day, I scheduled a Thames River cruise and the London Eye- both were great and I recommend getting tickets in advance. We rode the metro there and back and had no problems navigating our way. I highly recommend the excursion to Windsor. Well worth it! We toured the Castle (amazing!!) and the town is delightful! Check out Creams for the most delicious ice cream ever! After London, we went to Canterbury, another adorable town with fun shopping. Then we headed to Dover (white cliffs!) to board a ferry to France. It sounds like when weather is good they take the ferry and when bad, they take the Chunnel. In France we drove towards Paris. We stopped in Amiens to see the amazing cathedral. Food options were limited as we didn’t have much time and it was late in the day. We did find a pizza place (Mosaique Pizza) that offered take away and was delicious. All the food in France was superb! The hotel in Paris was again outside of the city center but very accessible with the metropolitan. I had pre purchased tickets to the Palace of Versailles and the Lourve. These went partially to waste as our schedule changed and they do not allow time changes for the tickets. I was, however able to just purchase palace tickets with our updated entrance time and use the previous tickets to enter the gardens. Versailles is incredible. Lots of walking and so much to see. You could spend days there. For the Lourve, I got tickets ahead of time as I was fearful of missing out. I had no need to worry. They offered the guided tour for 50 euros each (usual tickets are 18ish) but the tour is completely worth it! The Paris guide William lead the tour and he is THE BEST! He is hilarious and super knowledgeable. He showed us the highlights with loads of good info and stories and we left the Lourve knowing we could go back and spend days there and still never see it all, but didn’t feel like we missed anything either. The Eiffel Tower was also a highlight. I would have lived to go back to it at night but by the end of our trip and after walking all day at Versailles and The Lourve, we were exhausted! We will definitely be back! This is a wonderful tour that packs A LOT in to every day! It’s perfect for hitting all of the top tourist spots and is a great introduction to these wonderful locations!

We expected guides but the truth is that the company gets the bus tickets for you. It is fine if they say so in advance. Otherwuse is disappointing. Help online is good.

Confusing transfer to the Eurostar train both leaving London and getting to bus in Paris.

Paris and London come together nicely in several budget-friendly tours that really deliver. Our most popular 7-day route connects both capitals and includes quick access to the Eiffel Tower's top level plus guided walks through the old quarters. There's also a solid 5-day option focused on the main sites, with river cruises on both the Thames and Seine - the Seine one includes dinner which is a nice touch. Our travelers consistently mention how these tours hit all the key spots while leaving plenty of time to wander on your own. For those with a bit more time, the 10-day version adds Amsterdam and Bruges into the mix. The included Eurostar tickets between cities and well-placed hotels make independent exploration really straightforward, which helps keep costs down.
The river cruise options really shine for luxury travelers, especially those combining Seine voyages with extended London stays. There's this excellent 14-day trip starting in Paris that gets you into Château de La Roche Guyon after hours for private concerts - pretty special. Another high-end option starts with VIP access to the Chelsea Flower Show before heading off on a Seine cruise through Normandy. The suite cabins come with butler service and room-service breakfast made just how you like it. Our clients love the small group sizes for tours and those extra special moments - like private painting sessions in Giverny and early morning visits to Monet's gardens before everyone else shows up.

A popular 7-day option connects London and Paris at whatever pace works for you, with private drivers handling airport transfers and local experts leading your city tours. The 10-day art-focused journey is particularly good - you'll explore the Louvre with a real art historian and discover smaller galleries tucked away in London's Mayfair. Our clients really appreciate being able to adjust their daily schedule and dive deep into what interests them most, whether that's exploring the Tower of London's medieval past or checking out contemporary art in Paris's Marais district.

The week-long tours between London and Paris have really hit their stride with a smart mix of must-see spots and local discoveries. You'll start in London where three full days let you properly explore - there's guided walks through Westminster, time inside St Paul's Cathedral and that classic moment watching the Guard change at Buckingham Palace. Our travelers tell us they love having enough time to wander through places like Covent Garden after seeing the big sites. Then it's onto Paris via Eurostar, where we've arranged evening Seine cruises and quick access to skip those long Eiffel Tower queues. The schedule works well because it mixes guided tours with free afternoons, so you can find your own favorite spots in the Latin Quarter or do some shopping along the Champs-Élysées.

Ten-day tours dig deeper into both countries with routes that go beyond just London and Paris. Some really interesting ones line up with the Chelsea Flower Show in London before heading to Amsterdam's canals and the medieval streets of Bruges. Garden fans and history lovers particularly enjoy these since you get to see Monet's gardens in Giverny and also explore Loire Valley châteaux. What makes these special is how you really get into local life - from Belgian beer tastings to private concerts in French castles. Our guests often mention how much they learn from the local guides who know all the stories behind each place's character and past.

Two-week tours offer the fullest experience, with time to really understand both countries. The 80th Anniversary D-Day routes are particularly meaningful, connecting Normandy's beaches with Churchill's War Rooms and also Bletchley Park in England. Some tours cruise the Seine, stopping in medieval spots like Les Andelys and Honfleur while giving you proper time in Paris and London. Having two weeks means you can do special things like private château visits in the evening, cooking classes in Paris and detailed walking tours through London's historic areas. Our travelers say they love being able to explore less visited places like Rouen's old quarter or London's Marais while still getting to all the famous landmarks.

Solo travelers tell us they love the route through Lille and Bruges between London and Paris. It's got this perfect mix of guided activities and time to wander. Lille tends to surprise people with its excellent shopping and local culture, plus you can't beat those Belgian waffles in Bruges - our travelers keep coming back just for those! The Christmas tours adding Amsterdam are particularly popular; you'll spend the festive season with a friendly group and get to experience those cozy holiday markets. Whether you're taking a canal cruise or exploring hidden neighborhoods, there's always someone to share the experience with.
Couples find plenty of romantic moments on our England-France tours. The Explorer package includes a lovely Seine River cruise and you can add a West End show in London if you'd like. Many of our pairs love the dinner at the Eiffel Tower followed by an evening boat ride - Paris just glows at night. The Loire Valley route is particularly special, taking you through château country with wine tastings and nights in historical towns. We handle all the travel details while leaving plenty of time for those spontaneous moments, like finding a quiet spot in London's Royal Parks or wandering hand-in-hand through Montmartre.
Young travelers going between these countries tend to pick our more active routes. Some tours include nights out in London's Soho and Paris's lively Pigalle area. You can even combine city visits with actual adventures like hiking the Pyrenees in Andorra or cycling Amsterdam's canal paths. The included dinners and evening gatherings make it easy to meet other travelers, and our guides know just where to find those perfect local spots - whether it's craft beer in Bruges or wine bars tucked away in Paris's Latin Quarter.
Our older travelers particularly enjoy the thoughtfully planned cross-channel tours. The combination of Paris, Normandy and London works really well, with comfortable travel and well-timed stops along the way. Many appreciate visiting the WWI Somme battlefields, Monet's beautiful Giverny gardens and several historic abbeys. We keep the pace manageable while making sure you don't miss any cultural highlights. The hotels are centrally located, though it's worth asking about bathroom setups if that's important to you. Our guides get lots of praise for their historical knowledge and also their attention to everyone's comfort throughout the journey.
Our London & Paris family tours really hit the mark, especially the 9-day Explorer package that takes you through Stonehenge and the Roman Baths. Kids and parents both get excited about these ancient sites. A recent family told us how their teenage daughter had a blast figuring out London's Tube and Paris's Metro - turning it into her own little navigation game. The London Eye gives everyone amazing views, while Windsor Castle and Notre Dame add that perfect historical touch. We've built in enough free time for families to shop, explore and bond together, with guided portions to help everyone understand the rich stories behind these remarkable places.

Fall tours really lean into culture and history with several multi-city options connecting London, Paris and beyond.

Our clients consistently tell us how much they enjoy mixing city exploration with countryside visits - you get those autumn colors around Canterbury Cathedral and along the Seine Valley.

What's the best way to get between London and Paris?
You can hop on the Eurostar train and be there in just over 2 hours and 15 minutes which is pretty amazing when you think about it. The train takes you right through the Channel Tunnel and drops you off in the city centers which travelers find way more convenient than dealing with airports. Our 7 Days in Paris and London tour uses this route and people love how quick and easy it is.
What local cultural experiences can I join in England and France?
In England afternoon tea is this wonderful tradition happening between 3 and 5 where you get to enjoy different teas lovely finger sandwiches and these amazing scones with clotted cream and jam plus some really nice pastries. Over in France you can dive into their food culture by taking a cooking class especially in Paris or Lyon where you'll learn to make classic French dishes with fresh local ingredients. Our Grand France with 3 nights in London WWII Remembrance & History Cruise takes you through both experiences.
What are some hidden gems for traveling around England and France?
The Cotswolds in England is this gorgeous area with rolling hills and these picture-perfect villages that feel worlds away from the busy cities you can explore by car or join small group tours for a more intimate experience. Our Britain Sampler with Paris to Normandy 2025 tour includes this gem. In France the Alsace region is just incredible with these charming villages featuring half-timbered houses amazing Riesling vineyards and this unique mix of French and German culture. People love these routes because they're beautiful authentic and let you take things slower.
What local foods should I try and where can I find them?
You've got to try a proper Sunday Roast in England with roasted meat Yorkshire pudding vegetables and gravy you'll find it in pubs and restaurants everywhere. In France there's this incredible dish called Coq au Vin which is chicken cooked in red wine with mushrooms bacon and onions available in traditional restaurants across the country. On our London to Barcelona tour everyone raves about the fish and chips they try in London.
How do I get around in England and France?
London's got the Tube which runs from early morning till late night and gets you pretty much anywhere you need to go in the city. In France the TGV high-speed trains connect all the major cities with frequent departures and really comfortable rides. If you're heading to places like the Loire Valley having a car gives you loads of freedom while coach tours are great because you get transport plus local knowledge from experienced drivers. Our European Affair and Chelsea Flower Show tour uses both the Tube and TGV which works really well.
