2-Week England and France Tour Packages
Imagine how England's history and France's style work together. Visit Bath, Oxford, or the Cotswolds villages, or go to London's museums and neighborhoods. Cross the Channel, head to Paris for the Eiffel Tower, and Louvre. Venture to Normandy's D-Day beaches, Loire Valley châteaux, and Provence's lavender and villages. The contrast between English and French cultures makes this combination beautifully interesting.

What people love about 2-week England and France tours
- From Italy to France with London
The France stops were great! The Italy portion was disproportionately short. London was good. Hotels were, understandably budget, but varied widely in quality. The tour guides were good, caring and prompt. The city guides were helpful but the London guide was superior! Would recommend this tour for the very active as there was longer distance walking as well as steep bus steps! Good tour overall for the family!
- WWI and WWII Battlefields
It was a good tour, saw lots of different sites.
