Grand London and Paris

Two-capital rail trip: London to Paris via Eurostar

Illustration of Grand London and Paris

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night rail vacation linking London and Paris, spending three nights in each city and connecting them with a Eurostar train in Standard Premier class. Day 2 in London is built around a guided small-group food tour through markets and eateries, while day 3 leaves the London Eye and shopping around Harrods and the Kings Road to your own pace. On day 4, the Eurostar departs from St Pancras station for Paris, where day 5 brings a skip-the-line tour to the top of the Eiffel Tower and a Seine river cruise. Day 6 continues with a visit to the Louvre Museum to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, alongside a hop-on, hop-off pass for exploring the boulevards independently. The trip suits travelers who want a mix of guided food and sightseeing experiences with time to explore two capital cities on their own.
