Grand Paris and London

Two-capital rail trip from Paris to London via Eurostar

Illustration of Grand Paris and London

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night rail vacation linking Paris and London, spending three nights in each city and connecting them with a Eurostar train from Gare du Nord. Day 2 in Paris opens with a skip-the-line tour to the top of the Eiffel Tower and a scenic Seine cruise, while day 3 adds the Louvre Museum and free time to explore the Marais flea markets. On day 4, the Eurostar carries you to London, where day 5 is a full-day guided tour taking in St. Paul's Cathedral, the Changing of the Guard, the Tower of London, and the London Eye. Day 6 is left flexible with an included hop-on, hop-off bus pass for wandering Covent Garden, Camden, or the South Bank at your own pace. The trip suits travelers who want a structured introduction to both cities' landmark sights with some room to explore independently.

  • The included Louvre Museum tickets cannot be used on Tuesdays, since the museum is closed that day.
  • The evidence available to us does not list current departure dates for this trip; confirm scheduling directly with Railbookers before booking.
