Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers over a welcome dinner in London. Share a meal and get to know the people who will accompany you through England and France.

This hosted gathering offers a relaxed introduction to the tour, with a chance to hear from your Travel Director and exchange first impressions of the British capital.

Explore Bath’s Georgian streets on an orientation of this UNESCO-listed city, and visit the Roman Baths at its historic heart. See the ancient bathing complex and the natural hot spring that gave Bath its name.

Built around waters revered for nearly two millennia, the site reveals how Roman visitors gathered to bathe and worship. Outside, the city’s honey-coloured Georgian architecture reflects Bath’s later life as a fashionable spa town.

Visit Stonehenge and walk around its monumental stone circle on Salisbury Plain. View the standing stones up close enough to appreciate their scale and the precision of their ancient arrangement.

Raised in stages during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, this prehistoric site still prompts questions about ceremony, community and the movement of enormous stones. Its open grassland setting gives the monument a striking sense of isolation.

Join a half-day sightseeing tour of London with a Local Specialist. See Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace as you take in the capital’s best-known royal and civic landmarks.

The tour sets centuries of British history against the streets of a working modern city. Westminster’s Gothic architecture and the ceremonial setting of Buckingham Palace offer contrasting views of London’s enduring institutions.

Explore the historic town of Windsor, set beside the vast royal castle that has been occupied by monarchs for more than 900 years. See the castle’s imposing exterior and the chapel where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married.

Walk through the market town at your own pace and experience the close connection between its streets and the royal residence. Castle admission is not specified as part of this visit.

Share a Be My Guest dinner at a Parisian bistro run by Daniel and his family. Enjoy rustic French cooking in a neighbourhood setting where local diners also gather.

This hosted meal offers a more personal encounter with Paris than a landmark visit: conversation, familiar bistro surroundings and soulful dishes bring the city’s everyday food culture to the table.

Discover Paris with a Local Specialist, viewing the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde and Notre-Dame Cathedral. A walk through the Latin Quarter adds a closer look at the city’s streets and neighbourhood life.

The route brings together grand avenues, monumental squares and the Left Bank’s long association with learning and literature. It is an orientation to Paris from both its celebrated landmarks and its pedestrian-scale quarters.

Explore the Palace of Versailles with a Local Specialist and see the Hall of Mirrors, where chandeliers and mirrored arches reflect the scale of the former royal court. View the palace’s extensive formal gardens.

Louis XIV transformed Versailles into a display of royal power and artistic ambition. Its lavish interiors and carefully ordered grounds reveal how architecture and landscape were used to express the authority of the Sun King.

Join your Travel Director and fellow travellers for dinner in Paris. This hosted meal brings the group together in the French capital for conversation and a shared close to the journey.

It is an opportunity to reflect on the contrasting character of London and Paris, from royal landmarks and ancient sites to neighbourhood streets and French dining culture. The specific restaurant and menu are not stated.

Attend a West End show in London, with the option to join your Travel Director for an evening in the city’s celebrated theatre district. The specific production is not confirmed.

Centred around the theatres near Leicester Square and Covent Garden, the West End is known for its mix of musicals and plays. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Experience a Parisian cabaret performance for an evening of colour, music and stagecraft. The itinerary does not name a venue or specify the show’s programme.

Cabaret has long been part of Paris nightlife, pairing theatrical spectacle with the city’s after-dark atmosphere. This is an optional experience at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Visit Claude Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny, the Normandy village where the Impressionist painter lived and worked. Explore the planted gardens and the setting that became a recurring subject of his art.

Monet shaped the grounds with an artist’s eye for colour, light and changing seasons; the water garden inspired his celebrated water-lily paintings. This optional visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour.
