Paris by Eurostar Day Excursion

After a two hour guided city orientation tour you’ll be free to explore Paris on your own before returning to London in the evening. On the train back to London a supplement for first class is available and includes a three course dinner, wine and coffee.

Tower of London
The Tower of London has been part of English history for nearly 1000 years, and is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. Today it houses the Crown Jewels and is keeper to the Royal Ravens. The ravens are flightless birds due to the fact their wings are clipped and this tradition points to the superstition that the English still believe dating back from time of Charles II that when there are no longer ravens in the Tower both the White Tower and the Commonwealth of England would fall.

Bath
The golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe. The surrounding seven hills, the river Avon running through the heart of the city, and the towers of Bath Abbey combine to create a wonderful impression.

Stonehenge
Nobody knows why the mysterious stone circle of Stonehenge was built, but it is none the less one of the world’s most important and intriguing pre-historic sites and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
