Highlights
- Built for the millennium and 443' tall, the London Eye stands as a new symbol of London along the Thames River. Reminiscent of a large Ferris Wheel with pods for passengers, the London Eye completes a full rotation in a leisurely 30 minutes. Encased in glass for 360degree views, the Eye offers standing guests a chance to see up and above London's skyline.
- Covent Garden is a bustling market square filled with captivating shops, delicious restaurants, and meandering locals. Stroll along outside and perhaps you’ll glimpse a street performing group or head inside where rows of stalls sell their food and crafts.
- Since 1994, the Eurostar Train has been connecting London and Paris in 2.25 hours. Starting at St Pancras Station in London, the high-speed train comfortably takes you through the countryside of England, under the English Channel, and ends its journey at Gare Du Nord in Paris.
- In Paris, you have the choice between 2 activities. Your first choice is to gain an overview of the French capital during a panoramic bus tour. With your local guide, take in the most iconic sights of Paris such as the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Place de la Concorde. Or, join a local expert on a walking tour. Travel like a Parisian as you hop on Le Métro bound for the hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre and its iconic Sacré-Cœur basilica. Explore the winding streets, home to classical painters and cultural provocateurs and learn the history of this artistic village in the heart of Paris. Paris Panoramic City Tour - NEO Day 5 Activity Level: 2 This is a panoramic tour of Paris, covering the main sights. Montmartre by Metro Walking Tour - NEO Day 5 Activity Level: 3 The guests will visit Montmartre by metro, so they should be able to walk up and down stairs. Also, Montmartre is a hilly district.
- Standing at 164' tall and at the intersection of the Champs Elysee is the Arc de Triomphe. Built for the successful return of Napoleon, yet finished after his defeat, the monument stands at the star-shaped cross point in the heart of Paris along what is referred to as the Meridian Line cutting through the city. Today it is the featured icon and terminus point for Le Tour de France and the Bastille Day celebrations for France's independence.
- Built in 1889 as part of the World's Fair by the architecture team of Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris today. Located on the first level is 58 Tour Eiffel, a gourmet restaurant with stunning panoramic views of Paris. Since food is another big part of Parisian culture, the meal is several courses, beautifully displayed and accompanied with wine, coffee and tea.
- Separating Paris into the Left and Right Banks is the River Seine. One of the best ways to see Paris is by water. Floating along as the sun sets in a glass-roofed boat, you watch the city come to life. Guided narration and themed music allow you to soak in the atmosphere of Paris as you cruise past Notre Dame, the Musee D'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.
