What's included with the London & Paris Tour
for $1,995

Perhaps it is easier to say what is NOT included in this package so you you can accurately estimate your costs and compare.  Airfare is the biggest non-included cost.  For the most part, everything you need after arrival except for 3 lunches and 4 dinners is included. There are no hidden "optional" things you need to really experience these two great cities. This and the small group size is what makes our tours such a great value.

     O.K.. so here is exactly what is included.....
