Review of the Paris day trip from London by Eurostar, coach, and Seine cruise, with practical advice on timing, value, free time, and guides.

“Anna was a great guide. The information she provided was mixed with her sense of humor. A great bus ride led to an amazing river cruise. Lots of pic opportunities in the cruise. We were not interested in the tower lunch so we explored a little more of Paris and found our own lunch spot. Then to the Louvre- amazing. Thanks again to Anna for a great trip.”

The train ride was wonderful and the hotel very nice with tons of Beatle history in the hotel. The Beatle museum was more then what we can imagine. And the hotel is just around the corner from the Cavern Club. Loved the Yellow Submarine tour.”
