Review of the Paris day trip from London by Eurostar, with a guided city tour, Seine cruise, free time, practical tips, and value advice.
“The day trip to Paris was well worth it. Anna the guide made sure we got the most out of it. We saw so much of Paris and even had down time to stop and enjoy a sidewalk cafe overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Anna made sure we had everything we needed, communicated well and made the day enjoyable. Seems like a lot to do in one day but definitely worth it.”

I started by visiting La Tour Eiffel and bought a ticket on Batobus to visit the other very interesting sites through La Seine river. I visited Notre Dame, Le grand Palais, Champ Elysée, L' Arc de Triomphe and many other places. Paris is really very impressive with the many architectural buildings. Very nice day!”
