London Eye will give you some perspective before you dive into the pubs or set your watch to Big Ben. Tour Buckingham Palace, wander
past the Parliament Building, or enjoy afternoon tea with the friendly locals. In Paris, pick up a baguette from a neighborhood
boulangerie and head to Luxembourg Gardens for a picnic. Take the requisite picture of the Eiffel Tower before departing for the
magnetic Eternal City. Tour Rome's Colosseum, where gladiators once fought for glory, or visit the Vatican City to marvel at the
breathtaking artwork of Michelangelo and Botticelli inside the Sistine Chapel. The opportunities are endless, and they're calling your
name!

DAY 1: Arrive in London
Arrive in London and collect your bags. When you exit customs, your driver will be waiting
to escort you to your hotel. Your Oyster Card has already been activated, so you're free to start exploring on the Tube as soon as you're
ready! This is the perfect day to ease into sightseeing with a trip to the London Eye.
LONDON OYSTER CARD
The Visitor Oyster Card is an electronic card that allows travelers to store credit for pay-as-you-go travel on transport for London
services. The card automatically calculates the cheapest fare possible and stops deducting credit when a daily amount is reached. Your £20
card can be topped-up with additional credit at Tube stations, Oyster Ticket Stops and London Travel Information Centres. Your Oyster card
has been pre-activated so you can start using it as soon as you arrive in London.
LONDON EYE FAST-TRACK
At 440 feet high, the London Eye is the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the
capital and its famous landmarks. The gradual rotation in one of the 32 high-tech glass capsules takes approximately 30 minutes and gives
you an ever-changing perspective of London. A trip to the top will lift you high enough to see up to 25 miles on a clear day. Fast-track
tickets for the London Eye allow you to bypass part of the queue and get your tickets just 15 minutes before your experience.
DAY 2:
Eat a good breakfast so you'll have plenty of energy on your day-long tour of the Cotswolds. When you return, grab dinner and a pint at
one of London's lively pubs. Make sure you get lots of sleep so you can enjoy the adventures that await you tomorrow!
LUNCH IN THE COTSWOLDS
The Cotswolds is forever England, seemingly unchanged with the passage of time. Undulating hills, yellow limestone buildings, and tea
shops perched along sparkling streams are just some of what attract visitors to this extraordinary area. Your full day tour begins in
Burford, where the magnificent High Street holds every variety of Cotswold stone. Next you'll visit Bibury, described as the prettiest
village in England. Lunch beckons, and what better way to satisfy your hunger than with a fabulous two-course lunch in the Swan Hotel?
This 17th-century coaching inn restaurant boasts a spectacular oak-beamed ceiling, a stone fireplace bearing witches marks, and fabulous
traditional cuisine. After lunch, you'll take a leisurely tour of Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water, followed by a visit to the village of
Stow-on-the-Wold.

Wake up early and head to Victoria Coach Station London tour and afternoon tea. When you
return, take an evening stroll through Hyde Park and reflect back on your time in this remarkable city.

Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace (subject to availability). After lunch (not included), you'll tour the Tower of London and see
the Crown Jewels and White Tower. Next you'll enjoy a boat cruise on the River Thames before heading to Harrods for afternoon tea. You'll

marvel is one of the most emblematic and recognizable communes in the world. For lunch you'll be treated to a famous Mont Saint Michel
omelet in a restaurant overlooking the island. Afterwards, head out for a guided tour of the Abbey. Built on a rocky islet, it was a great
cultural center and a pilgrimage destination in the Middle Ages. Wander through the gothic buildings, notably the cloister and the monks'
refectory, that were built in succession over the centuries. You'll have some free time to explore the steep paths and gaze out upon the
bay before returning to Paris.

Start off your morning with an informative guided walking tour of the Colosseum, Roman
Forum, and Palatine Hill. You'll have time for a quick lunch (so you can try a piece of that famous pizza bianca you've been seeing in
