Day 11: Welcome to Paris!
And so to Paris! This Europe vacation includes an internal flight from Italy to France, as well as airport transfers, meaning you don't have to worry about any of the travel details when you book this Italy and Paris tour. On arrival at your centrally located Paris hotel, you will have plenty of time to settle in before our private guide greets you with a warm Parisian welcome and takes you on a four-hour tour of the main attractions. As a part of the experience, you will see outstanding monuments, such as Opera Garnier, the 17th-century Place Vendôme and the Palais Royal, before following the Seine River to the Ile de La Cite, where you will make your first stop to see the splendid Notre Dame Cathedral. The tour then continues with the Orsay Museum, Concorde Square (the largest square in Europe where the French Revolution took the life of the King and the Queen), the Champs Elysées (the most famous avenue in the world), the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, the Invalides and the Eiffel Tower (exterior only), where you will stop for photos as an iconic finale to your Paris day tour.
Day 12: Tour of Versailles
Today, you will visit the famous Palace of Versailles on a small group tour that will leave you with precious memories of your Italy and Paris tour. Inside this iconic place, you will have the chance to see Louis XIV's suite, the much-photographed Hall of Mirrors, and the apartment of the Dauphin and Dauphine. Outside, you can immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of the expansive gardens and watch the water dancing in the impressive fountains.
Day 13: VIP Louvre tour with dinner at The 58 Eiffel Tower
As a special finale to your Italy and Paris tour, we will arrange a dedicated tour of the Musée du Louvre, perhaps the most famous art museum in the world. For first-time visitors, this museum can be overwhelming, with its maze of galleries and thousands of artistic works. So, we take the stress out of navigating the museum with this three-hour private tour. As a part of your experience, your guide will show you the most impressive pieces of art for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience (note that the entry fee is not included and should be paid directly to the museum).
In the evening of your final day in Paris, we will treat you to an unforgettable night that combines two classic Parisian experiences: exquisite French food and panoramic views from the Eiffel Tower. We will reserve a table for you at the acclaimed The 58 Eiffel Tower restaurant, allowing you to savor a gourmet, four-course meal of classic French cuisine served with your choice of red or white wine, all while taking in spectacular views of the City of Lights.
Day 14: And so your dream Italy and Paris tour reaches its end
The morning sees you leaving France on your flight from Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport back home. The sights, sounds, tastes and experiences of the past weeks will no doubt flood over you as you enjoy the luxury of a private transfer to the airport, leading you to smile in remembrance of times past and to plan for your inevitable return visit!
