London Paris & Amsterdam (Deluxe) 2009
Day 1 - Depart USA Overnight flight to London.
Days 2 to 4 - London (3 nights) After checking into your hotel the rest of your day is free to start to enjoy the pomp and pageantry of the Royal Horse Guards, the welcoming informality of colourful pubs, the crazy fashions of Chelsea's Kings Road and the bespoke tailors of Savile Row. On your first full day in London a half day sightseeing tour will show you Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. The rest of your time in London is at leisure. Perhaps walk in Hyde Park, visit the Natural History Museum or mix with the famous, and infamous, at Madame Tussauds. London is yours to explore — and you certainly may want to attend one of London's top stage productions in the West End. Your Trafalgar representative will be available to help you with organising any excursions during your stay, whether in London or to the countryside.
Day 5 to 7 - Paris (3 nights) We take the Channel ferry from Dover to Calais and drive across the First World War Battlefields, pausing to stop and view the recently restored Vimy Ridge memorial, en route to Paris. On our first morning, we include a sightseeing tour which features the ascent of the Eiffel Tower to the second level, views of Notre Dame Cathedral, a drive along the Champs Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe plus a visit to the Fragonard Perfumery and Museum. You have carte blanche to make the best of the City of Light. Museums abound — try the Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay. Shop in elegant stores and boutiques for next year's fashions. Or explore the wide boulevards crowded with pavement cafés, and perhaps visit the gracious Palace of Versailles. During your stay sample the legendary nightlife and be sure to try a Parisian cabaret spectacular. Or maybe dine out in Bohemian Montmartre or one of the many bistros of the Left Bank's Latin Quarter.
Day 8 to 9 - Paris - Amsterdam (2 nights) This morning we leave Paris by train and travel via the Belgian capital, Brussels, to the friendly Dutch city of Amsterdam. Our sightseeing tour the first morning includes a canal cruise. Next we're off on a countryside excursion to the village of Volendam, where we visit a clog-maker, a cheese farm and stop for a photo at a typical windmill. Later, back in Amsterdam, we will visit a diamond-polishing factory. Then there's time at leisure perhaps to discover Amsterdam's famous after-dark scene.
Day 10 - Amsterdam - USA It's time to say goodbye as it is time to return home. There are transfers available to the airport.
