Amazing Christmas vacation
Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
My daughter and I enjoyed our London/Paris trip. We traveled during the Christmas holiday which changed some of the planned activities due to closures and low attendance. However, we enjoyed the London sightseeing tour and the London Dungeon, plus we went and saw a musical "Billy Elliot", which we loved. Loved the cathedrals and the london eye (amazing at night)! Had an amazing Christmas tour in Candenbury. Paris was my daughters (who is 16) favorite. She loved the Louvre and the overall experience in Paris. Really enjoyed the Dinner and Cruise of City Lights. The eiffle tour is amazing to see. Especially at night.

London and Paris City Stay - Planner's Favorite
Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
I'm a planner and I always have a back up plan. I researched what I wanted to see, when it was open, admission fees, and transportation. I had been to London and Paris before and felt comfortable navigating my way through both cities. I would not recomment a city stay for a first time traveler. A city stay is the best type of trip for a person who likes to experience and explore a city at their own pace. Take a guided tour for your initial visit and then book a city stay and enjoy the adventure of exploring on your own!

Nice slice of London and Paris
This is a cost effective trip that almost gives you enough time to see many of the highlights. I would recommend leaving for the trip a few days early and/or returning a few days later. There are so many things to see in England and as well in Paris (many art museums). Take all of the optional excursions and carefully plan in advance what you will do in your free time. Be careful in Paris - both the streets and subways are full of pickpockets.

london to paris 10-8-11 to 10-16-11
gino is a fantastic tour director. london & paris are glorious cities. optionals: london city tour, bath & sronehenge & paris dinner & seine cruise---all superb. My problem is your hotel choices. hotel in london---very nice--great, helpful staff---but very far from london itself. hotel choice in paris---AWFUL!! the hotel smelled of disinfectant--had no charm & the staff was indifferent & rude. the rooms were very tiny & hot. to sleep --the window had to be opened. i was in the back of the hotel. in the alley below---about 15 men were standing around. they were there from 6 AM to 3-4 AM every day their constant chatter and yelling made sleeping almost impossible. i received several phone calls from a friend---and only got one phone message.
the only way i got the message is that i went to the front desk to ask them to get me an outside line. the clerk opened a drawer & threw the message at me. this was at 5 PM. the call had been made in the AM and sat in the drawer all day. instead of a call from a friend--what is there had been an emergency? hotel had no charm the neighbr hood had no ambience. i feel i should get a refund because the hotel was so horrible. aside from the very disappointing hotel in paris---the trip was great. change the paris hotel--and it will be perfect

London & Paris Tour
It was my first time in London and Paris. The trip was very comforting and the people I met were great. TheTour Director was great and funny and the other travelers who had been to London and Paris before extended themselves to tell us about events and sights to see. It was a wonderful experience for me. I would do it again in a heart beat.
Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Want to go back!
The day we arrived in London, our tour guide took us for a walking tour to get aquainted with the area. He was marvelous, chock full of information on buildings, architecture and history. On our arrival in Paris, he led our group on another walking tour, but this time, also taking us on the metro so we'd know how to get around. It was a blast and so helpful. We saw SO MUCH in 7 days, it was unforgettable. A+++++.

Wonderful trip
This was my first group tour and it exceeded my expections. Friendly fellow travelers, well-informed and compent tour director and guides all contributed towards a pleasant and enjoyable trip. I'll go again with Go Ahead Tours - perhaps longer than 9 days. Thank you!

London and Paris City Tour
Great trip and plenty of sights to see. Especially enjoyed Stonhenge and Bath optional trip and also Windsor Castle in London. In Paris, the highlight was Versies and the Dinner and trip on the river. A side trip to include the Eifel Tour would certainly have been accepted by me and my husband

Different
The tour was quite good but I was not expecting so much "on your own" time and self guiding. I was frustrated at times not knowing where to go or how to get there. It wasn't the tour guides fault, I just wasn't aware that we'd be on our own so much. I'll look into that situation better next time

London & Paris
This is a tour for independent travelers. They get you there, give you a guide (to ask for information), and let you make your own way. We arrived early in the morning and could not check into the London hotel until 2pm. We had to go walk around the city, still dirty and tired from the overnight flight until 2. But during that time, we saw a lot. The London hotel was excellent and we could see the London Eye from our window. We could also walk to all the interesting sites from out hotel. The Paris hotel was not located in the nicest part of the city. We were next to the tube, but it looked like we were in the "hood". You had to take public transportation to get anywhere. The excursions were OK, but nothing really blew me away except Versailles. I took the 9 day Venice, Florence, and Rome tour in 2009 and it was way better. Luckily, our tour guide Tim was great. He was always available to show us how to get places. Overall, it was a good trip. London was my favorite city.

Less than what I expected
We arrived in London and had to wait for a shuttle to get to the hotel, due to confusion we had to walk up and downstairs at the airport as they couldn't locate the shuttle. Our coordinator was very nice. However, she was not a tour guide. Our first day trips in each country were honored all others that we asked for were cancelled. When we left our fights were not confirmed and had been cancelled. British Airlines moved us to other airlines where we were treated as second class because we had not purchased our original tickets through them. We left the hotel at 7:00 am and did not arrive in Houston till 11:36. I think I would book on my own next time. We ended up touring London and Paris for the most part on our own.

London and Paris
Our London and Paris tour along with our tour guide was great. He made the tour very interesting because he was very informative. We enjoyed the London Eye. It didn't make you feel afraid even if you fear heights.
The one must in London is the play "Blood Brothers" and the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Do not leave London before seeing it.

Wonderful Mother, Daughter Getaway
We had a wonderful time during this leisurely tour and were able to spend alot of alone time, seeing the sites, shopping and dining together. Great time to reconnect. We so enjoyed our time. Eric our tour guide was the best and had many suggestions for us. He had a great sense of humor and was always available to help. We are already thinking of getting a large group (girls only) together for next summer. I have already given Go Ahead Tours to 3 different people. Thanks for the memories...

London to Paris via the Eurostar
London and Paris were both very good, however, we basically make our own arrangements and the tour director served only as a source of information for the most part.

I wish we had more time in both Paris and London, but the guide was great and we got a taste of both cities. We extended our stay in London, and that was just enough time to get a good sense of what the city is like and see most of the must see sights. In Paris we just didn’t have the time to see all the things we wanted to see. I had a good time, but I would take either the Paris or London city stay if I had it to do over. However, I had a good time, so that’s what counts isn’t it.
