Visit two of the continent’s most iconic cities, London and Paris, as you travel Europe the way it was meant to be traversed on a AAA Vacations tour. Both are distinct in history, grandeur and abundance of amazing sites.

You could even attend a live theatrical performance at the Globe Theatre or on the West End. After your days in London, travel Europe in style aboard the Eurostar high-speed train to Paris.
The city of Paris will enchant you, bursting with life, elegant and yet quaint. Enjoy a guided city tour taking in the timeless Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Èlysées, to the impressive Notre Dame Cathedral. A cruise along the River Seine will give you a new perspective of this incredible city. Do all of this with the helping hand of your dedicated city ambassadors, who will open the door to every step of your European journey.
