A great trip the Paris was had.
We had a full day trip to Paris from London planned. Our guide Anna met us on our Eurostar train and was with us through the whole day. The river cruise had their own guide on broad telling us about the spots as we went by even in a light rain it was very nice. Our stop at the Eiffel Tower was the show stopper though. The views are breathtaking and we had lunch right in the tower. This was our best meal of our trip so far. after lunch we had an hour and a half to explore which of course is not enough but we ventured around this vast area and saw sites and stopped at a street vendor and had crepes ( I trip to Paris without crepes is incomplete). We again met Anna whom was the glue to the whole day and boarded our very comfortable bus for our trip back to the train station. After seeing all of the main attractions through the day (the Arch de Truimph, Notre Dame, the many bridges and learned about the history of the bridges and each of the main attraction our day ended back at our meeting point in London St. Pancras Train station. I have to say Anna through the whole of the trip was a true gem. She helped keep everyone prepare for everything we did even directing us on the laws about what you can and can’t bring back to England. It was very easy because of her experience to get through the customs stop of both countries before boarding our train home which she accompanied us on so it was a complete success with no snags because of her throughout the day. So if your looking to see the sights of Paris in a day see Anna, your relaxed, entertained and most of all safe through the whole day. This is a great extension to any trip to England.
