Hashani –

The day may have been an early start but one that is truly worth it. Once arriving in Paris the guide is easy to pick out and is extremely welcoming. She gave great detail into her descriptions of each place we would see and the bus driver would do his best for us to see everything as well. The boat trip and Eiffel Tower are a must, however nothing can prepare you for the palace of Versailles. It is truly beautiful and makes you wish for another day to explore it further and it's stunning gardens. A well thought out and definite tour to take. Only downside of the tour is your wish for more time :(

We absolutely LOVED our journey on the Eurostar! The comfort level and the service are just lovely and fabulous! The staff is top-notch! When we arrived in Paris, our guide met us and she was so knowledgeable and quite charming! We had a lovely day at Versailles, but of course, our time was so short. The Eiffel Tower was definitely a sight to see, but it's quite sad that you are overwhelmed with paranoia due to the pick-pockets who quite literally swarm round you like sharks, waiting for their opportunity. Their presence put a damper on an otherwise lovely day. Our tour guides were very good, but I would change how the meet-up locations are described, as they were unclear and caused some unneeded stress. For example, when stating that tours meet up at St Pancras in London near the information desk, this is totally untrue. Our tour organizer showed up quite late, and NOT at the information desk, but near the row of cafes that are closest to the Eurostar entry point.

Eurostar Journey to Paris

Your Romantic trip to Paris starts at St Pancras International Station in Kings Cross, where the Golden Tours representative will meet you at PAUL Le Café St. Pancras International (unit 2).

Climb on board the shiny Eurostar, sit down, relax and enjoy the swift 2hr 15min journey through 31 miles of Channel Tunnel, located deep underneath the English Channel Sea.

Once in Paris, you’ll be guided around the city until lunch, after which you’re free to explore the city at your own leisure.

From the moment you step of the train, this tour is full speed ahead. The only thing we really got to see in Paris was the Eiffel Tower; this was great, but I missed a lot of other wonderful parts of Paris. Versailles was amazing, so if you want a day trip to see the beauty and grandeur of the palace, I definitely recommend. Paris is just too cool and too big to do in one day unfortunately.
