Our solution
Inbound Travel arranged all transport, guides/escorts, centrally located hotels, sightseeing, shows, meals, etc.
After a four-night stay in London, a 20-minute transfer brought the group from their hotel to St Pancras Station to board the Eurostar train to Paris. Two-and-a-quarter hours later we were transporting them to Montmartre for lunch and sightseeing, followed by visits to the Louvre and Notre Dame. Dinner was provided in the Eiffel Tower before the group retired to the four-star Crowne Plaza Paris-Republique hotel.
On subsequent days guests were treated to a visit to the Moulin Rouge, with its famous French can-can dancing, a Champagne cruise on the Seine to see the city of lights, and a visit to the Palace of Versailles, with a wine and cheese lunch. There was also a day out in the French countryside around Reims – Champagne country – plus visits to the city's Gothic cathedral, and the Mumm and Moët and Chandon wine cellars for tastings.
Inbound Travel has arranged group programmes in many European cities, including Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid. Please ask for extensions or separate group visits to these and other European destinations.
