Tauck World Discovery
London and Paris
A
Week In... London and Paris
2009 Spring Preview –
Tauck's Paris and London tour is the classic European travel experience, with
high-speed train service linking the two capitals. History and intrigue
highlight these centers of culture and power, from jeweled crowns to an infamous
guillotine, from mummies to garden mazes, from gold-encrusted rooms to ancient
alleyways. In London tour Windsor Castle, the Tower of London and the British
Museum; enjoy the view from the world’s highest observation wheel and a theatre
performance of Wicked in the West End.
Cross the Channel Tunnel aboard Eurostar
to Paris; during your stay in the heart of the city, visit Chateau de Versailles
and Montmartre; take a privately guided tour of Musée du Louvre; and embark on a
private dinner cruise on the River Seine. There's no better way to discover
these two great cities in a week than on Tauck's Paris and London tour!

Need to Know
Tour prices are per person in U.S. dollars.
All accommodations, entertainment, special dinners, motor coach, rail
transportation, luggage handling, admissions, services of Tauck Directors, and
drivers are included.
Hotel Accommodations – Tauck’s price
includes all hotel accommodations with private baths. The Tauck standard is to
provide the best available hotels without sacrificing value. Although the
quality of accommodations may differ from place to place, this standard remains
uncompromised. Two-bedded rooms are reserved in most hotels. Triples are
two-bedded rooms plus a rollaway cot and are not recommended for comfort.
Single Hotel Accommodations – Since hotel
rates are per room, the tour price for rooms occupied by one person is higher
than those where two or more persons share the cost of a room. In Europe, most
single rooms are smaller than double rooms and have only one bed.
Meals – Meals are included as specified
in the itinerary. Meal codes are: B=Breakfast, L=Lunch, D=Dinner.
Tauck Director – Each Paris and London
tour is conducted by a Tauck Director who remains with the group throughout the
duration. Your Tauck Director is a professional, fully trained employee of Tauck.
Gratuities for luggage handling, bellmen,
doormen, dining room servers, housekeepers, and local guides are included.
No Options Sold – Tauck’s price includes
special dinners, entertainment, sightseeing and most activities. Tauck Directors
sometimes assist with information on free-time activities, based on honest
opinion and guidance, but will not sell you anything. This means better value
and a more relaxed, pleasant experience for you.
Airfare to the tour departure point and from the
tour ending point is not included.
Airfare may be purchased from Tauck for travel originating in the United States.
Hotel Rooms Before & After Tours – Due to
time schedules and the possibility of flight delays, many guests prefer to make
hotel arrangements for the night preceding their Paris and London tour. As a
service, Tauck will make reservations before or after your Paris and London
tour. Rooms are reserved on a space-available basis and must be booked through
Tauck to qualify for Tauck’s special rates. Hotel room charges will be added to
the tour cost. Note: In most cases, airport transfers are not included for these
bookings. To arrange additional nights in Paris after the Paris and London tour,
please discuss at the time of booking.
Tauck Director and Driver Gratuities –
The customary gratuity to the Tauck Director and driver is not included. Such
gratuities should be extended on a voluntary, individual basis and not as a
group.
Personal Expenses such as phone calls,
room service, alcoholic and bar beverages, laundry, airline excess luggage
charges, visa fees and other optional incidental extras are not included and may
be significant.
