Upon arrival, we will be met and will set off for a panoramic Paris tour by our private bus awaiting us. During our panoramic tour, the Opera Square and Opera House, Tuileries Gardens, Concorde Square, the world-famous shopping avenue Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Military Museum, the Parliament building, Napoleon’s Tomb, the Louvre Palace and Museum, the National Assembly building, the Madeleine Church, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Comédie-Française, Chaillot Palace, Vendôme Square, and Trocadéro Square are among the places to be seen. We then depart for the Paris Dream Tour (Paris Icons & Montmartre Hill). While on our boat tour, you will get a close look at Paris’s most magnificent buildings and enjoy unforgettable moments passing under the bridges of the Seine River. Sights to be seen during this boat tour include the American Church, the National Assembly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Orsay Museum, Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Palace of Justice, the Conciergerie Prison, City Hall, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Louvre Palace. At the end of our boat tour, we set off for our Paris Dream tour. On this excursion, we will pass through the lively Pigalle district, one of the city’s most interesting areas, and head up to Montmartre Hill, also known as the Artists’ Hill, where bohemian life still continues today. After seeing Sacré-Cœur (the Basilica of the Sacred Heart), you will have free time at the Artists’ Square for portraits and photos. Following the Montmartre Hill tour, we visit the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris as well as France, for the Paris Icons tour to enjoy the city’s breathtaking views. During the photo stop, guests who wish may purchase a ticket and go up the tower. After free time, we transfer to our hotel. Accommodation at our hotel in Paris.
Paris - St. Germain Trip and Outlet
We start the day with breakfast at our hotel. Then, we depart with our guests for the St. Germain Tour and Outlet. We experience St. Germain, where many thinkers and philosophers such as philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and writer Simone de Beauvoir lived, and which is famous for its jazz music and cafés.

Paris - Bruges - Paris
After breakfast at our hotel, we set off for a tour of Bruges. Referred to as the “Venice of Belgium” thanks to its houses set in the water and its streets made up of canals, the city’s historic fabric and medieval architecture have been preserved intact to this day, as it miraculously escaped damage during World War II. The single-story, cake-like houses with colorful roofs that greet us in the city square, along with churches, statues, and the stone medieval streets, will draw us into a fairytale. Then, after a short photo break at the Museum Square and some free time, we will head to our hotel in Paris.
