Tips

For a more relaxed pace, add an extra night in London or Paris to reduce daily travel and include a rest day at a local park. If you need to shorten the trip, combine the London Eye and Tower of London into a single half‑day and swap the Seine dinner cruise for a quick riverside snack in Paris, saving both time and money.
