Paris & London Tour Packages — A Designer’s Guide to Europe’s Most Iconic Duo
From the Travel Designers who have crafted hundreds of Paris + London itineraries for honeymoons, families, and first-time European travelers.
Quick Answer
The best Paris & London tour packages are 7–10 days, include Eurostar travel, curated boutique hotels, private guides, and a pace tailored to you. Juniper designs every itinerary completely custom to your travel style.
A Designer’s Note: Why This Pairing Works So Well
One thing we hear constantly from travelers is:
“It felt like two completely different vacations… without losing a single day to travel.”
Paris is slow romance, cafés, and art.
London is royal history, modern culture, theatre, and endless neighborhoods to explore.
And the Eurostar ties them together in just 2 hours.
Travel Designer Insight:
“Paris/London is my #1 recommendation for couples and first-timers. You get contrast without complexity.”
If you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary trip, or your first time in Europe, this combination is almost always a home run.
Why Paris & London Work Perfectly Together
Effortless Eurostar Connection
The train is only 2h15, center-to-center.

Day 5 — Eurostar to London
We typically book Standard Premier or Business Premier for comfort and ease.
Your private driver meets you at St Pancras and transfers you to Covent Garden, Mayfair, or South Kensington.
Days 6–8 — London
• Private walking tour (Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Tower Bridge)
• Afternoon tea at Claridge’s or The Savoy
• Optional day trips: Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford
• West End theatre night or Thames dinner cruise
Designer Insight:
London is massive. A private guide dramatically improves pacing and reduces “destination fatigue.”
