2025 Tour Details View 2026 Tour Details »

Coffee and croissants. Tea with jam and scones. Cathedrals and bells. Some things just naturally belong together, and Paris and London are no exception. This Independent City Stay pairs the best of both worlds with 7 days in the City of Light and the Swinging City. Take the I-time you deserve to really get to know these incredible places and explore like a local along the Champs-Élysées or in Covent Garden. Another two things that belong together are you and this Paris/London adventure.

Your Globus Independent tour delivers all the perks you'd expect from Globus, plus the I-Time you crave to explore on your own. We take care of the details with included accommodations, daily breakfasts, select guided sightseeing, and a Local Host in each city to assist you. We’ll also handle flight arrangements and airport transfers at the beginning and end of your tour, if you wish.

Multiple Vacation Discount: Save up to an additional $100 per person when you book more than one Globus, Cosmos or Avalon Vacation for the same travel year
