London and Paris

London and Paris is one of the classic pairings in student travel, and for good reason: two capitals, two languages, two distinct national characters — all within eight days that move at a pace students can actually absorb. The tour opens in London, where your group settles into centrally located hotels and begins working through the city over three full days. Paris follows on Day 5, reached by crossing the Channel and arriving in time to orient before two more full days on the ground. The shape of the itinerary is deliberate: enough time in each city to move past the surface, not so much that momentum stalls.
