A Family Adventure Through London, Paris and Rome

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey stands next to the magnificent Houses of Parliament and is steeped in more than 1,000 years of history. It has been the setting for every coronation since 1066, as well as 16 royal weddings. It is one of Britain’s most important religious buildings, and here you’ll discover a panorama of British history.

The Tower of London

One of the city’s most famous landmarks, the Tower of London has seen several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The Tower is perhaps best known as a prison, a function it performed from 1100 right up until 1952. A highlight for many are the Crown Jewels. Still regularly used by The Queen in important national ceremonies, they are the most powerful symbols of the British Monarchy, holding deep religious and cultural significance in the nation’s history.

Royal London

Britain is renowned for its pomp and ceremony and the British Royal Family is the most famous in the world. With your guide, walk past the halls of government power in Whitehall to Horse Guards Parade and visit the small museum that tells the story of the Household Cavalry. Take a walk through St. James’s Park to Buckingham Palace, official residence of the King and then pass by the Royal Mews and the guardians of the Gold State Coach, lookout for royal horses.

A Louvre family tour

On a Louvre tour designed for families, you’ll visit the museum together in a fun and meaningful way. Puzzle through the ‘Paris Muse Clues’, an educational and interactive treasure hunt that takes the family and your personal guide through a broad range of collections. Children gain an understanding to the history of art while sharpening their detective skills of observation. Their own answers to the clues lead them to discover a prize hidden somewhere under the Louvre’s glass pyramid.

Baking at a private Parisian apartment

In the friendly and informal atmosphere of a Parisian apartment, learn to make delicious patisserie from scratch. Try your hand at the classics or tackle choux pastry with a culinary expert to guide you. This basic pastry dough can be used to make both sweet and savoury delights, from appetisers to cream puffs.

The backstage tour of Versailles

After visiting the main rooms of the palace, enjoy exclusive access to apartments and rooms closed to the public, such as the apartments of Madame de Tourvel, secret passages and a gallery located above the Hall of Mirrors.

The Vatican City is the smallest state in the world, covering just 0.44 square kilometres. At the sprawling Vatican Museum, you’ll tour the seemingly endless collection of treasures as you make your way to the single work of art that dwarfs them all: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, the best-known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in the Vatican City. This tour will end with the extraordinary St. Peter’s Basilica designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
