London London has become one of the world’s great melting pots while maintaining a distinct character all its own. Join a local guide on your sightseeing tour, where you’ll check out the lively five-way intersection at Pic-cadilly Circus and Hyde Park’s urban greenery. Snap a photo of the Houses of Parliament, and admire the Baroque spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Then, visit the Tower of London, a former jail that held prisoners like Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More. Surrounded by a (now dry) moat, today the Tower houses the stunning Crown Jewels. Ready to see London on foot? Our EF walking tour takes you to Trafalgar Square and Cov-ent Garden.

Louvre Paris, France

Versailles Palace Versailles, France

VersaillesNobody does decadence like Louis XIV, and there’s no better testament to this than Versailles. Under the direction of the Sun King, the château that began as a modest hunting lodge exploded into one of the largest palaces on earth. On your excursion to this lavish estate, explore the state apartments of the king and queen and the magnificent Hall of Mirrors. Walk through the meticulously landscaped gardens and marvel at dozens of ornate fountains. Discover why Versailles was more than just a vacation home: Louis XIV hosted his royal court here to rein in their power and prevent their political rise.

ParisBonjour, Paris! During your sightseeing in the City of Light, get a taste of Parisian style as you ride down the Champs-Élysées, an elegant boulevard packed with high-fashion boutiques. Pass the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe and strike a pose in front of the Eiffel Tower. At the École Militaire, see where a promising young Napoleon launched his rise to power. I.M. Pei’s iconic glass pyramid marks the entrance to the renowned Louvre, home to treasures like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Then, travel to the Notre Dame Cathedral and admire its sculptured façade, stained-glass rose windows and seemingly weightless vaulted ceilings.
