London to Paris

There was a 8-day RS tour like that but they discontinued it a few years ago.

do you mean a Rick Steves tour or a tour by somebody else?

If the first - no

If the second, no I haven't heard of one.

Are you looking for a day tour or a tour to spend x number nights in London and then travel to Paris and spend x number of nights there?

Eurostar offers packages - hotel and train - but not a tour .

Rick does offer one of his Family Europe tours that starts in London, then on to Paris and continues down thru Switzerland and ends in Italy.

If you wanted city tours, you could do a back to back set of tours with the Best of London with the Best of Paris tour and take the Eurostar between. This is very easy to do.

There is a tour offered by Road Scholar that does both. This is the company that used to be Elder Hostel but changed to Road Scholar a few years ago. I have done 10 programs with them as well as 10 with Rick Steves, so it is my back up company when Rick doesn't have an itinerary that I want.

My husband and I several years ago traveled to London on our own and took the train to Liverpool and Brighton without a problem. I would like to travel to Paris for a few days on the Eurostar from London next time, but am nervous about taking the train myself. I am sure the first time it would be confusing, so I thought a tour (not fully escorted) would be a good compromise. I was just wondering if Rick offered this, since I could not find one. We are 2 - 67 year olds and my husband has early stage Parkinson's, so I am in charge.

I totally understand. The station in Paris Gare du Nord where the Eurostar terminates can be bewildering to the first timer

Traveling between London and Paris on Eurostar is REALLY easy. I find it easier than the usual intracity European trains. You have to be there a little earlier to go through security, so there is not the frantic boarding when a gate is announced at the last minute. And taxis are readily available at both stations to get you to your hotel. Since you've traveled on your own before, I don't think you will have any problem doing this!

So sorry about your husband's disease process.

Even as a novice the Eurostar was pretty easy the first time I took it from London (actually went to Brussels instead of Paris but really no difference in the process). The biggest problem would be managing your luggage to/from the train stations.

The Road Scholar trip might work as they will porter your bags whereas the Rick trips do not.

You'd still want to pack light so you could keep track of things easier.

Thanks, everyone. Great information.

If you are comfortable traveling around London and Paris by yourself then you are more then able to handle the train,

The big issue would be getting from the train to your hotel. And they have a line up for taxis that is well patrolled by security.

So just take the address of your hotel and have it on a separate pice if paper. Hand it to you taxis driver and you are good to go. Make sure you get Euros before you leave as finding an ATM in the train station is next to impossible.

Once you are at your hotel you just proceed as normal.
I didn’t catch if the plan was to fly home from Paris or not. But it is extremely easy to go from Paris to London as the signs are easy to follow for the Eurostar and the staff speak English as well as French.
I have done the trip both ways with my father (in his 80s) and neither of us speak French but had absolutely Zero problem with finding and getting on the Eurostar.
So don’t let the train part worry you.
It is not like you can get lost once you are on the train it only has one stop. ;)

Using the Eurostar is absolutely easy. My friend, who had never been out of the country, and certainly isn’t used to trains and bustling urban cities, was able to take the Eurostar from Paris to meet me in London. If he can do it, anyone can.
