November 28-December 6, 2026
Imagine wandering through London beneath a canopy of twinkling lights… warming your hands around mulled wine… then days later strolling Parisian boulevards where golden holiday windows glow against the winter dusk.
This is more than travel — it is an investment in yourself. Celebrating the arrival of theholidays before the chaos envelops you.
In joy. In presence. In choosing experiences now rather than postponing them for a future that is never guaranteed.
Two iconic cities draped in twinkling lights. Cobblestone streets scented with roasted chestnuts. Boutique hotels, dazzling landmarks, quiet moments of wonder—and a spirited circle of women exploring the wonder of the big city Christmas Markets together.
London and Paris at Christmastime are not destinations; they are dreams you step into.
Let’s begin…
🎄 Day 1 – Welcome to a London Wrapped in Lights
Arrive before noon and step into a winter tapestry of sparkling streets, wreath-adorned doors, and the soft swirl of holiday bustle. Your private driver escorts you to a charming boutique hotel tucked into the heart of London.
Rest, refresh, sip a soothing tea, and feel yourself settle into the rhythm of your Christmas escape.
Wander the nearby streets as the afternoon light softens—the shop windows dancing with holiday displays—before we gather for a warm and festive welcome dinner in a traditional English pub.
A cozy beginning to a magical week.

The afternoon carries us to St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben—majestic and radiant against the winter sky.
Our final flourish: the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, an iconic pageant brightened with holiday pomp.

A night to remember.
