London, Paris, Rome

This truly unforgettable private tour features the absolute best of three of the most important, beautiful and fascinating cities in Europe. It's a dream trip sure to leave your family with memories and inspirations to last a lifetime.

Begin in London, one of the great cities of the world and an endlessly fascinating destination for adults and children alike. During flexible private touring with your own Blue Badge guide and driver, experience London according to the interests of your family. Some of our favorite family-friendly options include seeing the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London; touring awe-inspiring Westminster Abbey to learn about some of England's greatest monarchs, poets and scientists; coming face-to-face with mummies at the British Museum and dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum; visiting Harry Potter sites such as the London Zoo and Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station; taking a ride on the London Eye for spectacular views over the city; seeing the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace; sampling sweets and treats galore in the food halls of Harrods; riding a double-decker bus; and browsing one of the best toy stores in the world. One day, opt to take an excursion outside London. Options include a VIP tour of The Making of Harry Potter at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London; Oxford, home to one of the most prestigious universities in Britain and the location for scenes in the Harry Potter films; Windsor Castle; Stonehenge, one of England's most enduring icons; Highclere Castle, the filming location for the Downton Abbey TV series; historic Greenwich; or Kew Gardens, with its Treetop Walkway and many other family attractions.

Upon request, Artisans of Leisure will also arrange reservations for dining and afternoon tea, book tickets to performances, and provide recommendations for the best shopping in London. Accommodation is at one of London's best luxury hotels.

Continue to Paris by Eurostar train. With your own private guide and driver, tour the city according to the interests of your family. Favorite options include a tour of the Eiffel Tower; seeing the Mona Lisa and other art masterpieces during a family-friendly tour of the Louvre Museum; visiting famous patisseries and cafes; take a cruise on the Seine River; and exploring Montmartre. One day, enjoy a private excursion to Versailles to tour Louis XIV's opulent palace, including the Hall of Mirrors, the gardens, and the Hameau de la Reine, the mock hamlet created for Marie-Antoinette. If desired, we can also arrange biking on the grounds of Versailles. Other options we arrange include touring Paris with an art expert, private shopping tours, a private perfume-making workshop, a day at Paris Disneyland, picnics in Parisian parks, as well as tickets to the ballet, opera, circus or other performances.

Conclude your tour in Rome. Enjoy comprehensive private touring and experience the best of Roman culture, history and lifestyle. Discover ancient pagan and Christian monuments, the splendors of Baroque and Renaissance palaces and churches, and the surprising urban additions of the modern city. Highlights include the Roman and Imperial Forums, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, Saint Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Via Veneto, the morning fruit and flower market of Campo dei Fiori, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, the Jewish Quarter, the ruins along the Appian Way, beautiful Aventine Hill, and the catacombs and "Underground Rome." Also, enjoy family-friendly activities such as learning to make pizza or gelato, or visiting a school where children can train to be gladiators. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange special activities according to your interests, such as visits to other ruins and museums, tickets to evening cultural performances, and more. During free time in Rome, enjoy la dolce vita and the city's excellent restaurants.
