Flight To London, England
Participants on this trip have the option to fly overseas on our chaperoned flight that leaves in the evening from the New York area to London. Our leaders greet you at the airport and are with you from check-in onward. For the many travelers from outside the New York area, you can choose to join the chaperoned flight and we are happy to assist you with arranging connecting flights at suitable times into New York. You may also choose to meet us in London and we will help coordinate your flight times and greet you upon arrival.

Return Flight Home From Paris, France
For your return from Paris, we offer a chaperoned flight to New York. For travelers from other areas, you may choose to join that flight and arrange transfers at suitable times from New York after the group has cleared customs and immigration in the USA; or you may fly from Paris to your home city and our leaders help you to check-in and remain in the airport until flights in designated times have departed.

Meals
Breakfasts in Europe are eaten at our hotels and served buffet style with a variety of options. For dinners, either the whole group goes to the same restaurant or we divide into smaller groups of your choosing. For lunch, you will enjoy eating in smaller groups and choosing from local cafés, bistros, and other restaurants. Are you ready for crispy baguettes in France? The food in Europe is terrific, so get set to eat extremely well!

We have satisfied the choosiest of eaters and gladly accommodate most special dietary requests including vegetarian, food allergies, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, and kosher style. We welcome discussing your individual requirements with you and have extensive experience in this area.

Laundry
You will only need one week’s worth of clothing as outlined in the packing list that will be sent to you prior to departure. We either drop our laundry off at a local wash-and-fold service and then pick it up clean, folded, and ready to go, or we go to laundromats together to do our laundry. When using laundromats, we provide detergent and the WCC laundry lesson for first-timers.

Traveler’s Backpack as Your Luggage
On this program, we ask that participants pack in a large traveler’s backpack or internal frame backpack which are essential for mobility and convenience of travel. Participants are responsible for carrying their luggage while traveling throughout our destinations, on public transportation (ex: trains, metro) as well as up stairs, along cobblestone streets and for extended distances. Rolling duffel bags not recommended as they are difficult to maneuver and transport on trains, through European city streets and public spaces.
