What our customers ask about England and France Tours for Seniors
How many days should seniors plan for seeing both England and France?
A comfortable visit to England and France needs 7 to 12 days to fully take in both countries without rushing. Dedicate at least 3 to 4 days each to London and Paris. Popular packages like Globus' Independent City Stay tours split 7 days between the capitals while Trafalgar's "London and Paris Explorer" extends to 9 days adding visits to Windsor Castle and Versailles. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The 9-day length was perfect - enough time to really experience both cities without feeling rushed."
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit England and France?
The shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions. During these months visitors find mild temperatures fewer tourists and good walking conditions. Paris sees average temperatures of 20°C/68°F in May making it ideal for outdoor activities like visiting Monet's Giverny gardens. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We went in September and the weather was perfect for sightseeing - not too hot or cold and the summer crowds had left."
What type of accommodation can seniors expect on England and France tours?
Tours generally book centrally located 4-star hotels equipped with elevators and modern comforts. The historic Strand Palace Hotel near London's Covent Garden and Paris's Crowne Plaza Republique represent typical accommodations. River cruise options through companies like Avalon Waterways feature roomy suites with wide windows and accessible bathrooms. A TourRadar review states: "The hotels were great - centrally located with excellent breakfasts and the rooms were very comfortable with all the amenities we needed."
What transportation options are available between cities for seniors?
The Eurostar train provides the main connection between London and Paris taking just over 2 hours. Tour packages include train seats often in first-class or standard premier with help for luggage. City tours use comfortable coaches while guides help navigate public transit during free time. A TourRadar reviewer shared: "Transfers were efficient and on time - the Eurostar journey was very smooth and comfortable with our luggage handled for us."
What medical facilities/support is available for seniors during the tours?
Both London and Paris maintain high-quality medical centers with English-speaking staff. Tour guides keep emergency contacts ready and can help with medical situations. Many hotels like the Crowne Plaza Republique sit close to hospitals. From a TourRadar review: "Our tour director was extremely helpful when my husband needed a doctor - she arranged everything and even accompanied us to translate."
Are meals included on England and France senior tours?
Tour packages typically cover daily hotel breakfasts and select dinners at restaurants or special locations including the Eiffel Tower. Collette's tours provide 7 breakfasts and 3 dinners with a Seine River dinner cruise as the finale. Free periods let travelers explore local food independently. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Breakfasts at both hotels were excellent with a full selection. Every included dinner was special and unique in great settings."
What is the typical physical activity level required for seniors on England and France tours?
Tours maintain an "Easy" to "Relaxing" pace with light walking on cobblestone streets and occasional stairs. Collette's "London & Paris" features gentle walks through Westminster and around the Eiffel Tower with regular rest stops. Hotels chosen for their central locations help reduce walking distances. A TourRadar traveler commented: "Everything was very smooth and the people were knowledgeable and helpful and kind making it perfect for our pace."
