The Great Trip to Paris and Spain
Do you love to travel? Do you like meeting new people, and getting to know new cultures? Do you want to have a mind blowing experience in France and Spain? If you agreed to all of these questions, then Lincoln’s trip to Europe is a perfect match for you.
It’s a 13 day trip, over summer next year from July 7th to the 19th to Spain and France for only $3900. This includes the cost for the airplane flight, hotel room reservations, professional and certified tour guides, European-style breakfast and dinner, plus all the transportation costs from one place to another. Basically it includes all costs except lunch. For lunch, you get the choice of going to restaurants, malls or other places to try new foods.
Mr. Church, the Lincoln teacher involved in organizing the trip, said, “Honestly, my experience with EF Tours [Education First] has been great. Last year we went to visit France and Italy, so this would be my first time in Spain. EF provides very educated and fun tour guides, due to which the tours have never been boring.” He continued, “Another benefit of this trip is that even though there are some rules that the tour guides provide us with, I always had the time to experience and investigate the places we visited. I loved the last year’s trip.”
This trip will start with Spain and then you will make your path way to France. During your visit to Spain, some places you will visit include Costa Del Sol, Malaga, Seville, Cordoba, Madrid, Zaragoza, and Barcelona. In Barcelona you will see and investigate landmarks like La Sagrada Familia, Montjuic Hill, Barrio Gotico, and Barcelona Cathedral. In Madrid you will see Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Oriente, Royal Palace, Prado, and you will also have time to explore on your own or take a walking tour of Madrid. In Cordoba you will visit Mezquita, and in Seville your tour guide will show you the Barrio de Santa Cruz, Seville Alcazar, Seville Cathedral, Giralda Tower, Torre del Oro, and Plaza de Toros.
The last place you will visit in Spain is Costa Del Sol, where you get to have a free day for investigating the area, with an opportunity to visit Morocco. After exploring Spain, you will take TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse), a high speed train from Barcelona to Paris. In Paris you will visit Latin Quarter, The Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, Place de la Concorde, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Les Invalides, and the famous Eiffel Tower.
