Friends vacation to Paris, London, & Ireland - 2024

Getting to see portions of the Paralympics is something most people don’t get to say they’ve done, however these clients can! They won tickets from their work for a few days at the Paris Paralympics and decided to extend their trip to London & Ireland afterwards. While the Paralympic portion was taken care of by corporate, the rest of the trip was up to them, and they decided to use me to plan it - smart choice!

While in Paris, I was able to arrange for them to enjoy a hop-on, hop-off bus to help them quickly see the major sites in their limited amount of time. I also arranged for them to climb the Eiffel Tower before they headed to London for the next leg of their journey.

In London, they saw Wicked in the Apollo Victoria Theatre, the original home of Wicked since its first performance in London in 2006. They also went to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle, explored the big hitters in London, and had afternoon tea at Hampton Court.

From London they flew to Shannon, Ireland, which is on the west coast. They rented a car and made their way back towards Dublin, stopping to see the Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, and Blarney Castle. While in Dublin, they had to stop for a tour of the Guinness Storehouse, and they also used the hop-on, hop-off bus to get around to see other sites as well. They finished their time meeting up with a local friend and exploring Slane Village together before heading home.
