While it may seem like planning a vacation isn’t that difficult, it can actually be a very long, complicated process. You have to decide what sites you want to see, what places you want to go, and how you’re going to get from one place to another, all while avoiding lines and tourist traps in an unfamiliar city. A vacation package may be exactly what you need to make the most of your trip.

SAVE TIME
When you book a vacation package, you’re saving yourself a lot of time spent figuring out what sites you want to see and then searching for the best deals, transportation, and accommodations. With a vacation package, you simply select the option that best corresponds to what you are looking for (or, with companies like ParisbyM that offer a tailor-made program, you get exactly what you’re looking for) and everything else is included in the package.

SAVE MONEY
Think of all the money you would be spending as an average tourist paying typical public prices. With a vacation package, you have access to insider information, such as discounted passes, that gets you where you want for less. Your vacation package provider is often partnered with tour companies, restaurants, or hotels and may be ableto offer activities, dining options, and accommodations at reduced rates.

EFFICIENT PLANNING
If you plan your trip yourself, you could end up wasting valuable vacation time waiting in lines or dealing with transportation problems. A vacation package will usually provide private transportation services, so you can rest assured that you will arrive at each destination on time. It may also offer passes and guided tour options that let you avoid lines and get the most out of your visit.

FULL ITINERARY
A vacation package gives you exclusive options that you might not have thought about. In addition to visiting main monuments, you may have the option to visit some of the less touristy areas and truly live like a local. Your vacation package provider is familiar with the city and can efficiently plan your trip so that you are neither bored nor tired as you explore all your destination has to offer.

Advantages of a Trip Planner in Paris

There’s something special about Pairs that manages to draw millions of visitors every year. Unfortunately, that means that, no matter when you go, there will always be crowds of people at the main monuments. But, don’t let that get you down! We’ve got some tips on how to beat the lines and have the best vacation possible!

EIFFEL TOWER
The most visited landmark in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has some of the longest lines. Even if you get there before the ticket booths open, the line will already be enormous. If you don’t want to spend a large part of your day waiting, you have a couple of options. You can take the stairs to the second floor, which usually has little to no wait. However, this is provided you don’t have knee problems or small children with you, as it can be a difficult climb. Your best bet is to book your tickets well in advance to avoid the lines and the stairs altogether.

LOUVRE
Another popular tourist spot, the Louvre sees around 15,000 visitors per day. With so many people circulating through it, lines are bound to be long and the wait could cost you more of your precious vacation time. If you’ll be visiting multiple Paris museums, you can purchase the Paris Museums Pass and skip the lines altogether. If you’ll only be in Paris for a few days or are not planning on visiting a lot of museums, you can enter the museum through an alternate entrance at the Porte des Lions, not far from the regular entrance. While there are usually no lines here, you will still have to wait a while to see the most popular exhibits, like the Mona Lisa.

NOTRE-DAME
Lines at Notre-Dame tend to be longer in the mornings, as tour buses tend to arrive as soon as it opens. However, lines are still long in the afternoon / evening, and you can’t really avoid them. Only a limited number of people are allowed to go up at a time, and, with 422 steps to the top, it can take a while. Your best bet would be to go at least an hour before doors open or to go as part of a guided tour group to ensure you get in at a decent time.

Hopefully, these tips help you make the most of your Parisian adventure! If you’d like to book your tickets, passes, or guided tours to avoid the lines, but don’t know where to start, let us take care of everything for you! Click the link below to start planning your trip today!
