FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
What is the climate like?
During the summer months, the weather in London is mild,
with temperatures topping out at 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the
day, and dropping down to 50 degrees at night. In Paris, the
weather is slightly warmer with temperatures in the day in the
70s.
How strenuous are the activities?
While this adventure is not considered physically strenuous,
most days will include two or more hours of walking, often on
uneven cobblestone streets. While at Versailles, the itinerary
includes a gentle and brief bicycle ride. While nearly all of
the trip's featured activities are gentle if examined
separately, the full range of activities requires a moderate
amount of stamina in order to get the most of your vacation.
What ages are appropriate for this adventure?
While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of
travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we
recommend that children be at least 6 years old at the time of
travel on our Cities of Knights and Lights trip. This is based
on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone
differences in the destination, duration of the vacation,
extended hours of daily activity programming, number of internal
transports between experiences, and amount of physical activity
(e.g., walking, biking) involved. Because each child is
different, call a Concierge Agent to discuss whether this is the
right trip for your little ones.
