To Be Determined

Airport Taxi Pick-Up

Upon arrival at one of Paris's Charles de Gaulle or Orly Airports, it's fairly easy to catch a taxi from outside the main terminal building to your hotel. This is cheaper than a pre-arranged private transfer, although that option is also available if you wish - just ask your consultant. Parisien taxi drivers are generally reliable and honest, but we will provide you with instructions on how to avoid possible scammers and charlatans. If you want to save money, and often quite a lot of time as well, we will also give you alternative instructions on taking public transport into the city center. Details are contained in the full itinerary and mobile app available to our travelers. If on the other hand, you are arriving at Paris's third airport, Beauvais Airport (BVA), then you should always take the shuttle bus. The taxi fare might cost more than the flight - it's  nearly 50 miles (75km) outside the city.

Gems of Paris & Brussels Trip FAQ's

Is 7 days really enough to see both Paris and Brussels?

It’s tight but totally doable. You’ll get four nights in Paris and two in Brussels, which gives you time for major highlights in both without feeling rushed. Paris will focus on must-sees like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and a private guided city tour. In Brussels you will get a taste of Belgium’s Grand Place and food scene. The itinerary includes three guided activites, a private walking tour, chocolate or waffle workshop, and a private beer tour. If you wanted more leisure days, the trip is flexible—you could add extra nights in either city.

How do you travel between Paris and Brussels?

You’ll take a high-speed Thalys train, which is included in your package. Your itinerary includes pre-booked tickets and step-by-step instructions in their mobile app, so you don’t have to figure out platforms or reservations. The ride is about 1 hour 45 minutes, super easy compared to flying or renting a car. Go Real Travel’s mobile app guides you step by step through finding your train at Paris Gare du Nord and what to expect on arrival at Brussels Midi.

Are the tours private or group-based?

Almost everything is private. You’ll have a private walking tour of Paris, a private walking tour of Brussels, and a private beer & chocolate tour. The Montmartre food tour is small-group, which adds some fun energy without being crowded. The rest of the time is self-guided with detailed directions in the mobile app.

Is local transportation covered?

The only prepaid transport is your Paris to Brussels train. Metro, RER, and taxis are paid locally. The difference is you’re never guessing: the itinerary provides point-to-point instructions for every move — from the airport to your hotel, hotel to tours, and self-guided touring.

Are tickets to the Louvre or Eiffel Tower included?

No, they’re not prepaid. Both are optional extras. What you do get is Go Real Travel’s detailed guidance: step-by-step instructions on how to book tickets online, how to avoid the longest lines, and the best entrances and times to go. The app walks you through the whole process so you can add these must-sees easily without stress.

What hotels are included?

Three nights in Paris and three in Brussels, prepaid. Hotels are centrally located, so you’ll be within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. You’ll choose your specific hotel from Go Real Travel’s curated options when booking, rather than being assigned one at random.

Do I have free time?

Yes. Guided activities don’t fill the entire day, and the itinerary supports independent exploration with directions to additional sights, restaurants, and neighborhoods.

How do I get from the airport into Paris?

Transfers aren’t prepaid, but you have three easy options. The first is a taxi — official Paris taxis have regulated flat fares from both Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports into the city, and the itinerary explains exactly where to find the taxi stands and what fare to expect so you won’t be overcharged. The second option is Uber, which is allowed at both airports, though you’ll need to walk to the designated rideshare pickup areas. Depending on traffic, Uber can be cheaper or more expensive than the flat-rate taxis. The third option is the RER B train, Paris’ express commuter rail line that runs directly from both airports into central Paris. The itinerary shows you how to find the station inside the terminal, buy your ticket, and get off at the stop closest to your hotel.

What’s the best time to go to Paris and Brussels?

May, June, September, and October are ideal. July–August are warmer but still workable. December offers Paris lights and Brussels Christmas markets. Other months of the year may not have the best weather, but the crowds are much lighter and it is easier to visit the top attractions.

Can I extend the trip?

Yes. You can add extra nights in Paris or Brussels or continue by train to Amsterdam or other cities. Which European cities you visit is up to you.

Why book this trip instead of planning it myself?

Because you avoid the stress. Everything is booked for you. Hotels are central, guides are private, the train is prepaid, and our mobile app gives detailed directions for everything. You still have freedom, but without logistical headaches.

Is this Paris and Brussels itinerary good for kids?

Yes, though museums may be intense for young ones. Montmartre’s food tour and Brussels’ chocolate tour are kid-friendly, and because many tours are private, pacing can be adjusted.

Is it safe in Paris and Brussels?

Both Paris and Brussels are big cities, so you should always maintain situational awareness, but in general, these cities are safe, especially in the tourist center. The main issue is pickpockets in crowded tourist zones like the Louvre or Grand Place. The mobile app even notes areas where you should be extra alert.

Are meals included?

Breakfast at the hotels may be included depending on which hotels you choose. Lunch and dinner are on your own, which is ideal for trying French cafés and Belgian brasseries.

What if something goes wrong?

The itinerary covers most of what you will need for your trip, but Go Real Travel also provides 24/7 support from their Europe-based team if you run into issues like delays or other unexpected problems.
