Safe Travels! A week in magical Paris with a small group of fellow travelers and no single supplement ever.What makes Paris Personally the best small group experience in Paris? Paris Personally is refined group travel that’s fun and never stuffy. Our small groups are actually small –
around 10 people, giving you a more personal experience. And trips are led by a full-time Parisian who speaks French (and English) fluently. You’ll stay in a chic, centrally located boutique hotel, dine in charming Parisian restaurants, and see more than just the big museums and sites. You’ll explore Paris in a way that feels more like you’re with friends than part of a tour
group. And after our structured morning outings, your afternoons will be all yours. We’ll help you decide what to do and how to get there, of course. Whether it’s French fashion you’re after, some deliciously sinful treat, or just a walk along the banks of the Seine, we’ll help you make it happen!

TWO TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
My Price/Benefits Analysis of Travel InsuranceI have never, ever traveled out side the country without travel insurance. As you can read here, I’m proof that travel insurance is worth it! My price and benefits comparison shows that World Nomads is the best deal in most situations. Public WiFi Safety
Hotel WiFi, coffee shop WiFi… they are all public and without a VPN you can have your identity stolen and your accounts hacked. I use StrongVPN when going on public WiFi to do anything financial. StrongVPN also allows me to watch Netflix when I’m out of the country and get around WiFi firewalls in countries that have them. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
Booking a hotel, B&B or hostel? Going shopping
on Amazon?
You can support Solo Traveler by clicking through to Booking.com or Amazon with these links or any
links in our Accommodation Guide or Gear &
Books page. It doesn't matter what you buy or how small it is, it all helps.
Many thanks! |
