London & Paris Travelogue

Hi everyone! My family and I travelled to London & Paris in June 2013. During the planning phase, I visited several travel agents. Many offered accommodations with loads of facilities which I will not be using during my stay. What made it worse was the location of the hotels which were far from the city. The lowest quote I got for a 7D5N Free & Easy Trip to London & Paris was S$2500 inclusive of tax. This price did not include any attractions during the trip.

My family's goal was to travel budget. Travelling to London & Paris can be affordable if you are fine with simple & clean accommodation. Below is the overall cost for my 9D7N London Paris Trip. Stay tuned for the updates.

Prices stated are per pax and may not be a fair gauge as the cab is shared between 5 pax.
