London, Paris, and Seine river cruise clothing
Hi all! Going on our 1st Tauck tour to London, Paris, and Seine river cruise August 1st & so excited! Question re. Clothing - are denim (or other) shorts ok for daytime? I have a few casual dresses and a pair of khaki crop pants. I’m just worried it will be super hot and even crop pants will be too heavy/hot. But I get the feeling shorts are too casual. Any guidance is much appreciated! Thank you!! PS- anyone else here going on same trip??

Shorts are fine for daytime touring; given the heat, you want to be cool and comfortable. Gauze and linen would be ideal. No shorts in the ship’s dining room, however.
It is a wonderful trip. Enjoy!
Be aware if there are any church visits, shorts may not be appropriate. Comfortable shoes are a must. If you wear capris they can transition to the evening if you don’t have time to change before dinner. Take an umbrella and be prepared for crowds. Have a great time!
No planned visits to places of worship on this itinerary (unless changed). I agree with the shoes—sturdy with good traction.
I see no need for an umbrella. The Savoy has loaners and you will find an umbrella in your cabin aboard the ship. Save room in your luggage for souvenirs!
I carry a small lightweight umbrella that fits in my small bag. I don’t want to be stuck with a large umbrella walking around.
I agree with British, I always carry a small umbrella, those from the hotels or ship are too cumbersome to carry.
I prefer to use the hood of my light-weight rain jacket rather than an umbrella. I do agree the large ones are cumbersome but have seen some people use them as added support on uneven walkways and stairs.
My husband and I are also on the August 2 trip; we're arriving Aug 1. I look forward to meeting you.
Hi Joyce! Nice to meet you as well! We are also arriving August 1st. We are so excited for this trip!
We did the Rendezvous on the Seine in May with very similar stops and we went into Cathedrals in a few towns on the way to Normandy as part of our daily excursions. No shorts were permitted inside. We went into two cathedrals in Rouen.
