Hi everyone,
So my best friend and I have birthdays that are only a few days apart... This year we are both turning sixteen, and instead of having sweet 16s, we wanted to go to Paris, France during the week of winter vacation! Does anyone know of any tour packages or teen travel programs for our age? Or any suggestions for tours? We wanted to go on an escorted tour just around Paris. Is something this great out there? Thank you so much for your help!
Update:Also, It would be great if anyone knew of any hotels that offer accomadations for unaccompanied minors! :)

Your post is from the USA.The authorities will not let you out of the country without an assurance that an adult will be in charge of you when you get to your destination. Even at sixteen you are too young. Minors have to be escorted by someone over eighteen unless it is a private exchange between two families, or they are visiting friends or relatives who will take charge of them on arrival. Written evidence has to be produced. as well as telephone numbers, etc...
The kind of tour you are looking for is organised for groups, such as schools or clubs, but not for two teenagers travelling on their own.
Hotels no longer accept unaccompanied minors. They do not want the responsibility, and they fear damage to the rooms and drug and alcohol abuse. There are youth hostels that take older teenagers and young backpackers but you have to be at least seventeen and your parents have to have paid your stay in advance.
If you are 16 in Paris why are you looking for hotels that allow unaccompanied minors
