In this promotional YouTube video, hosts Josh and Rachael Fillbrandt announce their first group travel adventure—a six‑day, all‑inclusive trip to Paris (September 10‑15, 2027) with a day‑trip to Brussels. They share personal motivation (a three‑year gap since their first Europe trip and a long‑standing bucket‑list desire), outline a detailed day‑by‑day itinerary (arrival, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs‑Élysées, Seine dinner cruise, free day, Brussels food tour, macaron‑making workshop, farewell dinner), and describe the partnership with travel operator Atomic Trips. The video lists the price ($2,499 per person plus taxes), what’s included (hotel, airport transfers, group transportation, guided experiences, professional photography, scheduled meals and beverages, digital itinerary app, support Zoom calls) and what’s excluded (flights, souvenirs, independent meals, travel insurance). It also explains booking logistics (multiple payment options, official trip page link, private Facebook/Discord community, pre‑trip Zoom calls, limited small‑group size) and invites viewers to join like‑minded travelers who want to “see, do, and eat” in Paris and Brussels.
Chapters
3 years ago, we went to Europe for the first time.
And we absolutely loved it, but we haven't made it back. And it's been 3 years!
So we're looking to change that, and we are booking a trip to Paris.
And we want you to come with us.
Oh, by the way, I'm Josh.
And I'm Rachael. Let's go! Alright, after that exciting intro, we want you to know this isn't just watching us on an upcoming vlog. We really want you to come with us.
Yeah, we are looking to plan our very first group trip and it's gonna be going to Paris next year.
Yay!
Oh, why Paris?
Why Paris? Well, for one, it's on my bucket list. I've been wanting to go to Paris for such a long time. We've talked about it since we first started dating and And it's just never panned out for us.
Yeah, I think if you've been watching us, you know that we want to see, do, and eat everything that we possibly can. And generally we give ourselves 24 or 48 hours. We do know that there's some cities that you just need to give a bit more. And so Paris is one of those. And no, you're not going to have to do everything in 24 hours and with no hotel. This is going to be a lot more than that. We are looking to go there next September, 2027, so September 10th through the 15th. So you've got a full year to prepare for it.
Yes.
And so do we.
And so do we. And we've truly asked ourselves, if we don't do this now, when will we do this? So we are jumping right in. All right, so let's talk itinerary. We've got 6 days in Paris. You're going to get to Paris. I mean, how exciting is that?
It is exciting. Yes.
And then going to obviously check into the hotel And then we'll be doing our first group dinner that night.
Nice and easy. We're not gonna overwhelm anybody. But you can check out the neighborhood. Depending on whatever time you get there, you can check in your— check your bags or whatever. Day 2 though, that's when it all goes crazy. Oh my gosh. So day 2 is gonna be one of those days like what we usually try to do in our videos. Where we try to see all the big landmarks and eat as good as possible.
I was gonna say, and we're gonna eat.
Yes.
Okay.
So day 2, we do get to go as a group over to the Eiffel Tower, which I think is just gonna be freaking amazing.
I do too.
As well as go to the Arc de Triomphe.
I'm not pronouncing it, that's why Josh is doing it.
Yeah, sorry, we're not real good at French.
We've got a year to practice.
You guys have probably seen that from us before. Also go down the Champs— Champs-Élysées.
Oh, that was very good.
Yeah, and then we will also go to the outside of the Louvre.
Yeah.
We will not be going in that day though.
Here's one of the exciting things that is going to be included for us is professional photos. So we aren't going to be just seeing this through a tour bus. We're going to be getting out and exploring and making sure these experiences are like you're truly immersed in the Paris must-sees.
Yeah.
And that, you know us, that's how we like to do things. So that's one of the big pieces we can't wait to be on this for.
Yeah, and then for lunch that day, we are looking to go to a little almost farmer's market around the Eiffel Tower to have a nice casual lunch. We will have a little bit of time in the afternoon, but then that night—
This is one of the most exciting parts.
So exciting.
We are going to do a late night dinner on the Seine, Seine?
Seine, Seine, Seine?
River.
River.
We will be experiencing Paris after dark, and I mean late night. It's like a 9 o'clock dinner. Finishes up between 11 and 11:30.
Yeah, we have seen some footage where they are going down the river. Yeah, we're just gonna say river. And you've got the lit-up Eiffel Tower in the background, and we'll be eating together. I think it's gonna be freaking amazing.
I do too.
That's gonna be one of those big epic days.
I think that's one of those moments that you're going to like, this is it.
Yeah.
Like, we're in Paris. How exciting.
All right, and day 3, you are gonna have a free day, so you can rest, you can sleep, And this brings into something that I'm really excited for, and I think cruising has truly made us love this part, is being able to get into a hotel or a cruise ship, unpack for a week, and not pack again.
Yeah.
Because you're gonna be staying in that hotel. Now, day 3, you could end up doing just hanging out in the neighborhood, go to the local cafe, go to a local restaurant, check out the stores there. Or you could end up going to like Versailles, you could go to the Louvre, you could spend all day at the museum, you could go to the of the Eiffel Tower, or even like Disneyland Paris. There's so much to do, but you have the time and ability to choose for yourself.
All right, so day 3 is your day to relax, rejuvenate, catch up on any rest, or explore Paris as you want. But day 4, this is another one I am so excited for. It's a new country day. We are going to do a foodie day in Brussels, Belgium. Waffles, Chocolate, sausage, beer. Yeah, like day two, this is a guided experience with a lot of culture, a lot of local experiences, and again, more photo ops. We're also going to have a little bit of free time to explore the Grand Place.
We don't really know much about the Grand Place yet, but it looks grand. Well, we have a year to start learning about it, and I just need to know that I'm in Brussels.
I was gonna say, I just need to know I'm getting another country. Like, how exciting is that? So exciting!
So exciting. And then we will end up getting back to Paris later that night. So the next day you might want to have a little bit of a late morning. You might want to get up and go everywhere again like we did on day 3. But you have a little bit of a free time, and then there's going to be an experience that I think is awesome for us. And if, if you've been with us for 6 years now, Yeah. One of the very first videos that we ever made was about trying the best macarons in Las Vegas. Nobody watched it.
No.
So don't be— don't be— don't feel bad if you didn't watch it.
No.
Nobody else did. But we made a video where we just ate like 30 macarons in Las Vegas, and we're gonna be in Paris making our own.
Yes! We're gonna do a macaron-making workshop. And not just was it a thing we did in Vegas 6 years ago, but macarons are one of our favorite treats. We even had them at our wedding. 3 years ago. So for us, this is truly a personal experience that we want to share with you. And after that, we'll have a little bit more free time and get ready to enjoy a farewell dinner. This is where we can reflect on the other days and just enjoy each other's company one last time.
And then on day 6—
Hmm, I'm already sad about this.
That is when we will all depart and go our own ways. But, um, I think it's gonna be Freaking fantastic and it gives you enough time to experience it.
Yeah.
And not feel like you're missing out. Alright, as most of you probably are aware, we are not travel agents. So, this is not something that we are able to do on our own. So, luckily we have been able to partner with a company called Atomic Trips out of Las Vegas and we have been in contact with them for about 2 and a half years now. There was a time where we almost did a group trip but we simply weren't ready.
Yeah, we got a little nervous.
And so, the nice thing is they were patient with us. They kept communicating with us. And when they brought this idea and this itinerary to us, we said, this is the perfect one!
It is, absolutely! And I think the coolest part is their communication has been so transparent and so focused on what we want as travelers and what we think other travelers would want to do with us.
Right, and that's one of the things is in the last few years we have been able to start meeting more of our viewers because You come up to us and talk to us. That's really nice. But we've met you and we've talked with you and we've shared a lot of like interests and like travel abilities. Like we want to see and do the same things. And so now we feel very comfortable saying, let's do a group trip.
Let's travel together.
So let's talk details. The price for this is $2,499 per person plus taxes. And that is an all-inclusive rate.
There are multiple payment options that are available on our official trip page. We'll have that link down below. So, the price Josh mentioned is through Atomic Trips and what's included in that price? Well, this is an all-inclusive experience and that's meaning the major components are already planned and coordinated and included in that price such as hotel accommodations.
Also, full trip planning and support from Atomic Trips.
A digital itinerary, so think an app. We're all gonna have an app to have our plans on.
Scheduled airport transfer in Paris.
Our group transportation, including getting to and from Brussels.
Scheduled group meals.
Guided experiences.
And there will be a local guide with us to tell us all about this stuff, because if you're like us, most of the time we're just scrambling at the last minute to figure out what is important about things, but with this you don't need to research. Somebody's going to do it for you.
And one of these pieces that sometimes ends up being an upcharge is not here. Professional photography and videos. So as we mentioned in many of the days for the itinerary, there's professional photo op times available. That's included in that price. So you're going to have memories that'll last a lifetime.
And also included is going to be beverages at the scheduled meals.
Alright, we just gave you the list of what's included. Here's what's not included: flights, souvenirs, meals, beverages, and activities during our free time, and travel insurance.
Alright, and the great thing is once you decide to join us on this trip, you are not alone in planning. You will be able to have Zoom calls with Atomic Trips to help with any questions.
Yeah, and they'll be able to help with any questions that arise, including a preparation checklist and tools and resources throughout the planning stages and the trip. Such as the app.
And once you join, we will set up either a private Facebook or Discord where we can then connect with you before the trip.
And please know this is a small group, so space is limited, and there are multiple payment options. And again, as I said at the beginning, if not now, when? We really do look forward to traveling with like-minded individuals who want to see, do, and eat as much as they can in Paris. Oh yeah, and Brussels! While we're there next September.
All right, well, you talked me into it, and I guess hopefully we talked you into it as well, and we will see you in Paris next year.
