As Americans, taking Le Shuttle through the Eurotunnel had always seemed a little surreal, so we decided to document the entire experience from start to finish. From check-in and border control to driving onto the train itself, we're showing exactly what it's like and sharing everything we wish we'd known before our first crossing.
In this video, we answer questions like:
• How does Le Shuttle actually work?
• Is it stressful driving onto the train?
• How long does the crossing take?
• What is it like staying in your vehicle the whole time?
• Is it worth taking the Eurotunnel instead of the ferry?
Whether you're planning a European road trip, overlanding across the continent, or you're simply curious how thousands of vehicles travel beneath the English Channel every day, we hope this gives you a realistic look at one of Europe's most unique travel experiences.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoy following our adventures, don't forget to subscribe for more overland travel, road trips, and honest travel guides from around the world.

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.
