What people love about Fully Guided Tours in France
- WWII D-Day Landing Beaches & Battle of Normandy
This was the best guided tour that I have ever taken (other than cruise tours). This exceeded my expectations. The attention given us (as a group), the accommodations, the flow of the tour were all very well done. The days were busy. We saw a lot more in those four days than if I had attempted this trip on my own. I will be doing business with your company again, shortly.
- 3-day Guided Normandy : D Day Beaches, Mont Saint-michel And Loire Valley Chateaux From Paris
The trip was booked for 5 Sept and confirmed. When I got there it was booked for 5 Oct. where was the mistake. Luckily it was not fully booked
I've been doing cycling trips with The Chain Gang for 8 years now. For me, the way they run these trips in France and Italy, is the perfect balance between safety and freedom. You don't feel you're a part of a tour package. It's more like a self guided tour with your friends, but one of them (the guide) happens to know the way and the secret spots better. There's is no support van babysitting you and you won't miss it. The hotels are all very good 2 and 3 stars choices and you feel very welcome, in some cases, by the owners themselves. The dinners are all awesome, always in great places selected specially for us. Their bike choice is very good as well - basic and reliable. So good that I bought one myself when I returned back home the first year. I love the atmosphere of the groups and have been making a lot new friends every year.
