What people love about France Tours in August
- Best of France Tour
I recently took the Best of France Tour and it did not disappoint ! The tour was 6-days, even though it could be considered as a short tour I felt like I saw a lot. The accommodation was cozy and comfortable, and the guides were very knowledgeable, also very friendly and approachable. The meals were delicious, and even though France has a complicated subway system, Alex from Eskapas was very helpful to guide me. From the opulent Palace of Versailles to the quaint villages of Provence and the scenic French Riviera, every stop on the tour was a unique and enriching cultural experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore what France has to offer.
- Paris and Versailles
Hotel fine; prefer meet ups at hotel and not at a distant places. Did not have a tour group feel. Airport transport to and from fine. Chateau tour too long; half day better. Did not do Versailles.
Wonderful tour. Top notch accommodations; very comfortable tour bus; courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. Restaurant selections were fine and we had sufficient time to explore on our own. Highly recommended.
Normandy, Brittany & The Loire Valley (Classic)
