What people love about France Tours in October
- French Dream
The 5-day French Dream tour was an unforgettable, wonderful experience. Everything was smooth and well organized, the tour guide was friendly, personable and knowledgeable, explaining everything in two languages no less. The places and castles we visited were well-chosen, beautiful and historic, as well as discovering the quaint, fairy-tale medieval villages. We were also given enough free time to explore these on our own. There was a good variety of experiences including a visit to see the ancient Lascau rock paintings, a descent into another cave with boating on an underground river, and a wine-tasting in Bordeaux where we stayed in a really nice high end hotel. One disappointment was that we did not stay over in beautiful Rocamadour as planned, but in Brivé. The other disappointment was the included dinner on the first night of the tour consisting of a tasteless dry chicken breast and fries, although the starter salad and dessert were acceptable. The quality of the hotels were quite good with big, comfortable beds and full breakfasts included. Overall a very positive experience and an amazing trip which we thoroughly enjoyed.
