    Great coverage of sites and opportunities like eating in Eiffel Tower and cooking class. Sometimes the walking pace was a little quick, which caused separation from guide in crowded spaces. Guides were outstanding and went the extra mile when I was pickpocketed. A wonderful experience. Lead guide Jonathan was informative, humorous and a joy to be around.

    Everything about this tour was excellent. The planned trips, the optional trips, the airport transfers, the guides were all top notch. We packed a lot into a week yet, had enough free time. Everything was well planned and kept to schedule. Bruno, our tour guide was charming and informative and kept us on track. Marco our coach drive was a safe and skilled driver. The specialist guides for certain excursions were topnotch. Bruno coordinated all the guides, driver, and venue hosts with efficiency. It was a trip of my dreams for my granddaughter and myself!

    We enjoyed our time in Paris. Johnathan was an exceptional tour guide. His thoughtful approach to Normandy was wonderful. The hotel was not up to Marriott standards. Room was dusty and thoughtlessly cleaned. The location was good and the bus was in great shape.

    Asked on September 17th, 2024

    would it be possible to travel to the nearby Champagne region and tour some Champagne houses?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten September 2024

      On this trip for day 3, it's dedicated to optional experiences. If you wish to have your activity like a visit to a champagne region and champagne houses, that's possible, but you have to arrange your own, and it's going to be at your own expense since this is not part of the experience. Additionally, you have to inform your travel director of your plan at the start of your trip.

      Joe

      TravelerWritten September 2024

      it says the trip accommodates up to 50 people. How does it work - are we divided into smaller groups?? I usually go on much smaller group tours with a more manageable number of travelers...

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten September 2024

      You will remain as one group throughout this classic tour. All travelers will stay together in a single motorcoach for the entire trip. Rest assured; our expert travel directors are well-equipped to handle groups of this size.
