great experience no tours in English, the staff in charge of entertainment, especially Thomas and Quinteria(not sure of spelling) were extremely helpful.

This is a well organized and efficiently run cruise operated by a sincere and enthusiastic staff. From the moment we told Marta we did not speak French, and she said “That’s a problem,” the staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Tour Radar is misleading by calling this an English guided tour. Make no mistake, this is a French tour run by a French company out of a French city. Almost 90% of passengers were French with a dozen Spanish speakers and two English speakers being us. Despite that, we had a great time and made friends with a wonderful Spanish couple.
