Jon· September 9th, 2025We had a great tour with Nicolas and Gael all across France! Let's hit all the positives. Nicolas was a GREAT tour guide. He was knowledgable, warm, personable, and kept things moving along smoothly. Gael was an excellent driver of a very nice coach. The ride was smooth and even in traffic, Gael had everything under control. The local guides were terrific. I want to warn you though - this tour is exactly what it says. It's 21 cities in 12 days. And that's a grueling pace. Now, we got a taste of most of the best French locations, about 2 or 3 hours in each city along the way. It was like a tapas of France - you have enough time to get a good feel for the city you're in. We never felt rushed, but we never felt like we could just lounge around either. However, to keep this pace up for two weeks is a bit rough. We love the fact that we did this tour, and that we got to see all of these places. Having been there, we now know exactly which ones we want to go back to, and which ones we can skip next time. But never again! It's just too much for us senior citizens to have to haul our bags and unpack and repack almost every day. (There are a couple of times on the tour where you spend two glorious days in the same hotel, but those are few and far between!) Again, if this is what you want - to see most of France outside of Paris - then yes, this is a GREAT tour. We had a GREAT time, and this is exactly what we wanted to see/do. But, if you want more than a couple/three hours in each location, and you want to stay in one city for a few days as a base to explore others, than this tour is NOT for you.Show moreTrip date: August 2025- DADr· September 5th, 2025Great Tour Director Nicolas Canfin & coach driver Gael Berteau, who making the journey stress free & enjoyable.

Trip date: August 2025 - LBLori· July 11th, 2025Both our guide and driver were excellent, but the tour was exhausting and the accommodations were unacceptable. I've been on several tours and understand the standards of European hotels; these were beyond terrible. Our suitcases couldn’t fit between the bed and wall. The rooms were unclean. One of the rooms had a crack across the floor, an ant colony in the corner, and bugs under the bed. My daughter cried, and when I reported it to the front desk, they handed me bug spray and said there were no vacancies. With no transportation or other options, we got no sleep, and the next day was very difficult.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your experience.

Traveler•Written July 2025do you know what airport we need to fly into? Just to confirm is it Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport?
CostsaverOperator•Written July 2025On the first day of the tour, September 5, 2025 in Paris, you'll meet your Travel Director at approximately 4:00 PM. We recommend arriving earlier in the day to allow plenty of time for immigration, baggage collection, and settling into your hotel before the welcome meeting. Yes, you've got it right, Charles De Gaulle International Airport (CDG) is the designated airport for both arrival and departure for the tour in Paris.

Asked on March 30th, 2025I was wondering it it's possible to join your tour later, for example in Lyon. Due to work matters, I cannot stay abroad more that 7/8 days.
- CostsaverOperator•Written March 2025
Yes, it's possible to join the tour in Lyon, however, there will be no compensation or refund for the unused portion of the tour. With that said, you still have to pay the full amount of the tour.

Asked on January 25th, 2025Will the tour go to any of these places? Will we have enough free time to visit on our own? Would it be possible to stay an additional day if we choose and what is the cost? Is early check in possible?
- CostsaverOperator•Written January 2025
Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame are part of an optional experience. You'll have a welcome meeting and chance to enjoy an optional Seine Cruise and Paris Illuminations to view the Eiffel Tower. Additional days cannot be added mid-trip due to group tour structure. Early check-in is request basis and not guaranteed.

Asked on January 3rd, 2025Do participants actually go onto the island of Mont St Michel? How do most of your travelers get from the airport to Paris? Where are the 4 dinners that are included with the trip?
- CostsaverOperator•Written January 2025
You will only view the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, a brief stop to enjoy the sight and take some photos (off the coach). As Costsover no longer offers airport transfers, guests will have to arrange their own transfers from to the hotel in Paris. The 4 dinners will be at the different hotel you'll be staying at. We are unable to provide which hotel they will be at as our hotels are subject to change.
