- Alana· October 25th, 2018Excellent guide and bus driver. Good tour but accomodation was disappointing. Two nights i slept on a cot which that hotel claimed to be a bed in a 2 bed room. Did they expect me to sleep in the larger bed with the room mate that they had matched me with? Not acceptable. But the guide and busdriver were amazing AShow moreTrip date: September 2018
- Samantha· October 3rd, 2018Fantastic guide and service on the whole. The hotels were basic, but clean. Location for the Paris hotel was not ideal. Itinerary was good, although I felt that some places were given too little time. For example, 2 hours was definitely not enough to explore Mt. Saint Michel thouroughly. All in all a great package, especially for those who would like to travel in groups instead of on their own.Show moreTrip date: September 2018
- PCPeter· June 6th, 2018Overall, this is a very economical tour trip of France. To begin, we had an amazing tour guide who is thoughtful and very knowledgeable. The trip went through many beautiful regions of France. Some stops were nothing to write home about, and some stops were wonderful. The coach is remarkable with nice AC and amazing seats. My wife and I had an amazing time and we would sign up agin. I did not feel rushed at all. Tour Guide did an amazing job remembering everyone's names and stories. Everyone got along well. Trip went smooth with no deliberate delays caused by someone not waking up on time or stopping too long. And, Guide was took into consideration of the famous France's strike so she adjusted the itinerary. Issues: Hotel choices were decent chains, but major issues. One hotel , Mercure, AC was broken and thank goodness we were able to open the windows. One chain, surprisingly, Marriott Courtyard, the water heater broke down.... This is an affordable tour so we did not expect much from the meals. But the included meals were really terrible. There was no effort to cooking the meal. For french food, the meals were atrocious. Mostly, baked chicken with some sides. The other chain, Hippotamous, the service was bad and the food was horrible. A major drawback is that you need to sign up for the optional tour once you are outside of Paris. It is not easy to get around and if you do not sign up(pay more), you are going to be stuck in the hotel. French streets are quite dirty with alot of dog poops, pee, and trash. Thus, wondering off on your own sometimes mean watching out where you walk, and walk far to places. Once you are in Paris, the transportation is easy for you to go on your own. Overall, an amazing trip full of unforgettable experiences.Show moreTrip date: May 2018
