France Group Tours

Each daily hike was carefully curated by our guide to best fit our group and the weather to showcase the Mont Blanc Tour. Breathtaking! The hospitality shown through our accommodation and food was excellent.

Great: the chalet, the hosts, Chamonix,the guide, the hikes, the rest day, my fellow hikers Not great: the altitude, at least at the beginning, then I got more used to it

Excellent itinerary. Everything was thought of. Good amount of time in places and free time to explore on your own. Hotels were excellent as was the tour director, Laurant and driver. Could not fault the tour at all. France is a spectacular country and worth visiting.Loved every minute of it.

I would suggest to spend more time in the towns where lunch time is offered. Perhaps another hour may allow to see the place instead of just spending time awaiting for the restaurant service. While it is an experience as well often times it is not enough time to explore even briefly the town visited.

This a wonderful well thought out trip with the opportunity to see just about everything! This is why we chose the “ Paris Explorer”. We also got to see Versailles, Normandy, and Monet’s garden in Giverny. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and witty and made this amazing trip a well rounded out experience. It included an outstanding lunch inside the Eiffel Tower as well as other delicious dinners in Paris. Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip - and wished an extra day was attached to each location! We absolutely loved Sarah Dunn as our guide - she was knowledgeable, approachable and so accommodating, we felt taken care of every step of the trip. She went out of her way to support us along the way, such as practical tips for alternate ways to travel on our own like catching the metro and buses. What I truly appreciated was her considerate attention to ensure alternate meals were catered for, especially since I had specific dietary requirements - and the food everywhere was amazing, especially Chez Paul in Bastille. With many not knowing how to use WhatsApp, Sarah spent so much time showing others on the trip how to use it appropriately which helped with their independence throughout the trip. People really appreciated this opportunity. Rest breaks were always well planned and there were many options to eat out. Being out of Sarah’s control was the Paris location (would have liked it closer to city centre) but she provided many options to get out there as often as we could. Both hotels were excellent - accommodation and breakfasts were brilliant. Although I didn’t attend any live shows, Sarah provided many options for a large and diverse group of people - 50+ is quite big for one person - and she did it with such grace, effort and energy. We were so impressed with this trip, we plan to come again in two years with more family members. I can only wish Sarah to be our guide again! In start contrast, we are currently on another Trafalgar tour right know, (Prague, Vienna, Budapest), and I can honestly say, it’s not as well guided as the London Paris explorer…not impressed with the Trafalgar guide at all. But that will be for another review.
