France Switzerland Tours and Trips

The accommodation in particular was excellent. The hotel in Avignon had a a large stone terrace and the country hotel was beautiful. An excellent itinerary, visited beautiful and interesting places. Our Guide was supportive and friendly

The tours we saw were unique and were very good. Insight does a great job sharing the culture of the area. The local guides are amazing. Our tour director was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Our bus driver could not have been any better. The bus is new, clean, and roomy. This was a great trip.

The included activities were excellent and then the addons were great also. Our tour guide, Rob, made everyday fun and kept us all on track. The meals were okay, nothing to write home about. Accomodations were great. They gave us a good mix of activities.

Great itinerary! Consider starting the tour in Nice instead of Monaco. Nice has more places (art museums and new town) of interest to explore compared to Monaco’s casinos. Expand the time to tour St. Emilion and arrive on time for us to tour the museum where only 2 of our travelers were lucky enough to get tickets which were sold out. The Michelin chef cooking class could be improved with more hands-on food prep being done by all travelers with a Chef who actually seems enthused for us to me there. The meal was delicious. Adding hands-on Would have made this a highlight experience with the added benefit of giving travelers a chance to interact beyond sitting across the table having a meal. As often as possible when providing a lunch or dinner, please allow travelers to choose from at least two entree options. Upgrade to better rooms at all of the hotel. Putting us in a base level cramped room at great hotels took away from the overall expectation of a trip of this caliber. The individual car ride through the mountains and village was a fun reprieve from the coach even though the coach is roomy and comfortable. Overall, a fabulous tour with an excellent Tour Director who is informative, engaging and responsive to travelers. Luggage handling/coordination by the driver and hotel staff was excellent. Dinner at the Eiffel Tower was wonderful.

More time spent on WWI than WWII, but that was actually beneficial to me, and honestly, it’s hard to fit both wars (and that only the European theater/western front!) into 10 days. The optional excursions were great as well.

The entire experience was amazing! The scenery on the French Riviera was breathtaking and each day trip was worthwhile and memorable. Our tour included Nice as our home base, but there were many things to do in the old town and modern part of the city including shops, churches, restaurants, and outdoor markets. Included in our activities was a day trip to Eze, Grasse, Cannes, wine tasting on an exclusive island, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
