French Riviera Tours in July 2027

It was a lot of time on a bus and most hotels were for only one night each but I don't believe we could have seen so many wonderful places in France any other way. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and personable.

Was looking for a bit more explore time. I did buy all optional excursions so I do understand I probably used my explore time doing those. Everything was so great I wanted to spend more time at each stop. My tour Director was the BEST! Her knowledge, enthusiasm and energy was so great! Even when her group was tired and done she was so positive energy that we all pushed through. I am Gluten Intolerant and signed onto this tour advising of my dietary needs. I was thrilled that I was so well taken care of - I know going forward I can trust Trafalgar to do another trip with confidence. Thank you -- PS - It would be nice after doing two tours with Trafalgar that we received a coupon or a special discount.

Dear Ms ************, I am writing to express my profound gratitude for the extraordinary experience you provided as our tour director during our recent journey through France. Your passion, expertise, and thoughtful gestures made this trip an unforgettable and deeply meaningful adventure for my family and I. Your deep knowledge of France’s history and culture brought each destination to life in a truly remarkable way. From the iconic Avignon Bridge to the awe-inspiring medieval fortress of Carcassonne, every stop was enriched by your engaging stories and insights. In Arles, your guidance through the places that inspired Van Gogh’s masterpieces, like the vibrant garden and the famous café, made us feel as though we were stepping into his paintings. The visit to Lourdes was profoundly moving, especially the moment we experienced the holy water from the Grotto, thanks to your thoughtful organization. The Basque Country was an absolute highlight, with its unique charm and vibrant culture, and your expertise made it all the more special. Exploring Giverny’s Monet gardens felt like walking through a living work of art, and Mont Saint-Michel was nothing short of magical, with your commentary adding depth to every moment. The visit to Normandy, together with the breathtaking American Cemetery Memorial, was a profoundly moving experience that left an indelible mark on our hearts. Your personal touch in sharing your family’s Normandy event added such a meaningful and intimate connection to the region, making the visit even more special. Throughout the journey, the lovely churches we visited were a testament to France’s rich heritage, and your presence of mind in allowing us extended time to pray at these symbolic sites was deeply appreciated, fostering moments of reflection and spiritual connection. Your thoughtfulness extended beyond the itinerary, as you went out of your way to purchase local treats for us to celebrate the vibrant cultures of each region. These small but meaningful gestures made us feel truly immersed in the places we visited. Your warm and approachable demeanor created a sense of camaraderie within our group, and your seamless management of logistics ensured every moment was stress-free and enjoyable. Your ability to balance detailed planning with spontaneous acts of kindness made this trip truly exceptional. On behalf of my family and I, thank you for creating such cherished and meaningful memories. Your dedication as a tour director is deeply appreciated, and we hope to have the pleasure of traveling with you again in the future. With heartfelt thanks, Derick Samuel South Africa Traveller – Best of France Tour June/July 2025 Dear Pasquale and Trafalgar Tours Team I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service provided by our coach driver during our recent Trafalgar Tours trip around France. His professionalism, courteous demeanor, and remarkable driving skills made our journey truly memorable. Navigating the busy streets and roundabouts of Paris, the narrow countryside roads, and challenging parking situations, he demonstrated extraordinary skill and precision. His ability to manoeuvre the coach in such demanding conditions was nothing short of impressive. Beyond his driving expertise, he ensured passenger safety during disembarkation, maintained a spotless coach each evening, and always presented himself impeccably. His patience, friendliness, and tolerance created a welcoming and secure environment, and at no point did we feel unsafe. His dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety was evident throughout the tour. Please convey our gratitude for his outstanding service. He is a true asset to Trafalgar Tours, and we look forward to traveling with your company again. Sincerely, Derick Samuel South Africa Traveller – Best of France Tour June/July 2025

A lot of times on the bus but the stops are so worth it. Our TD was super efficient and lucky enough to be with tourmates who were generally disciplined with the schedule so was able to get the most of the visits. We found the stops from Nice all the way up to Villandry to be the most interesting.

Everything was very nice very good. The best thing was the director . She was wonderful. She kept us busy relaxing time. Relax ..everything was on time. We go to. vacation a lot this one was one of the best ones I think because of and again 5+ star for I would love to go another vacation with her. And we were eight friends together and they all loved their Vacation and again.

Great trip! We truly enjoyed the Best of France itinerary. Yes, we spent a lot of time on the bus, but considering how much we covered, it was expected. The trip is very busy and packed with agenda - we purchased all additional excursions and we were going non-stop. This trip does make you tired, but we saw so much, experienced beautiful places, and met great people. Our guide and bus driver were excellent! I consider this trip to be like ‘wine tasting’ - you get to see many different places in a short amount of time, and then you can go back and re-visit your favorites. The only recommendation I would have for Trafalgar is to change the first dinner venue in Paris - that place was horrible. And if it’s a ‘kick off’ dinner, it sets a negative tone for the rest of the trip. The optional excursions were all excellent and I highly recommend them. If we did not sign up for those, our trip would not be as good.
