Nice Tours in Summer

Great tour guide and wonderful group of people Hotels rooms were very small but in good location The Castle in Loire Valley needs a lot of work and had no air conditioning. Food was average except excellent in restaurant in Caen. All in all a great value

Apart from the first evening in a hotel with no functioning air con and temps of plus 30 which was a poor start, the tour was otherwise very well organised with terrific destinations and a good amount of free to organised time. Our tour guide Eva was lovely and accommodated us well. And Alec was a very good and safe driver and our van modern and delightfully air conditioned. The group was mainly delightful company. My only concern related to two passengers, husband and wife, who constantly coughed and hacked their way on the bus and at meals throughout the entire tour. The coughing only abated in the final couple of days. Apart from being desperately unpleasant for the rest of us, it was a small miracle that none of us fell ill. In my opinion there should be a Blue-Roads policy that sick passengers are not permitted to travel on the tour and risk the heath of the group who naturally have ongoing travel plans. We should have to sign up to leaving the tour and make our own return travel plans with your assistance if we are clearly and visibly unwell.

Highly recommend this tour. Every day there was something new & exciting with many WOW factors along the way. The smaller group size was initially why we booked. The beauty of having a smaller bus was evident as we did go back roads. The places we stayed were lovely (except Paris), the food & experiences were wonderful, we enjoyed the free & the 9am starts. Our guide was so knowledgeable & always very helpful, Alan is a credit to the company. You won’t regret booking & you’ll have a fun time. I wish I could do it all over again 😀 I haven’t added photos cause I have too many favourites

From the very first day our guide Alan translated Fench to English for us and made sure we enjoyed and learnt the most we could during our time touring the Champagne, Burgundy and Provence regions. Beaune and Annecy were standout stops. With many history and culinary facts Alan helped us understand life whilst we travelled these regions of France we wouldn't be able to find on our own. The tour itself went through varied rural and beautiful landscapes, visiting quaint villages and cathedrals, all very picturesque and memorable. Loved it all.

The tour highlights were outstanding. We saw so much. And the background information was excellent. Soha was an excellent guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very kind. The hotels were very “French”. However the last three Collette restaurants were just ok. It was exciting to be in the Eiffel Tower despite the food. I would still highly recommend this tour and Soha was outstanding.

Charming towns, so much history and an informative guide made this tour very enjoyable. The group of 15 was just right - any more would have made the bus too cramped.
