Nice Tours in Summer

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.

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.

Tour guide, coach and coach driver were excellent. Sites were well chosen, and the tour guide left us to our own self exploratory at times. Dinners were good but some of the accommodation was a little off in terms of room comfort. Breakfasts were quite good also. Certainly good value.

Great experience, Nathalie was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable. Well-planned selection of varied activities i.e. stained glass museum visit, trips to local vineyards and cheese tasting. Blue-Roads did not dissappoint! 5*
