Paris Explorer Trips

Loved this tour. Had a great knowledgeable tour guide and learnt and saw so much. Great having 3 nights in Annecy and plenty of time to explore on our own.

La Belle France was an excellent tour, with a friendly, knowledgeable and good humoured guide (Marie) and a very safe and reliable driver (Alex). The group size was perfect - 14 tourists, and the organisation and paces we visited fulfilled all expectations.

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

Well designed itinerary and excellent tour leader and driver. Great to visit towns such as Dinan and Chinen. Loved being able to arrive at Giverney early and visit Monets garden house and the village. Honfleur glorious and enjoyed the two nights there. The dinners were excellent, the hotels well located and pleasant - with great staff. The timings were great - allowing time to get between locations with plenty of time for independent exploring. Highly recommend.

Knowledgeable guides, excellent tour director and coach driver. I only wish they could have focused either on WWI or WWIi. I would also have liked seeing a concentration camp.
