Paris Explorer Trips

The itinerary was excellent. Accommodation was well chosen with stop offs equally fascinating. The pace was comfortable. Tour guide (Albert) is a legend. Bus driver (GG) a very cautious and expert motorist. Loved the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tour and would definitely travel with Blue-Roads again.. Albert, from France, was a highly professional, knowledgable and fun tour guide with the ability to build rapport with everyone. He could bring history alive in a simple, accessible way. Both Albert and our bus driver received applause from the group for their skills on more than one occasion! We were lucky to have a great group of 15 or 16 social, interesting, mature-aged singles and couples. The places we visited each day brought new surprises, beautiful towns, lovely accommodation and opportunities for exploration. The group tour made travel easy - I felt safe, could rest/relax on the bus and at the end of each day focus on the social dinner ahead. It was nice to spend two nights in the same locations too. I saw beauty everywhere on the tour and there were numerous highlights.

A large part of the success of the tour was the like-minded fellow travellers. Lovely people and an inclusive group. The driver was very involved with the passengers and was good fun. Compared with other travel offerings, this tour was good value for money.

La Belle France was a wonderful tour, the itinerary was very good, varied and allowed for quite a lot of free time. If you are interested in gardens, chateaux and picturesque towns with timber framed buildings this is the tour for you. Stefanie was a great tour leader, very knowledgeable and adjusted the pace according to the needs of the group. I appreciated the insights into French life that she gave us.

La Belle France was a great opportunity to experience the north of France and learn about its deep and moving history. We were able to see the “back roads” and immerse ourselves in the history of the region. The bus and driver were excellent and complemented by guide Marie who was able to fulfil any request asked of her. The small tour group was excellent company and supported a positive experience. A worthwhile tour for those seeking a more detailed and history laden tour.

A very good and pleasant tour Covered a lot of ground Disappointed about not able to see Bayeux Tapestry. But perhaps add more time for Normandy to be spent . Instead of the Cathedral .A bit of a rush in Normandy, a lot to take in and emotional time to visit the memorial. On the whole I enjoyed my trip with a very good knowledgable tour guide Albert and coach driver who kept us safe.
