Paris Tours and Trips

Fast-paced, giving us opportunity to see so many of Europe's highlights in a compressed schedule. Transportation was very comfortable - from the many water taxi rides in Venice to the comfortable coach moving to other cities, to horse and carriage and gondola rides in Switzerland... transportation was a big plus. Also, the many hotels were all comfortable with top-quality breakfasts included. I recommend this tour if you want to see a lot in a short time frame.

An Exceptional Tour Experience Our trip was absolutely outstanding. Our guide, was exceptional — his deep knowledge of European history and the passion he brought to his storytelling enriched every destination we visited. He was consistently informative, highly organized, and genuinely attentive to everyone in the group. The hotels were top quality, and the included dinners were lovely. Every optional excursion was fantastic, offering us the chance to see and do as much as possible throughout the tour. A special mention also goes to our bus driver who ensured we travelled safely and handled our luggage with care at each hotel. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well planned, engaging, and memorable travel experience.

Absolutely loved & recommend the Traditional Europe Tour … Our tour director welcomed us all on the first day. Meeting the rest of our tour guests was relaxed followed by a cruise/dinner that night on the Amsterdam canals . This initial experience was wonderful! A great way to start the tour. Our tour directors knowledge throughout the tour was extensive, his knowledge regarding the history and culture of the places were informative and were highlighted by his vivid story telling, attention to detail allowed us to fully appreciate the places we were visiting. Throughout the whole tour, the local tour guides accompanying us were absolutely wonderful with their story telling and knowledge. There were so many WOW moments on the tour, along with fun & laughter. During the whole tour we experienced top class accommodation which included wonderful breakfasts & fabulous meals. A must do is the optional experiences, you get to see how life is in the countries you are in. Throughout the whole tour we-were made to feel so welcome, the dinners along with music were unique . Our coach driver was a daily delight, his expertise throughout the whole tour was reassuring knowing that he was in charge of our safety and luggage security. I would recommend this trip to all that want to experience a well planned, engaging and a most memorable tour experience.

the itinerary covers a lot of wonderful places. just be aware that this trip covers a lot of territory. so you are on the go a lot. but it lets you sample so many different parts of France…it allows you to discover places you may want to visit on a longer stay. …i’ll be returning to Bordeaux again soon!

This Itinerary (The Country Roads of France) was “Magical”!! The visual splendour and deep history of knowledge, is a memory and teaching which I will always treasure.. "From the moment we arrived, our Trip Director, set the gold standard for travel. He was the perfect combination of skills for the job—dedicated in his region and culture, highly knowledgeable, and a well-organized, confident leader. Logistics were a breeze; he expertly navigated our group through the crowds and secured bypasses for long lines at major sites, making every minute count. On the longer stretches of the drive, he shared captivating historical and cultural insights that kept us engaged without ever feeling overwhelming. I can't rate his professionalism and warmth highly enough! The clever, spontaneous, and “off-the-cuff remarks” that interrupted any mundane moments, always made us laugh and brought out everyones own “wit” to share! This brought us to a wonderful atmosphere within the bus and fast friends were made. Also a “Wonderful” shout out to our “Driver”, such expertise through some very big challenges within the tiny countryside Villages, and Paris. The “Insight” Bus was very cozy and comfortable with the extra leg room, not generally found on most Bus Tours. We had two terrific drivers for safe driving, which was necessary for the length of our trip, always a smile on their faces! Both gentlemen were so polite and helped EVERY Passenger at both 2 doors of the bus get on and off the bus, which most of us “Seniors” appreciated. All Hotels and Options were “Top Notch” totally amazing! Over all, we all had such an “Amazing Time” And we all will be definitely booking with Insight and Trafalger in the Future !!!! Looking at Australia & New Zealand next!!!

Great trip, able to see every site possibly imaginable for a first-time Europe traveler. A little more physically rigorous than these 70+-year-olds had anticipated. Loved the variety of experiences and dining was excellent
