Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. Hotels were good, included meals were largely satisfactory, and two of the tour guides - Emmanuel Vinci and Esperanza - provided excellent service in terms of providing relevant information and keeping the group entertained with their informative and humorous style of explanation. However,I felt that some stops could be excluded and time given at some stops Carcassone and Arles should be reduced. Europamundo tours are excellent value for money and the arrival transfer included us a big plus in favour of the tour company.

Generally a great tour with interesting places which caters to all tourists. However, bus has no Wifi which makes it hard to communicate for support with agency. Tour guide more inclined to sell optional tours and allow for their own special customers to get their preferred seats which gives an unfair advantage to the rest.
