I concluded the UK/Ireland/France trip in mid-October and am still
raving about it. Trip well-organized, and very knowledgeable guides. Can’t wait to travel again.
We reach most of the major cities very late in the evening,thus we hardly see anything in those cities.May be day time excursions need to be planned better
Paris, visiting historic places only seen by me in movies, beautiful countryside and castles. Tour manager so accommodating and knowledgeable, willing to assist with ideas or contacts for excursions during free time. Buses very clean. Of the 6 tours we have taken in Europe, this tour is the most memorable. N
Clever to schedule Paris tours on the weekend when there is less traffic. The long bus rides were nicely paced to include good rest stops and small villages to walk about. Happy to discover Lyon, Nice and Avignon.
Rhi Smith did a fantastic job as tour director and Domenico was a great amazing driver.
Very busy tour but covered so much and learnt so much about each country
