Fantastic short tour. That covers the majority of Paris's top attractions. We also decided to go on a day trip to Disneyland, which was fantastic. The well-decorated Hotel Tilsitt Etoile was located in the center of Paris. On-time and private transfers to airport took place. We had different guide each day.
Quick paced tour of Europe. Led by a professional tour director, supported by a skilled coach driver we saw the key points from several different countries.
The itinerary was great, though we could have had more info re places enroute (could have done without the hand drawn map though).
Great weather. Lovely trip in all.
Hi,
Overall it was a nice and good trip but i would like to highlight some points.
1. Short duration of personal stroll in some places/towns.
2. The detailed itinerary was not respected. There was a day where we returned to the hotel earlier than mentioned on the itinerary.
3. Another day, we were given only 30 minutes to stroll around Rouen including dinner. How is that possible? we traveled 4 hours to reach Rouen from Paris only to visit and eat within 30 minutes?
4. Breakfast lack options, everyday we got the same things in 5 hotels we were staying. Too much pork options as breakfast and not everybody consumes that.
5. Diamond cutting factory was a waste of time as nobody was interested to visit this. The explanations were so dull and sleepy, they put 40 people in a closed non aerated room and we were all suffocating. I had rather stroll around Amsterdam from morning to evening.
Overall it was a good and nice trip but it could have been perfect.

A taste of Paris linked with the history of France: discover the castles of the Loire between Chambord and Chenonceau before boarding the river boat for a cruise on the Royal Loire river whose beautiful landscapes are legendary. Visit Nantes and The Machines of the Isle of Nantes, a gallery that recreates the imaginary world of the famous writer Jules Verne. Discover Saint-Nazaire and admire its shipyard and the Escal'Atlantic which immerses you in the world of steamships from the beginnings of their gigantic construction to life on board. Soak up the magical castles of the Loire such as Brissac, the highest castle in France whose monumental facades rise up from its large landscaped park.
Cities and excursions visited.

This is a high quality three-day private guided trip for two to six people that will take you across historic sites, buildings, museums, and castles in France. The main highlights of the tour include Mont Saint-Michel, D-Day landing sites in Normandy, and three top castles of the Loire Valley. We will also go on city sightseeing tours of Normandy's capital Rouen and the medieval habor city of Honfleur.
The trip has been designed to offer insights into French architecture, culture and history. Learn more about French Renaissance architecture as you take a guided tour of three top Loire Valley castles: Chambord, Amboise and Chenonceau. In Normandy, explore the region's World War II history as you visit the D-Day landing sites, Normandy American Cemetery and Mémorial de Caen, among other war sites.
We will be traveling in a comfortable vehicle (Mercedes E220 business class car for 2–3 people or Mercedes minivan for 3–7) that travels faster than bus, giving us more time to explore various sights and attractions. We can also customize the trip based on your personal preferences.
This tour was so much fun. Learnt a lot, met a lot of new friends, and had a ton of fun. Would highly recommend this tour, and to travel through Europe in general.
DO NOT GO ON THIS TRIP if you're not ok with joining a group that has already been happily travelling together for a week. This is NOT a standalone trip, you're joining partway through on the European Trail.
