Best of France

Great tour leader and driver a good range of destinations and options also great local guides. A little extra time at some places would have been good but I realise that is difficult when covering many different attractions. Overall it was a great introduction to France especially for first timers like myself and I would certainly recommend this tour to others

The trip schedule was too ambitious and needs to be restructured. Too much time is spent on the motor coach traveling. Several sites such as Carcasonne, Mount St. Michel, and Giverny were too crowded to enjoy. Only 30 minutes were spent at Normandy due to late arrival. Avignon was a waste of time as there's not nothing inside the papal palace to see. I don't recommend this tour and regret the amount of money I spent on it.

Prepare yourself for long days, you must be physically active. There are cobblestone streets and steps to negotiate along with swift walking. Women prepare to squat over toilets in truck stops and other places. There are no toilet seats. Also some toilets require one to one and half euros. You are hurried in most places and don't have time to really immerse yourself. You will see a lot of beautiful country and meet wonderful people throughout the tour.
