A nice and short trip overall. The contiki Team around this trip has been great.
Activities are great but by the amount of time, I felt rush often. We were also advertised an activity thab never occured.
Accomodations, especially in Paris could be better. All breakfasts were good.

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

This was an amazing trip that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a taste of France. There is a wide range of activities so it caters to many different interests and due to the short and quick paced nature of the trip, it leaves you wanting more.

I loved this tour and the people on it sm <3 It was fast paced, wish we had a bit more time in Paris or arrived the day before the tour to get to see more of it. Wish we had a bit more time at Mt. stain Michele to be able to explore all of the streets and check out the shops. The drive times were not too long, perfect for a power nap which were needed after late nights chatting with new friends. Overall, I had an amazing time and met such amazing people!
