Customer Reviews
This was the most wonderful trip tour I have ever done. 5 stars for accommodation, tour guides, bus drivers and coaches. The places we went to were fantastic. This was my first ever trip to France and I highly recommend it all. There is extra itinerary items offered as an extra cost, that most of us did who had never been to these places, events or meals. I did it all. I still want to come back and explore more. I was so incredibly happy with everything. I cannot recommend these company highly enough for all they offer.
Fabulous trip
Very thorough itinerary. A little bit of everything.
Too busy, tiring
I think you should start the tour with Normandy and then do the southern part
