France Group Tours

This was my first cycling tour and had a wonderful time. Our tour leader kept us appraised of traffic, road conditions and what to expect when approaching challenging or especially scenic portions of the ride. The pace was leisurely and everyone was able to keep up. Everyone hated to have to say goodbye at the end of the tour and we'll all cherish the memories of our shared experience.

The tour was a perfect amount of time to see some excellent parts of Europe. The hotels were clean and comfortable. Our guide was amazing at managing our expectations and knowledgeable in all the areas we travelled through. recommended shopping spots and places to eat, which were all fantastic. Our driver was skilled, we felt safe & comfortable with him. We quickly learnt to trust in & , and our trip was enjoyable & comfortable.

Great itinerary. It would have been nice to know the price of the optional tours ahead of time and also if one did not do the tours, what the options where.

I am extremely happy that I was able to joined the Europe Whirl trip with Steve Pearce as our travel Director and Ben our driver. Steve Pearce as a Travel Director was very outstanding in all areas, and very competent as he knows what he is doing. He exceeded beyond my expectation. He managed the entire trip with exceptional skills, care & professionalism. I was amazed & thankful on how he was able to handle exceptionally well with my husbands dietary requirements. He can easily managed a situation and slightly deviate our itinerary due to weather condition. Because of his professionalism we were able to enjoy the beauty of Mt. Pilatus. Also he was always checking on everyone of us if everything is ok. I also appreciate the little goodies he shared to us in the bus. It was also very informative as he always shares information/history about famous sights/persons etc. He handles everything with care as we dont worry anything .We just need to be punctual and excited for all the surprises along the way. Ben our driver was very nice and helpful . We feel safe as we travel because he is an expert and knows his job well. He handles our luggages with so much care. We are just so lucky to be in this group. Everyone is friendly and accomodating. I would surely used TRAFALGAR on my next travel and will definitely recommend it to my friends. Again thank u very much Steve and Ben.

If one needs to explore “The Best of France” literally, this is the itinerary that one needs to opt for from Trafalgar. Immaculately tailored and will give you a feel of real French Flavour across the Southern France including part of North Western France, covering both Mediterranean and Atlantic Coasts. The medieval country side, covering Provance and Normandy, the vineyards and the other cities like Lyon, Bordeaux and Monaco ( a separate country and one of the smallest ) including Hondarribia, a bordering sleeping town in Spain, bordering France will definitely make you feel, Paris is not the “be all and end all” of France. There is more to explore beyond Paris. As an Indian, learned the cultures, the local lifestyle, the French cuisine, not to talk about the French Rose’ and Wines. This trip of ours proved ( and it happened in the insistence of my best half, Chandrima, France wasn’t a cliche’ ! “Emily in Paris” justified that. And now it is the “MOOKERJEEs in FRANCE”. Trafalgar excelled in all parameters. Kudos to Ms. our TD and , the ever bubbly man behind the wheels and definitely not the least our fellow guests from USA and Australia, who made this two weeks trip a memory to treasure for a life time. And is an Encyclopaedia in herself.

This trip is the perfect balance of a short break that feels like you have been away for a month, in a good way. You are completely at one with nature and in the wild, the days are demanding and you are often leaving at 0730 each day and not getting back until around 1630/1700. You have a long time on your feet with big ascents and descents, all whilst surrounded by incredible mountains. I went the first week of September and we had a mixture of weather, which really gave us the full hiking experience, instead of being upset that it was raining with zero visibility, you were happy to be out in the elemensta and conquering cols. You will have switchbacks for breakfast and sore legs for dinner, however, if you are up for a challenge and enjoy the outdoors, good food and comradery then this trip is absolutely for you! 1 peiece of advise, pack light, and then if you think you have packed light enough, pack even lighter than that!
