Victoria B. | Traveled in June
Very busy but saw most of the country. Would have liked more time in some places but understood agenda. We had a great Tour Director in Stephane. He was very knowledgeable about all areas and tried to accommodate requests when possible. Plus our driver, Solo was also extraordinary, always p look peasant and very skilled. We always felt safe with these 2.
Jeffrey B. | Traveled in June
It was a fun experience. This was our second trip to France but our first to Spain. Our TD did a great job bringing us all together on the coach which enhanced the enjoyment of the trip. He wanted to be sure he knew about each of us and what we expected from the trip.

The Best of France had a very full and varied itinerary. The organisation was excellent and we were taken to the sites/events very comfortably by superb driver and tour guide. Very informative but balanced by plenty of free time to explore individual interests. The add on optional experiences were well worth the additional cost. Very tired by end of trip but many many great memories.

I have been to France twice before this trip and I have to say this was the best way to see all the provinces and what France has to offer
Bonnie B. | Traveled in May
The tour itself was fantastic. The guide and bus driver were superb. The lodging was excellent. If there is a weak link, it is the food, but we did just fine. Maybe going to France you expect more. It is a lovely tour that gets you into places we in particular had only imagined. I highly recommend you partaking of this trip; you will be so glad you did.
