France Tours in Summer

The European whirl was a great way to sample many locations in a short amount of time. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on each area and made the whole experience great fun. In addition, the bus driver was an excellent operator, extremely polite and friendly. Difficult to provide any cons as thoroughly enjoyed the trip. My personal preference would be to spend additional time in Austria and Amsterdam as opposed to Italy/Rome/Tuscany. Am now looking at our next holiday though will be difficult to match the experiences had during this tour.

This was my first trip with Explore! and it was absolutely amazing! I was fortunate also with my fellow participants in our group as they were a wonderful group of people. The guide, Denis, was incredible. His knowledge about the area, the geography, and the flora and fauna was all encompassing. The only glitch I’d say was the lack of wifi in the hotel. The rooms themselves and the food was very good.

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

and I want to send our thanks to all ! As some may know thus is our first trip “”across the pond” and we couldn’t have imagined a better experience. So thank you to Trafalgar for their planning. All the stops and experiences along this tour, the Best of France, have truly been the best!! To , thank you! Your stories, knowledge and genuine kindness is what we believe has truly made this trip so special. I truly believe with any future travel experiences and I have, we will never have a guide as wonderful! To , thank you for your skill and driving expertise. We always felt safe and comfortable on the road, even in the small town turns! To our fellow travelers and bus mates… thank you for your kindness, acceptance, and friendliness! What a wonderful group of people and I hope our paths cross again. Wishing all a safe journey home. With sincere appreciation & .

Our guide, Denis, was excellent. He had tremendous local knowledge, and made each of the group feel cared for as individuals. The walks were all manageable, but with great views

We recently completed the Tour, having waited a few years after a 'covid cancellation' and whilst being fortunate with the weather (there were high temperatures before our trip and heavy rain afterwards), we enjoyed it immensely. The physical challenge was huge, perhaps not unexpectedly and the scenery utterly beautiful. If I could sum up our experience I'd say that our previous two major treks were in the Himalayas amongst mountains almost twice the height but this did nothing to lessen the majesty and sheer beauty of the Mont Blanc region. Any disappointments such as too much shopping for lunch and a poor hotel experience in St Gervais were minor niggles.
