Normandy Battlefields Tour - Canadian World War II Sites
Bayeux, France
My Rating

An interesting, in-depth tour of the Canadian sites. Our guide (Lucille, I think) was personable and very knowledgeable. It was great to see the Juno Beach museum which tells the stories of Canadian soldiers. Afterwards we had very pleasant dinner at La Reine Mathilde, a café recommended by our guide. In all, a very pleasant day. I would definitely recommend this tour.

An interesting tour, which was more comedic than scary. I'm not sure I would bother with this type of tour on another visit though.

Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

This was potentially a wonderful day trip. Both Giverny and Versailles were wonderful to visit, and our lunch was delicious. Unfortunately, there was an incident with some members of our group, who were very late returning to the bus after visiting Giverny. The resulting kerfuffle between our guide and the tardy group put a damper on the mood for the rest of the trip and caused our lunch to be somewhat rushed. I'm sure this type of incident is rare, however, and overall, this was a very worthwhile trip.
