Excellent tour. Efficiently covers a lot of countryside and you are escorted by very knowledgeable and professional guides. Great accommodation. Loved Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. We had a great group - highly recommended.

This trip is an excellent way to see a lot of France in only a few days. The tour is a large group, and covered in multiple languages, but the guides (Adrian and Carlos) did an outstanding job of accommodating everyone. The bus and hotels were comfortable. Plenty of time in most of the sites, but I would have liked more time at Mont St. Michel and Chambord. The tour is a very good value for everything that is included.
