Loire Valley Delight NO HOTEL HOPPING caught my eye! Everything we needed was there for us. The Loire Valley Tour was a fantastic experience. Guide, Christy, was so knowledgeable concerning the royalty and four chateaux, even humorous but so interesting. Our chauffeur, Christine drove us carefully from city to city and threw in many interesting tidbits regarding French history, as she is a native of the area. The cooking classes (and eating and drinking absolutely delicious wine from the area) were a favorite of mine...hands on experience with the best master chefs. I was able to cook some of these recipes when I returned home. Thank you to Damien, Louisa and Fred, Angelique and Christoph, our master chefs who welcomed us into their homes or restaurant. The OTBP Loire Valley Tour does not disappoint, it delights!!! Merci, Pat Weichle

We enjoyed the trip so much We enjoyed the trip so much, our guides Philippe and David were very professional, humorous and knowledgeable. On our last day, Philippe took us to buy cheese and olive paste which we brought back to Singapore. Whenever we enjoy our cheese with champagne, all the beautiful memories from off the beaten path will surface in our mind. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Stellar experience Stellar experience! Off the Beaten Path is a cut above other tour companies. Everything is carefully chosen for a traveler’s delight. The highly professional, gracious and caring staff has thought of every detail. Food was spectacular, sites fabulous, lots of laughter and memorable moments. Staff is also highly knowledgeable of the area. You won’t be disappointed....don’t miss it!

This was a trip of a lifetime This was a trip of a lifetime! Everything was superb. Gourmet meals. Active, but not-rushed, schedule. And, of course, wonderful wine. Most important, though, our guides Philippe and Summer (as well as our driver, Philippe… yes, two Philippes!) were knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. They even provided a special last night dinner birthday celebration upon request. Beyond!

Lovely 5 days Lovely 5 days. One hotel and reasonable pace of activities, not to mention the perfect weather made for an enjoyable " tour". Highlights were wine tasting and lunch in Chateau Neuf de Pape and swimming in the sea in the pretty town of Cassis. Despite how close to perfect it all was I still find the cost to be very high. I guess my Canadian dollar doesn't go very far!
