GBNot as well as I hoped Normandy is amazing. Our only problem was that the other people were Canadian so they spoke French and since our guide as French, he decided to pretty much stick with that language. They also spoke English so the French was more for the guide than for us. He was supposed to be an English speaking guide. His knowledge of the area was okay but the other man on the trip and I were better at explaining what happened on each beach. However, I wanted to get to Normandy and made it so that was the great part.

GBTerrible guide Guide was rude, arrogant, and uninformed. He said he had left school at 17, and was giving us his version of D-Day. To say it differed from reality would be a huge understatement. When asked about various monuments we encountered he said he did not know what they were. He wasn't "into" them.

GBGreat way to see the French Riviera in a Day. This is the tour you want to take on day one of your arrival to figure out which part of cote d'azur you want to return to. It's a great way to orient yourself. Our guide wasn't quite as knowledgeble on certain historical issues and the SUV was severely uncomfortable, but all in all, it was a pretty good tour. It's basically a guided van around the coast.

GBAn outstanding tour, led by an outstanding tour guide. We boarded our bus in the Caen train station, were escorted to the Caen WWII Museum where we had a great tour with our guide, although the crowds were quite large. Then we boarded a smaller coach for our three-hour tour of five sites, including the American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. Our guide spoke fine English and his commentary was well researched and presented in an engaging manner. He had many photos to augment his discussion. We had just the right amount of time to visit each site before returning to the Caen train station. I would recommend this tour company to anyone wishing to visit these Normandy sites.

AUEnjoying excellence in the Alsace Everything about our Alsace Full-Day Tour was excellent ! The weather on June 11th was perfect. Our guide, Brigitte, was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. The 4 vignerons whose wineries we visited were justly proud of the delectable wines that they presented for tasting with detailed explanations of the reasons for the differences between their products. The natural scenery and the very attractive, well-maintained traditional villages were a delight to the eye. My only regret was that I hadn't booked to stay longer, ... but duty called.
