ATThis tour was awful. The tour guide seemed hungover, did not know much and kept repeating meaningless information. His directions were poor and he failed to conduct a worthwhile tour. The sights and format were good and had we encountered a good guide, this tour could have been extraordinary. Because of this experience I would not recommend wasting money on this tour.

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.

GBBeautiful day trip to Giverny and Auvers sur Oise! We booked our Giverny/Auvers sur Oise trip with France.com. . Elodie at France.com was most helpful in assisting us with our booking. She answered any questions I had in a timely manner and was so very nice. The company that handled the trip was fantastic. Our tour guide, Isabelle was incredible! We had a wonderful day with her. She was so knowledgeable about Monet and Van Gogh, French history, Paris...everything! It was a very memorable day. I highly recommend this excursion. It was worth every euro!

GBOver-priced It was nice to skip the lines at the Moulin Rouge and have seats towards the front, but other than that there were no perks to reserving through this company. I knew that it was more expensive than booking on my own, but I wanted the security of a ride home late at night and decided to go through this company. First of all, the tickets are cheaper if you buy them at the Moulin Rouge, and the river cruises are as cheap as 7 to 14 euro. What was irritating was how much TIME everything took. I am ok with taking my time and relaxing--but there was no need for this tour to be as long as it was. We waited around after the cruise for a half hour to "eat," but I though it would be a better use of time to move on to another nearby tourist destination--like the Arc du Triumph. Paris is not that big of a city, and all that extra time spent driving between locations/waiting was not necessary if only to pad the time and make you feel like you go your money's worth. The show was good though.

GBOH LA LA, VIVE LA FRANCE! I used FRANCE.COM a couple of years ago for my dream trip to France. I was NOT disappointed!!! I worked with John, who was amazingly insightful, helpful, etc. There was only 1 disappointment, in that the cooking class we paid for was cancelled. I never followed up to seek a refund for that excursion. While there were a couple of other hiccups, it was totally on my part. This was the ABSOLUTE BEST trip I've ever taken. It met or exceeded every expectation I had. I HIGHLY recommend your company to anyone wanting tours without the limitations of tours. This was so much more personal, especially the tours we were on in Normandy. INCREDIBLE!!! If anyone is interested, I would be happy to share my itinerary with you.
