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.

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.

FRNever use France. com for your France tours. We are left on our own and there is no office in France for us to call. We were promised hop on bus tickets but didn't receive it. We were not picked up in the train station in paris and had to pay for our rides from our hotels in nice and avignon to the train station. So far, we have not received our voucher for the Louvre and don't know if we will have a transfer at the end of our tour to the train station. Stressed out and not enjoying our vacation. Thank God they did okay with our hotels.

GBThe perfect way to grasp The Dordogne I went on line back in April to research how best to see The Dordogne without having to navigate on our own. I feel so fortunate to have come upon this tour and also the one we enjoyed the next day. Everything worked and was so well planned. An important aspect were our two guides, Anneliese and Marion. They were so enthusiastic and articulate, open to warm conversation and lots of insight into what we were seeing. Truly, you could not find any better way to make the acquaintance of this history-rich area than with these tours.

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.
