THANK YOU FRANCE.COM I would like to present my sincere appreciation to John Frydman of France.Com “one-thousand thank yous” for making my wife’s 70th birthday celebration trip to Paris such a momentous occasion. I sent France.Com our travel dates and my wish list of activities. The next day I received a fabulous proposal of tours and one-day excursions. On their advice, we put together the most perfect itinerary for our six-day stay in Paris. To this day, I am so very appreciative to John and France.Com for all their efforts in helping me celebrate my wife’s 70yh birthday. THANK YOU FRANCE.COM! Roger L.

Over-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.

The 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.

Not 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.

An 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.
