Generally things were pretty good. The hotels were just OK. The one in Paris was in a gritty area. They were clean but very average for 4 star. But maybe that’s what you get in Europe. The transfers were excellent.

Great tour…..saw lots of wonderful places. Preferred when smaller amount of people on bus. It was abit difficult with changes of guides and people throughout trip. Most of the hotels were great….some were abit isolated from restaurants.

Best tour companies for France tours

Based on the tour companies mentioned, here's what our travelers have shared: Insight Tours really delivers on the essentials - their guides Elizabeth and Shona consistently get high marks for deep local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm. You'll stay in upscale hotels and the daily timing works well, giving you enough time to actually experience each stop. If you're looking for flexibility, Cosmos has developed this handy CosmosGO app that lets you explore at your own pace. The schedules are well-planned but we've had mixed feedback about their local guides. A couple of our travelers with medical needs mentioned having some difficulties getting proper accommodations sorted out. For active trips, Explore is doing particularly good work with their cycling tours. Their guide Erwin knows exactly when to push the pace and when to ease off - you'll get your exercise but won't feel rushed. The routes are carefully mapped to give you a proper mix of pedaling and relaxing. Paris City Vision's three-day Normandy tour comes with solid organization and Flora's guiding gets lots of praise. That said, several people felt they needed more time at key spots and weren't thrilled with the meal quality. It's worth noting this feedback came from TourRadar customers who took the trip in the past year. The nice thing about each of these companies is they all handle the logistics - you just need to decide what style fits your travel preferences and energy level.

Best places to start your France tour

Our data shows Paris is the clear winner for starting tours - 48 of our travelers begin there. While you can also start from Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon and also Blois, these cities see smaller numbers with about 4-7 departures each. Looking at booking patterns, you'll want to lock in your spot around 4 months ahead (124 days to be exact) to get the dates you prefer, especially during busy periods. The timing that works best according to our past guests is April through June or September through October. These months give you lovely weather and real local experiences without July-August crowds. You'll find it easier to chat with locals and get tables at popular spots during these quieter seasons, particularly in busy areas like Paris and the French Riviera.
