France Tour & Travel Companies

I had an amazing experience on the 14 day tour. After Covid lockdowns, my daughter and I were eager to travel overseas and see places we haven’t been to. Everything on the tour was so well organised and the tour guides Enmanuelle, Phillipe and Oksana were very informative and knowledgeable. They all did an exceptional job. All the hotels we stayed at were very clean, spacious and had a big variety for breakfast. The only suggestion would be to have the option for travellers to return to hotels earlier. Days started early and involved lots of walking and the free time should be an option to return to hotel. A note to travellers would be to be cautious In Amsterdam of dodgy uber drivers asking you to cancel trips and to pay in cash. Also in shops if you don’t see the price for an item don’t tap your card for purchases because you will be in for a big shock when you check your account balance.

Thank you for a fantastic 22 days travelling from Paris to Barcelona in December 2022. It’s a great itinerary, your guides are so helpful & free time after city tours let us see our own favourites. My wife, 82 y.o. mother & my 17 & 20 y.o. girls travelled from Australia & we all loved seeing Europe with your tour. Thanks for a memorable trip for all of us.

We had a fabulous time on our Trafalgar European Traveller tour. Pete, our Tour Director, was amazing with the knowledge he was able to share on each location that we visited. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone interested in European destinations

Awesome tour guide and driver with a good balance of optional experiences

Hotel selected was at most a 2* with no amenities (even the vending machine was broken), no ice and a VERY SMALL SHOWER STAND (I’m 5’3 and 130lbs) that has not been updated in some time unlike the pictures on the website. I think I was in the worse room in the hotel in a back corner with no hall lights up until I was 1/2 way up the corridor. The people at the front desk while nice, new nothing about the city to help a tourist, like how to take the bus to the next town. As for Wingbuddy itself, the driver was late to pick us up and then stood at the very front with a small sign so then we couldn’t even find her when she did arrive. The tour days were incorrect on both the e-mail sent to me and on the itinerary sent to the hotel for me so almost missed my trip to Monaco because not only was the day incorrect so was the time and they gave me five minutes to be ready from a dead sleep. I have also reached out a few times while here on these issues with no response from Wingbuddy. Would not recommend.

The locations were beautiful. The drivers were great and quite knowledgeable. They also arrived on time for pick ups. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because we barely had any time to meaningfully see most of the places. We were only given 45 minutes in Cannes, 40 minutes in Antibes, 30 minutes in Eze, 25 minutes in La Turbie and only 30 minutes in Monaco. We couldn't even sit down to get a meal or really see the towns. By the time we started exploring, we would have to head back. It was awful. If we were given at least 1.5 to 2 hours in each place, I would definitively have given 5 stars.

Hotels - Malmaison, Nice - well located and good breakfast. Our room not made up one day. Best Western, Aix en Provence - modern hotel with large room. No English Channel on tv. Located in a sketchy district, roughly 3/4 mile from Tourist Centre where we had to go for tour pickups. Long walk there and back for older people especially after dark. Hotel closer to tourist area would be better. Tours & Guides - Driving tour of Nice area poor. Mostly just a ride dodging traffic.. Guide did not accompany us in major stop of Paul de Venice. Day 2 mostly driving. Little guide input. Missed one location because 1 hour picking up and dropping off passengers. No transport to train station. Hard on older people in a strange city and not familiar with train travel. Should. Be changed. Aix en Provence - Day 1 tour - great tour with Adrian - great commentary and local insight. Day 2 tour - itinerary too ambitious - 9 hours too long. Very little input from guide. A lot of driving. Travellers should be informed earlier of their hotels and arrangements.

The tour was not as I expected, I expected a tour where you were with the same group, picked up at your hotel and had someone to coordinate everything. This was a series of tours by independent operators and you were left to your own devices to get to your starting point every day, this was what I was hoping to avoid by booking a tour.

Excellent tour guide and well balanced trekking your.

It was a great experience with friendly staff, tour guide and great communication prior to the tour. I personally think it should not be rated as a 4 out of 5 in terms of difficulty. It was more like 2.5 out of 5, but obviously that is a subjective experience. The name of the tour can also be a bit misleading as you don't hike Mont Blanc and only hike through the Alps in the French and Italian side, which is absolutely amazing and breath taking, so I suggest changing it to Alps Explore instead of Mont Blanc explore ;) In sum, I recommend it and you will meet fun people to share this experience with.

The tours that were part Provencal Discovery were great. The leaders were interesting and seemed to know their subjects. The hotels themselves were good. The locations were, in Aix-en-Provence, poor. The most troubling problem was, we never received any voucher without first requesting it. The train tickets for Aix to Avignon arrived, after I requested them, 1-1/2 hours after the reservation. There needs to be more attention to these details before I could recommend Tourradar.

If you want to discover Paris in a 5 days and get the most of the Ville Lumière, this tour is definitely what you are looking for!

Wonderful guided hikes, all different and amazing views. Tourradar really surpassed all my expectations. From a wonderful hotel - stayed at Richemond Hotel, in the centre of town to the amazing prepared lunches and restaurant dinners to our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Nichole. Thank you Nicole for your energy, patience, calmness, and expertise both up and down each mountain adventure. You made our trip a wonderful

Fabulous leaders and incredible route - pathways along the river or back country roads or cycling through small cute towns. Mostly flat - and very nicely paced with coffee and photo stops, or lunch, or a chateau visit! Only reason this didn’t get excellent from me was some of the hotels could have been better (and their free breakfasts)

Organization excellent. Two negative experiences include trying to travel by rail from Tours to Bordeaux, check in to hotel, and get full use of Bordeaux city pass in one day. Hotel Mercure was located far from city center and accessible only by long walk from tram or very crowded bus. Also, bilingual walking tour of Bordeaux was crowded, and would have been much more efficient if smaller and English only. The other arranged experiences were excellent. High praise for the car tours of the Loire valley and Bordeaux countryside with excellent winery tours and tastings.

It was expensive and the hotels were not great and the add ons were not worth the money especially the moulin rouge. The tour manager Tayla was not flexible and some of what she said was not factually accurate. Paulo was a good driver.

Great sites. Saw many historic things on my list. Having to carry suitcases not so great.

A lot better than expected. Highly skilled personnel , friendly, talking care of you in an almost personal way We will use croisyeurope again in the future.

The crew on the ship were excellent as was the quality of the food and beverages served. Our stateroom was clean and comfortable. A big disappointment for us however was that this cruise was advertised as an English-speaking cruise and as it turned out my wife and I were the only non-French speaking passengers on board which was a huge disappointment to us. As a result, we did not attend any of the optional excursions or the departure evening gala because we felt very uncomfortable with the language barrier. This was an unfortunate result because we had been looking forward to those excursions and the gala. We were assigned an English-speaking interpreter (Lilla). She was absolutely wonderful and did her best to make sure we knew what was going on. I would suggest that if you advertise the cruise as an English-speaking cruise then the very least that the cruise line could have done was to contact us to explain that we would be the only English-speaking passengers and offer us the opportunity to cancel our cruise with a full refund of course.

Beautiful scenery. Great cycling, with some rewarding sections. We’ll-planned. Excellent tour leader. Nice hotels. Helpful transfers.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our guide, Spike Reid went above and beyond in helping to smooth things and accommodate all levels of hikers in the group. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful and knowledgeable he was. The scenery can’t be beat and the size of the group was perfect.

Philip Orna was a great tour director and Enrico a great bus operator who made the 15 Europe Highlights tour seamless and a life long memory. Nevertheless, I suggest finding better hotels in Venice, Rome and Florence and allowing tourists to dine at the local Italian markets. Overall, a five star experience!

Nothing spectacular. Horrible hotel in Lorrach described as modern by the tour guide. More like IKEA. Overall, the markets were mostly mass produced items. Much more time spent on the bus than actually doing anything planned. The horse drawn carriage ride was beautiful. Day in Zurich was a complete waste with quick walk through town with no audio. The Christmas market dubbed as the largest 3-story market, was one floor of markets at the train terminal. Hours to kill with no access to anything but these few booths and the regular airport-like stores downstairs. Then overnight at airport hotel that didn’t let you reserve airport shuttle. Others cut in front and you were left waiting outside for 20 minutes waiting for the next shuttle. These two days could have been omitted without missing anything.

Excellently organized. Driver & Tour Guide the absolute best Both people a real asset to Tourradar / ParisCity Vision. Places visited were varied, thus well chosen. Enough time available to fully enjoy each place Hotels very comfortable. I had a super time on this 3-day tour from Paris, Return. I highly recommend it. Thank you. KathRyn Krafczyk from Cape Town.

Amelia was a wonderful guide - very informative and patient with questions. You move very quickly but the one big criticism is allowing people to be late - then getting a later start which rushed us through things. We missed time at the cemetery and memorial at Normandy because guides did not know time closings and we got there too late! Hotels were great and foods were great! Driver was wonderful!

Perfect, good company, trips well planned, hotels more than decent.

I cannot imagine a better tour. Laurent's local knowledge in hotels, food, and best roads is unsurpassed. This was one of the best rides I've ever been on. A bucket list for any rider.

There was a large group of 78 people on the cruise which made it not so great

Wonderful trip - highly recommended.
