I recently returned from the highlights of France tour and it was truly an experience for a lifetime. Our tour guide Emma burns was outstanding. She was not only knowledgeable about France’s history, culture but also made every day fun and engaging. Emma went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the journey. We were also very fortunate to have Etienne as our driver. He navigated us smoothly and safely across cities, countryside, and winding village roads with such skill and professionalism. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable journey through France.
