What people love about 2-week France tours
- Grand Tour of France
Mike, our tour director and Tom, our driver, did very good job to guiding us trough a busy program. Mike did a very good job organizing our tour. We had to be on the road quite early in the mornings but we were, most of the time, the first ones at our destination so we beat the crowd. He always provided some free time to discover on our own. I wish we didn't have to drag our luggage trough small hotel lobbies. Imagine 47 people going in small lobby with two luggage at the same time and doing it again when you are leaving in the next morning. Most of the hotels were adequate except when 37Celsius no air conditioner, no fridge in the room, no ice bucket. In most of the hotels the staff gave us ice when we gave them our plastic ice bag, except in Nice where one of the ladies at the front desk explained that the ice only for the bar. For our question; so where can we buy ice, the other lady at the front desk chimed in, out the door turn right and right again! That is not costumer service. The included food was good.

Although the Europamundo method of changing buses, drivers and guides several times during the tour was something I wasn't used to, it all worked out. It was a packed itinerary that allowed me to see many beautiful places I hadn't been before and everything generally ran close to on time. The hotels exceeded my expectations.
- Highlights of France
We had a great tour with Nicolas and Gael all across France! Let's hit all the positives. Nicolas was a GREAT tour guide. He was knowledgable, warm, personable, and kept things moving along smoothly. Gael was an excellent driver of a very nice coach. The ride was smooth and even in traffic, Gael had everything under control. The local guides were terrific. I want to warn you though - this tour is exactly what it says. It's 21 cities in 12 days. And that's a grueling pace. Now, we got a taste of most of the best French locations, about 2 or 3 hours in each city along the way. It was like a tapas of France - you have enough time to get a good feel for the city you're in. We never felt rushed, but we never felt like we could just lounge around either. However, to keep this pace up for two weeks is a bit rough. We love the fact that we did this tour, and that we got to see all of these places. Having been there, we now know exactly which ones we want to go back to, and which ones we can skip next time. But never again! It's just too much for us senior citizens to have to haul our bags and unpack and repack almost every day. (There are a couple of times on the tour where you spend two glorious days in the same hotel, but those are few and far between!) Again, if this is what you want - to see most of France outside of Paris - then yes, this is a GREAT tour. We had a GREAT time, and this is exactly what we wanted to see/do. But, if you want more than a couple/three hours in each location, and you want to stay in one city for a few days as a base to explore others, than this tour is NOT for you.
