Much more than we expected. Highly recommend instead of trying to visit a foreign country without a tour guide and driver.

Jo was amazingly organized, knowledgeable and timely. Always smiling and happy to introduce our group to new sites and information. Her communication and first and foremost excellent; always giving us "heads up" before the action took place. I and three other tour companions were gluten intolerant (gluten free/sans gluten), she was absolutely sensitive to all of our allergy needs even providing bread and snacks when we were unable to eat what others on the tour were. That to me is ABOVE and BEYOND what was expected and most certainly greatly appreciated. She was so very approachable, friendly and fun to travel with.Show more

Thank you for sharing your review. While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed your trip overall, it does, however, concern us to hear that there were certain aspects of your trip that you felt could have been improved upon. It's disappointing to read that your experience was not as seamless as you were expecting on this occasion. As such, we have shared your comments with our Operations Department for their review and consideration. That said, we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights from your time away with us in France, and that we have the opportunity to restore your full faith in our guided holidays in the near future.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us; we really appreciate hearing from our guests. We recognise that you would have liked for some of the Optional Experiences to have been included in the itinerary; however, we offer these to allow our guests to explore further or to give those that would prefer to undertake independent sightseeing or leisure time, the opportunity to do so. That said, if there are any doubts about our Optional Experiences, their full details and prices can be found either on the Trafalgar website, in our brochure or in the information pack that is sent to each of our guests before the start of every trip. We do encourage our guests to familiarise themselves with these so as to avoid any potential disappointment once the trip is already underway. Despite this, we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights from your time away with us.
