How do we get a private tour for 65 and86 year old who have been to Paris. We want a short stop in Normandy the Loire Vally and Burgandy?

At this time, Insight Vacations does not offer private tours for two guests. The available option is a group tour with a guided, fixed itinerary. This tour includes brief visits to Normandy and the Loire Valley but does not feature a stop in Burgundy.

We want to visit Paris, Normandy Beaches, Mont St-Michel, Rocamodour, Carcassonne, Annecy/gorges du fier, Annecy/auguille du midi, Colmar

While we don't currently offer a single itinerary that includes all of the places you've mentioned, we do have several fantastic options that cover many of them and could align well with your preferences

I need to make a reservation for a family of 6. Can I deposit the reservation? Could you also provide the cost? Do you offer airport pickup?

The 13 September 2025 departure falls within the final payment period, which begins 90 days before departure. Full payment is required at the time of booking. Regarding airport transfers, we offer both complimentary and paid options. Complimentary transfers are available only on the first and last days of the tour and are subject to specific conditions. For guests not eligible for the complimentary service, a paid transfer option is available.

How many other SOLO/Single Occupancy have booked thus far and please confirm max for this trip

We don't have visibility into the number of solo travelers booked for this trip and departure date. What we can confirm is that the maximum group size for this trip is 40 guests, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Is airfare included in the tour price?

Airfare is not included with the trip, it is booked independently.

Is each night at a hotel, not of the riverboat? How much walking is involved with this cruise?

The accommodations for this trip are at the hotel rather than on the riverboat. This journey is designed to be balanced, which means you can expect medium distances with some uneven surfaces. Typically, this involves 1-3 miles of walking per day.

What is the single supplement?

The single supplement is for solo travelers to stay in a single room. Different pricing may apply depending on the date and availability.

What are the luggage restrictions for the tour?

Each guest is allowed one bag with dimensions not exceeding 30.5"x22"x12.5" and a weight limit of 50 lbs. Carry-on luggage should not exceed 12"x11"x6".

Are transfers available for guests not staying at the designated tour hotels?

Guests not staying at the designated hotels will have to arrange their own transfers as they are not covered by the included tour services.

I am interested in the "Normanby, Brittany & The Loire Valley (Classic, 8 Days)" vacation for 6 people (4 adults and 2 children (ages 12 & 13). We would like to book the tour starting on Saturday, April 13. We actually live in Paris, so we do not need to book hotel rooms in Paris. Would it be possible to book the tour without the Paris hotel? If so, what would be the per person cost?

All our tours are tailored to include hotel accommodation and unfortunately one cannot book without including the accommodation as well as the tour will be in different locations, regrettable the start of each day is something that is curated by the Tour Director and would start and end at the hotel.

Highly recommend! The guides were amazing. Accommodations/meals/experiences were all wonderful. It is a fast-paced tour, and we are always on the move (granted, often from the stress-free convenience of the luxury bus). I might not recommend this tour if you want long, relaxed visits to each town/location. Once or twice I wished we had more time to stroll through a garden, browse the shops, or sit by the beach. However, if your goal is to make the most of each day and see a wonderful tour of some of France's most extraordinary locations, then this is the tour for you!Show more
