France

My family and I had an incredible time exploring the vineyards of Bordeaux. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about winemaking, which really made the experience memorable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the wine, of course, was exquisite. A highly recommended day trip for anyone visiting France.

The cooking class in Lyon was hands down a gastronomic delight. We learned how to make traditional French dishes from a local chef in a cozy and inviting kitchen. Not only was the food delicious, but the company and the intimate setting made the day incredibly fun and personal.

The day trip to Mont Saint-Michel was like stepping into a storybook. Our guide brought the history of the place alive, and we had plenty of time to explore the quaint shops and cobblestone streets. It was expertly organized and we didn't feel rushed — a perfect balance of guided touring and free time.

Exploring the chateaux of the Loire Valley was a dream come true. The castles were stunning, each with their own unique history and beauty. The tour was well-paced and even included a lovely picnic in the gardens of one of the estates. It was a seamless and beautiful experience that I highly recommend.

A hidden gem of an excursion was the day we spent in the lavender fields of Provence. The vibrant purple stretches were like nothing I've ever seen, and the aroma was utterly enchanting. Our guide was friendly and explained so much about the area's cultivation and uses of lavender.

Discovering the French Riviera with such a fantastic group tour made our experience all the more luxurious. With stops in Monaco, Nice, and other picturesque towns, every moment was picture-perfect. The guide was incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we all had a memorable time.

The D-Day beaches Normandy tour was both humbling and moving. Our guide was extremely informative, providing insight into the historical significance of each site we visited. The respect and reverence for the area were palpable, making for a deeply touching excursion.

My excursion to the Alsace wine region was nothing short of magical. The villages look like they are straight out of a fairytale, and the wine tastings were superb. The guides provided by the agency were fantastic, offering a wealth of knowledge about the region's viticulture.

Canoeing down the Dordogne River was a highlight of our trip to France. The views of the surrounding cliffs and medieval castles were something out of a painting. Not to mention, it was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. The team ensured everything ran smoothly, making for an unforgettable experience.

Taking a guided night tour of Paris was the best decision we made. Seeing the City of Lights come alive after dark was simply enchanting. Our guide was engaging, sharing stories and secrets of Paris that we wouldn't have learned otherwise. The view of the Eiffel Tower sparkling at night will be etched in my memory forever.
