This hotel was our very favorite! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Since we arrived on a very hot day, we loved having that beautiful pool at our disposal. We were a group of 7, 5 women and two teenage girls, and we all enjoyed our rooms and especially the breakfasts! They were exceptional! The hotel is outside of Tours, so a car is advisable. We did not rent a car, but we were able to Uber into Tours for dinner. We had a private guide who picked us up for our tour of the Royal Castle of Amboise, Clos Lucé and Chenonceau, and that was a great day.

This hotel in Bayeux is right in town, an excellent location to explore this beautiful Norman town. My only criticism is that we had booked a room for three people, but the room was very small. It had three twin beds, all in a row, and very little space to walk around or put our suitcases. If you need a room for three, I would check to see if they have a bigger accommodation. It really was tight for three adults. Otherwise, it is a lovely hotel. The breakfast was very good.

We had a private guide, Marlene, who picked us up at our Airb&b and drove us to Versailles. We had a half day tour which was excellent. Marlene was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the chateau and the gardens. She was so accommodating and friendly. We really enjoyed the experience.

This tour with Camille was wonderful! She drove us to Amboise, where we visited Leonardo Da Vinci’s home, Clos Lucé and the Royal Chateau. We then had a wine tasting, followed by a visit of Chenonceau castle. We loved our time with Camille because she was so friendly and informative. When we asked if she could take us to buy something to bring back to eat at our hotel at the end of our excursion, she was so willing to accommodate us. I highly recommend this tour with her.

We toured the beaches with Emma, and I highly recommend her. She drove us to Utah Beach, St Mère Eglise, where we toured the Airborne Museum, Point du Hoc, and the Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. She was so informative and gave us great insight to what occurred on those beaches. We all learned so much about DDay and we appreciated all her explanations. At the end of the tour, we were able to see the lowering of the flag while Taps was played, an emotional experience for sure.

Great trip. Pierre was an awesome guide. Enjoyed so many aspects of Paris.

OK tour learning about Marseille history

Great trip. Julien was an awesome guide.

This was not a private tour. It was a group tour. We were delayed by 10-15 mins due to a bus route issue. Tried calling agency but they did not pick up the call. The lady at the agency was very rude. She refused to accommodate us in any way. Refused to give guides number. Also said ticket may not work but thankfully it worked. This was a big disappointment.

Final tour was different from St Germain due to food allergy related. Nice tour but details in the tour were not as interesting. Guide was very passionate and very nice.

Top highlights. Amazing experience. Clemence was the best guide of our trip

Wonderful experience

One of the best highlights of trip. Amazing guide and amazing experience.

Great experience visiting 3 villages

Another top highlight of our trip

Gourdon and St Paul Du Vence are awesome.

Our tour guide, Roxane was great. She took us to some small Alscaian villages and told us a lot about the history of these villages. A highlight of the tour was going to the St. Odiel convent. The views were amazing.

Great wines. Guide was knowledgeable.

PM tour felt rushed. I did agree to the PM tour. I would also just take the train next time. It took us 1.5 hours to go 14 miles in Paris traffic.

This was an unexpected highlight of our time in Strasbourg. Dominique was amazing. She was welcoming and had everything well prepared. She kept apologizing for her English, but there was no need as we were able to communicate with her very well. We don’t do much baking, but she was a great teacher. Getting to spend some time with her in her home really made us feel like we’d had an authentic Alsatian experience, and the rhubarb tarts we made were delicious! This was a 10/10 experience!

This hotel was convenient, quiet and clean - just what we wanted. We were able to easily walk to the Tapestry and Cathedral in Bayeux, as well as the British cemetery. The drive to Mont St. Michel and the D-Day beaches was easy from this centrally located area. Parking was great, as well as the lovely breakfast each morning. The staff were friendly and had good recommendations for us.

Conveniently located for our family with parking. We parked the first day and then walked everywhere in Rouen. Five minutes walk to the restaurants, another 5 mins for the Cathedral and Abbey. It was clean and quiet, and the family suite was great for us four. Breakfast was filling and tasty.

Stayed overnight prior to an early morning departure - convenient and quiet. Only seven minutes from the airport and the shuttle arrived as advertised. Breakfast was great - just what we needed.

Because we had a rental car, we could make our own way to Mont St Michel. We arrived in the late morning and spent a couple of hours exploring before our private tour. I liked having time before hand to think of questions, and our guide was great. We walked the causeway both ways - great way to experience the charm of the island!

Our guide, Ludevic, was engaging and entertaining, and we learned so much from our time with him! I appreciated his enthusiasm, especially as both teenagers were listening to him and learning. He covered all the major attractions and easily answered questions we had. His information really enhanced our time in Rouen.

Veronique was great! Her tour of Monet's garden added to our knowledge and made the place come alive! I appreciated that she engaged both teenagers, and then tailored parts of the tour to what they had mentioned. I'm grateful for her care and attention. I learned so much and came away with even more respect for Monet's work.

Although the rooms were smaller compared to US hotels, they were reasonable considering we're in Paris! The location was exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood it was located in. The Italian restaurant across the street was particularly impressive and I highly recommend it. The surrounding area offered a diverse culinary scene with numerous excellent restaurants. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was exceptional, and the overall cleanliness and efficiency of the establishment were commendable. I would be delighted to stay there again in the future.

An excellent commencement to our journey. We were fortunate to witness the city’s prominent landmarks and get a great overview of our home for the next week. Regrettably, we wish we had scheduled our visit slightly later in the evening to experience the city’s illuminated beauty.

Our guide, Tiffen, was exceptional in maintaining the engagement of both children and adults throughout the tour. Through insightful commentary, we gained a comprehensive understanding of the Louvre’s historical significance and the historical context of the artwork it houses. The incorporation of a treasure hunt element significantly enhanced the enjoyment of the experience for the children, who were particularly delighted by the prize they received at the conclusion of the tour. The duration of the two-hour session was highly appropriate.

A must-see attraction in Paris, Versailles offers a captivating experience despite the lengthy commute from the city center. The driver’s entertaining commentary provided an engaging narrative while commuting to Versailles. The audioguide offered a comprehensive historical account, however, its detailed nature may occasionally hinder sustained attention. The gardens are resplendent, though vibrant array of blooms were missing for us during the early spring season. Nevertheless, navigating through the extensive palace can become congested, particularly during peak tourist hours.

A comprehensive tour of an exceptionally grand opera house left a lasting impression. Its imposing architecture and regal aura were truly awe-inspiring. However, the two-hour duration proved somewhat protracted for what was to be seen. Despite this, the guide’s exceptional engagement skills ensured that we remained captivated throughout the experience.

The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the exhilarating experience of racing around the city in a Citroen 2CV, the iconic French car. The exceptional driving skills and captivating entertainment value of the drivers made it an unforgettable experience for all ages, including the children. We captured some of the most memorable photographs with the car positioned in front of iconic landmarks such as the Montmartre, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe. Passersby were captivated by our presence, often capturing images of us as if we were movie stars during our thrilling drives. This unique mode of transportation provided an exceptional opportunity to explore the city while immersing ourselves in its vibrant atmosphere.

I selected this experience for my children, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a remarkable opportunity to witness a genuine Parisian apartment and create our own macarons, immersing ourselves in the authentic Parisian experience. The tour was exceptionally efficient and entertaining. Was great talking to the chef to learn more about French food and culture. If you have a passion for macarons, this is an indispensable activity.

Professional and reliable drivers who prioritize safety and punctuality. The pickup service was provided in a luxurious minivan, ensuring a comfortable and convenient experience.

Beautiful part of town. Lovely hotel. Only note, our room was tiny! No place to store luggage but we were only there one night.

We had 3 days here at this beautiful school turned hotel! They had a great breakfast and helpful staff. Our room was family sized!

Such an amazing experience to stay in an actual castle! So charming!!!

So convenient at the airport! More of a resort feel. Room was large!

I would give this only 3 stars but it’s because of the weather! It was rainy, windy and bitterly cold. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and even added an extra stop!

Was not a guided tour, just a shuttle.

We had a private tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all processes of wine making! She brought along some meat and cheeses for pairing.
