The Paris Dinner at Montmartre and the illuminations tour was amazing! Thank you Thank you!!

I booked my honeymoon through your company from October 5-8, 2015. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our time in Paris. The hotel was wonderful and all the trips were great.
One of my favorite parts of the honeymoon was the photo package. I was not particularly looking forward to the photo shoot, but I am glad we did it. The photographer David Law did an amazing job and captured wonderful images of us! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Paris. He definitely went well beyond my expectations.
The carriage ride was also a great experience! The driver took the time to stop and explain different sights in Paris. Although we had seen the sights while driving, it was great to be able to take them in at a slower pace.
Thank you so much for taking care of scheduling our wonderful honeymoon! It is definitely an experience that neither my husband or I will ever forget!

We were 5 couples who wanted to include Normandy & Versailles on our Tauck trip to France this past June, so we found France.com and were lucky enough to speak with John. What a great guy! We explained what we wanted and he knew exactly how to help us.
As it turned out, our group of 5 couples became 4 couples and John was right there understanding our circumstance and making adjustments to the cost of the tours. On the morning of our tour to Normandy we were met by our guide, Pierre, and driver, Phillippe.
It was a most beautiful 3 hour drive in our mini-van from Paris to Normandy and all the while Pierre answered our questions, gave us interesting tidbits of information, and was just delightful in his enthusiasm. Normandy was, indeed, a moving experience. Seeing the beaches where the Allied Forces landed…standing in the bunkers…visiting the American Cemetery…and all the while listening to Pierre’s commentary…quite unforgettable.
In the end, we can’t thank John enough from France.com for his patience, charm, knowledge, and support. Because of him, we will always have some very special memories. Thank you!

The walking tour through Burgundy was fabulous. Apart from day 3, we foundt hat we would have preferred the walks to be a bit longer.It was very much like a Hansel & Gretel adventure.
Zig-zagging through vineyards,wooded forests, wheat fields, quaint villages, chateaus, picking wild cherries. Blooms everywhere. Wild poppies sprinkling the landscape. The hotel choices were suitable. We discovered a few lovely restaurants and caves.
The weather was very kind to us, warm and sunny. Catherine was lovely and did a good job at explaining our journey and transportingour luggage. The instructions were very well laid out, however, we did get a tadconfused a few times and took an alternate route. Nothing to complain about though, and we quickly reconnected to the original map.
All in all, we were transported to a fairy tale Hansel & Gretel experience. Perfect andwill definitely do another walk in the near future. Possibly a longer one or preferablylonger walking days. In all our walks, although enjoyable and scenic were a littletoo short, being on average 9 kms per day, and one day 29kms.
Thanks for organising our trip and making it a very smooth and seamless experience.
Please thank Catherine for organising a taxi for us on the last day, from Mersault toDijon. Regards Diana P.

I just want to tell you how much we enjoyed the Seine River lunch cruise on 12 June 2013. I prebooked it from South Africa as a surprise for my friends birthday. It was awesome, the 5 star lunch, the live entertainment (that lady has a stunning voice) as well as the drinks served etc etc. I would really do it again if ever I come to Paris as that was the highlight of our stay there.
The service was great, a great compliment to all your staff as well as the chefs in the kitchen. I was amased at the food coming out of the kitchen all at once and very well plated. Your staff really need this compliment from me, Eleanor Lubbe in Cape Town and Alice de Villers from Pretoria (Johannesburg).

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank your company and staff for an amazing American Sector Tour in Normandy on June 6th, 2013.
Francois was an awesome tour guide and went out of his way to make sure everyone enjoyed the day and got to see everything that they wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable of the historic events and answered all our questions.
Her took us to a great place for lunch and even dropped my husband and me off at the bus station after the tour. Your company will be highly recommended to friends and family in the future.
Thanks again!

Our guide (Marc) was very friendly and knowledgeable, he really knew his way around the region including details of places off of the itinerary that we were interested in. The car was luxurious, very spacious and comfortable.
We visited three vineyards; each one had its own unique characteristics -but all offering the quintessential Bordeaux experience of beautiful limestone buildings, knowledgeable staff and of course, excellent wine.
The first location (Chateau Kiran) provided a smaller, more intimate venue, perfect for getting started with the experience.
Our second stop (Chateau Gruaud-Larose) was very picturesque with meticulous landscapes, and sprawling views from a bespoke bell tower near the main chateau. The highlight of the trip was touring their wine vault which included bottles dating back to 1815 (though I’m not sure they always offer this!)
Our third stop (Chateau Lynch-Bages) had maintained some of their older wine making facilities as a museum which helped pronounce the contrast of how things have changed over the centuries. Their location bordering a village square also made it rather unique; they also offered what turned out to be our favorite wine of the tour.
The tour was great! Special thanks to John at France.com who managed the arrangements, which were significantly complicated due to the short notice of the trip and general scheduling challenges of the offseason. Also, thanks to Marc (our guide) who did a wonderful job!
Angie (California, USA)
We truly enjoyed the trip and I would definitely come back with another group of friends and family. We loved the region, especially St. Emilion. Margaux tasting was formidable!!! We like the choices of chateaux that were picked for us.
I must say, our guide Olivier made a great impression on all of us. We were delighted to have him. He was very accommodating, kind and so knowledgeable of the region and the history of the chateaux
France.com, un grand merci pour arranger ce tour pour nous!
