Provence & the French Riviera

Great destinations, guide and driver. Again, more wine and food options would improve it eg- no Medoc. A coup,le of dodgy hotels were disappointing.

Tour destinations really great as was the guide…..however 3 star hotels and cramped bus really undermined the enjoyment.

Location of hotel in Arles where we remained for 4 nights was rather seedy. Once inside it was acceptable but where we boarded and exited bus revealed a run down location.

Enjoyed the places visited, superb scenery.

Many outstanding stops along the way. The guide -- Maxime Giron, and the driver -- Ken Piddlesden, were both amazing. Very professional and went the extra mile to make things work. Only suggestion: we got separated from our group and got lost in the Popes Palace. Suggest a guided tour similar to the Abbey, or simply skip the Popes Palace.

Beautiful villages and scenery and a great team on board a small groups tour.
Responsive and informative.

We loved our experience made new friends

We visited beautiful places and learnt such a lot. We stopped, frequently, so we were never in the bus for long

We went to a lot of places, Asia took us to extra places, plenty of stops for photos, our bus driver , Alex was excellent, so helpful and a gentleman
At times I felt there was not much to do or explore. 4 Days in Arles I felt was too long. The hotel in Arles was disappointing, fair walk into town, people with walking disabilities struggled. The area was not good. A lot of men hanging about the streets. All the women felt unsafe, lucky we were in a group, if I was alone I would feel unsafe, the hotel needs to be reviewed. Not up to back roads standards.

Very poor quality as compared with previous B/R tours
See comments on previous tour.

Loverly sites chosen as part of the tour

We were extremely well looked after by the guide Alison and the driver Dimitriu

Excellent tour!
Great hotels, great meals, fabulous guide and driver.

Please see comments, above.

I generally purchased souvenirs and memorabilia from each region
