Oh my God it was a wonderful experience. Not only was the place full of beautiful with its buildings, its history but the ride didn't feel long at all. The moment you pull into the little town you see its beauty...

A full tour of Champagne production followed by tasting the champagnes. So much to learn and Philipe provided so much more additional information. After lunch we continued on to another exquisite champagne producer and finally to the small village, home to the now deceased monk Dom Perignon who is credited with coming up with the process of champagne production. Highly recommend this! You will enjoy.

Absolutely fantastic trip! Serge the guide is one of the best, he has extensive knowledge of the history of France, the life of kings, architecture, arts, and much more. His knowledge of the Champagne region is incredible. An unforgettable day. Thank you!

Champagne / Reims - Karla

(5/5)

The tour was very nice as we departed from Paris towards Normandy. There were some concerns about the size of the van that we were to travel in, but things worked out very well for each of us. The tour guide was helpful with information and ensured we had breaks as we traveled from Paris. We visited a variety of stops along the tour and had time to enjoy a meal and tour other sites as well. We did have an unexpected delay as one of our attendees lost their way back to the departure point while in Normandy, but this was solved by the attendee being assisted by the local police station. We picked them up just a few walks down the road and made our way back to Paris. Overall a very nice trip and experience.

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Jason

(5/5)

I booked this trip for myself and my young adult son who is fascinated by the facts of WW2. We shared a comfortable 8-seater mini coach with two young American couples. Our guide, Reza, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time at the Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery & Museum, before going on to the lovely seaside village of Arromanches-les-Bains for a good lunch and walk around. As well as being great day tour, it was great value and the lowest priced tour of this kind.

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Tony

(5/5)

We had a Fantastic day trip to Normandy, even more than we hoped for!! As it turned out, our small group tour ended up being only my husband & me!!! Our guide, John Baptiste was Great as was his guide-in-training Reno. We saw a lot more because it was just us. The drive was early & long but their explanations of what we were seeing were very appreciated. Being on these hallowed beaches & in these towns was extremely moving, & for us as Americans. We met Many French citizens who Thanked us for saving their country. It was quite humbling, especially at the American Cemetery. If you can, take this day trip. You will not be disappointed!

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Vivian

(5/5)

My family and I were incredibly satisfied with our trip to Giverny. As an artist, I was hoping to get more information and context about Monet, his art and the importance of his work at that time. I got exactly what I was hoping for, mainly thanks to our guide Benjamin. His passion and genuine interest in what he talks about sets him apart from other guides I've had before. Traveling in a minibus with strangers can sometimes be a bit awkward, but Benjamin's positive humor and his knowledge of Paris made the whole trip very enjoyable. We are very happy with our visit to Giverny and we highly recommend booking with Benjamin.

Giverny / Monet - Marcus

(5/5)

My mother and I had a wonderful experience on the Giverny trip in early April. The France Tourisme agency was very easy to find, as it is located next to the metro station, and it was very pleasant to be able to wait inside the agency for our guide, Nicolas, to come and meet us. We very much appreciated his professionalism, his attentiveness and his extensive knowledge. He really did everything to make us feel comfortable during this excursion. We highly recommend Nicolas and France Tourisme to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable experience in Paris.

Giverny / Monet - Christine

(5/5)

We booked this excursion with France Tourisme for a half day in Giverny, after comparing the offers of other agencies. To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect when we booked the semi-private minibus tour. France Tourisme exceeded our expectations, and my wife and I enthusiastically recommend this tour to other travelers. Our guide, Roland, was kind, clear in his explanations, pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and very interesting. One of the incredible things he did was guide us to avoid some of the larger groups during our visit to Giverny. We had the feeling of enjoying a private visit to Monet's house, his gardens and his pond. This visit to Giverny was extraordinary and far exceeded our expectations. An extremely successful experience!
