France

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip to France was amazing! The hotels that our travel company choose were charming and located ideally for shopping and restaurants. The guides were all very knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. They were very professional and accommodating for our needs. The chauffeurs were also extremely helpful and very kind.
This travel agency planned everything out to run smoothly and offered support when needed once we were in France. We did enjoy the Loire Valley tremendous but would have a prefer a few less Chateaus to visit. We did have some difficulty navigating the train system. The trains are not meant for travelers on vacation. We had several pieces of luggage to haul up the steps into the train. Once in the train there was not adequate storage for suitcases. Entering and exiting the train was extremely challenging to do in four minutes. Overall the trip awesome and we would highly recommend this travel team.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

One of the most memorable parts of our trip was the tour on the Seine River in Paris. We took the tour at night and saw Paris all lit up and alive. It was a breathtaking taking sight and we experienced the Eiffel Tower in her glory! The Normandy Beach tour offered many touching moments. The tribute to the fallen is unforgettable. The Loire Valley was stunning! Our private lunch at a Chateau was a neat experience.
We enjoyed many things about our trip from the food, the culture, and the kind people we meet along the way!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

No trains!

Thanks for having taken the time to leave your feedback on Zicasso upon your recent trip in France. I really appreciate! I’m glad to hear that you’ve had an amazing trip in France. Well noted that trains were nevertheless a stressful experience, though you were in 1st class, where there’s usually much more place for people and luggage as well. I understand that it might be challenging when you seat upstairs to bring all the stuff down and get out of the train in a few minutes. Our drivers have done their best to help you, and I’m happy to hear that you’ve found them kind and helpful. Be sure we’ll share your comments with our Operation Department and all the suppliers involved in your trip.
