Travel Review: Tour of France, Paris, Normandy, Loire Valley, Moulin Rouge, Seine River Cruise, Wine Tasting

This travel agent arranged a sensible, logical, and very ambitious itinerary for 4 people in Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley. She included all the sights on our wish list and suggested other interesting places for us to experience. Our main guides for the 12 day tour were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had many laughs with them and they endured listening to us try to speak French! Having private guided tours enhanced our understanding of what we saw and it was wonderful to not have to wait in long lines. The drivers we had were prompt, courteous, and they went above and beyond when our dinner ended later that the agreed time for pick-up. Our representative stayed in touch to let us know that he was available. Every excursion was first-class and included many extra touches that made a big impact. When we went to Moulin Rouge, we were treated special with gift bags, champagne, and again no waiting in lines. Our dinner cruise on the Seine served an exquisite dinner as we floated past Paris' best sites. The wineries we visited in the Loire Valley were not only educational, but served excellent wines and superb food for lunch. And the balloon ride over the Loire Valley was the perfect way to end our trip in France. Our hotel in Paris was in a great location, the bed& breakfast in Bayeaux was charming, and the Chateau had beautiful grounds to walk around. It was a trip of a lifetime! We can't thank our agent enough for the work she did!
