Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Isn’t it time you nipped monotony in the bud? From fields of yellow sunflowers to cellars of pink rosés, this fascinating tour of France invites you to survey the sensuous land and pick the perfect bouquet. Fragrant gardens and aromatic wines are just the beginning of the sweet experiences that await from the City of Light to the sunlit regions of Normandy, and the Loire Valley. Tiptoe through the tulips at Claude Monet’s rainbow-colored gardens, float down the castle hallways in dreamy Châteaux country, and swirl and sip your way from the lively cafés of Paris to the storied wineries of the French countryside. Traveling from the Seine to the sea, we’ve handpicked the best coastal experiences—the resort town of Deauville, the famous Abbey of Mont St. Michel, and the poignant beaches of Normandy, site of the Allied Forces’ D-Day invasions during World War II.

The dinner cruise in Paris was great.

Your agent was most helpful in setting up this tour. She worked to get me the best airfare at a reasonable price. She always returned my calls in a timely manner.

The efficiency of the tour was perfect. Our tour guide, Philippe, and bus driver, got us to very popular tourist destinations right on time, arriving as soon as sites opened so that we exited the bus and walked right into the historic sites immediately. The Paris and Loire Valley tour included a lot of great sites, but we didn't feel rushed getting from one to another. We had lovely meals in unusual locations such as in a cave, at a picturesque fishing village, and a wine tasting of excellent quality wines at less expensive costs per bottle than in the U.S.

Would have liked to have introductions of fellow travelers at the welcome dinner, as was the case in previous Globus tours. Globus seems to have changed this strategy. This was true for both legs of our back to back Globus tours.

The accommodations were great. The made adjustments to the schedule to make that we saw everything on the itinerary.

This trip was everything I dreamed of. I would definitely book with this company again. No complaints at all from this traveler.

Our tour guide Ricardo was the best we have ever had. Matteo was an excellent driver, always knowledgeable about traffic, safe, and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We were able to maximum our time and see as much as we could in a week. Very satisfied with our experience.

Working with Alex was great. She handled everything and there were no problems encountered any where during our trip. Would definitely recommend her and, in fact, we did while on the trip. One of the other people on the tour asked who we used and we told them Affordable Tours and that we loved the service and the ease of booking the trip.

Trip details were accurate. The bus had sufficient legroom. The guide was excellent. Hotels not city centered but ok. Breakfast was ok dinner better. The opitional dinner at chateau is a most. Louvre tour is short but good...however doing it at end of tour not best time. If you extend your time in Paris there are lots of museum tours.

We had a wonderful trip. Our first time abroad and couldn't have been better. Pick up at the airport very prompt. We also booked travel at the end back to the airport. Everything was on time and courteous .The first hotel, The Pullman, had technical difficulties on our floor and we had no TV. Their solution was to move us to another room, however this was at 8pm at night. We had informed them three times during that day and there was no feedback.

The tour director we had lacked some enthusiasm and his demeanor was standoffish. I don't believe the guide had visited many of the sites before and seemed lost often. The itinerary was executed in a way that lunch was often not before 1:30 and several times at 2pm. The cider tasting was really bad as an activity rated as a LF. The host poured the cider and then left us to it. No explanation on how, why, etc... The town it was in was really a cute village. We on the tour found it, the guide didn't say it was out the back door of the cider area.

With the exception of some confusion at the end of the tour related to how members of our group who would NOT be touring the Louvre would spend a few hours of unexpected free time, the tour met - and occasionally exceeded - our expectations. More detailed information as to the expected start and end time of optional excursions would be helpful for planning purposes.

The tour director was good- but British. She spoke French and Italian but I personally would have preferred a French guide for a totally French tour (Paris to Paris 7 days). Historically and culturally that would have offered much more to the entire experience for me.

Overall a great tour aided by great weather and a great tour director. Most meals were good and accommodations were quite acceptable.

2 night stay at Chateau Breuil --half of people on tour could not stay in main bldg -this is not good because every one paid the same price and nothing was said in advance that there is not room in main chateau for all no wi-fi on bus! Tour director not always on the ball, example -could have been more helpfull about some details, did not do bus safety dvd till 3rd day!

Generally, I feel this tour spent too little time on the Normandy experience. We arrived at the Normandy museum in Caen at 3:00 and departed at 5:00. It would take at least that amount of time for the exhibit without seeing the films.. At the cemetary we were left to wander on our own and were not informd about the museum. I have been informed that some of the landing sites have had some reconstruction of the German bunkers and that would have been nice to see rather than a stretch of beach with houses built on the battle site.
