What our clients are saying about their France tours
The group was an excellent size, lovely guide and bus driver. Plenty of time at each stop, and Meghan our guide was very thorough in both informing us and setting us on our way for our free time slots. Hotels okay, but the Relais hotel in Parisshould not be allowed to let room 111. It is not up to standard. and actually, most depressing to be in. All in all a great trip.
Vineyards and Mountains Back Roads Tour was definitely that and the back roads were stunning. We loved the wine experiences, talks and tastings in Chablis and the champagne district. The cheese making was another very informative day on the edge of The Alps.The mountains, then the Alps and then the high plateau and gorges going on down to Provence were read more spectacular. We loved the way the guide could slightly change the itinerary on the journey to suit the clientele and these changes obviously had the permission of Head Office. Our experiences were uniquely French ad a very satisfied group found the tour inspiring and educational. Thank you.
Everything about this tour was wonderful. The scenery was amazing, even more spectacular than I could possibly have imagined. The backroads company certainly lived up to their name and we took the most scenic routes through villages and mountains. The pace was great, we had enough time to savour the experience and not feel rushed. Our tour guide Eva read more was the best and our driver Kasper was also very good. The group size was just right and made for a very enjoyable time together. The booking process through Global Journeys was also easy. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Excellent Trip with efficient Tour Director Ultimate FranceGeorge and Chithralekha, NSW, Australia, May 2025
Beautiful little Villages South of France. Much nicer than visiting large cities. A nice full length coach with only 40 seats provided ample space for the 22 participants. The fast train travelling up to 320 kph was a nice inclusion. Excellent hotels included. Krista our Tour Director was excellent.
