- JGJulienne· September 7th, 2023I really enjoyed my tour from Paris to Barcelona, everything was organised well. The bus driver was so nice and drove us around safe and the guide Bruno was very knowledgeable of the places we went and made it interesting as well with some humour. Because of the heatwave some of the eating places were uncomfotable due to no aircon.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback during your time in France and Barcelona.

- NNicole· July 26th, 2018Giovanna was our tour director, she is very knowledgeable and caring, she has everything organized that we didn't have to worry about a thing, all we had to do is pack our suite case and show up on time. Our trip was packed with fun, great food, culture, and histories. It was very educational. Mario was our driver, he is a great driver, and he also prepared water, umbrella for us, which was totally unexpected. I left my charger on the bus, Mario took care of it, I can’t thank him enough! We stayed in the great hotels, most of them were in a central location, within walking distance to the town center, we had great breakfast every day, all the included dinner were awesome, great wine and cheese. Giovanna took us to many of the local festivals, market places, which were all very exciting, you just cannot stop going “wow, I have to try some!”. Our highlight of the trip was St Paul de Vence! That was a must do, don’t skip it, you will regret it! We had the best local tour director, she is funny and knowledgeable, she was the best local tour director out the whole trip. The only complaint I had was the Vincent van Gogh local tour director, she didn’t say much, which was disappointing, we saw her walking by while waiting for our tour, we had a bad feeling because we saw her leading a group people, just kept walking, did not say a thing. My tour mate said, “let’s hope not to get her!” sure enough, we got her. It was very hot day, I am sure she had a long day, but it was disappointing walking tour. We could have just see it by yourself. My advise to future travelers is to follow the tour, if you choose to do things on your own, you are at your own risks. The people who added own experiences, some had great experience, some had some exciting and adventure stories to share. Overall it was a fantastic trip!Show moreTrip date: July 2018
