    The start was a bit inauspicious. We couldn't find the boat!! Turned out it was moored alongside a companion boat with no sign indicating its presence. But from there in was onwards and upwards!! Only 7 English speakers from the 90 passengers, but we were extremely well looked after. The food was excellent - no superb!!, the staff also excellent and the two trips we did to the Ardeche and especially the night tour of Arles were most enjoyable. Recommended without reservation!!

    Amazing cruise. Fantastic food, scenery, tours, and crew. A lack of French language ability on our part didn’t really affect our enjoyment at all. There were enough crew who spoke excellent English.

    Staff & food were excellent. However, with very little English spoken it became slightly frustrating. Having freedom to make tea/coffee at any time would have been advantageous.

    Really nice boat. Great food. Great destinations. Great rooms. However the cruise was entirely in French. we were not informed of this. Therefore we could not go on any of the excursions, understand (fully) the announcements or participate in any of the activities. Furthermore, there was no live music or entertainment. Lastly you advertised a jeep 4x4 excursion. This was not available on the cruise. We were very happy with staff on the boat, in fact we gave a large tip and chocolates. So in summary a mixed experience.

    Firstly I would like to congratulate the Tour Radar team for their excellent organisation of our holiday. You were extremely professional. Our holiday was a good one. The accommodation was great, the food was great, the crew were helpful, and the on shore excursions, particularly the 4x4 safari in the Carmarthen were really interesting. I would not, however, recommend this trip to anybody who does not have some command of the French language, because even though the tour company tried their best to accommodate to 9 non-French speaking guests on the boat, it didn’t work. I some cases we felt very isolated from the rest of the people on the boat. Thank you once again to Tour Radar. We hope we can organise another holiday through your company in the future.

    In 114 passengers, I (a solo traveller) was one of 3 Australians. We were placed together, and got on very well! That was very lucky. The staff and the boat were excellent (though bed was hard), and we had various activities to join if we wanted. There was always ample food, nice beverages etc included. Tour Radar made sure everything went well. Only things to improve - make the embarkation point very clear and specific (despite my written instructions, my taxi driver guessed where exactly to go, and I still had to run for the boat and jump on via another); the site excursions were info-dense, and needed interesting personal stories.
