    Rooms very small and bathroom tiny. No choice of meals. Loud announcements early each morning whether you were going on an excursion or not. No chance to sleep in if you wanted to. No advance notice of the final destination port until the day before the end consequently all the direct trains to Paris we're booked out. It cost is an €80 taxi fare.

    I really enjoyed this trip and am now considering another French river cruise with this company for next year.

    Gourmet meals , excellent service from a very efficient and friendly staff. Everything runs like clockwork. The boat travels at night leaving ample time for onshore excursions, though I must say that a couple of the excursions were disappointing. I would certainly travel with this company again.

    The crew worked very to make the trip as pleasant as possible and the chef did an amazing job. I think the land tours could be expanded to include more activity/walking. The tour guides were excellent. Idealy I would like to see more free time to explore a site. Perhaps a morning tour and an afternoon to explore. I found out last evening that 8 out of 20 participants from 1 US state came down with COVID just after the trip. I don't blame your organization and perhaps this is just a risk of group travel.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise down the Rhone. All of the crew aboard Croisie's Van Gogh were delightfully helpful, the food excellent, and the scenery captivating. Special thanks to (Purser) Julie and the Chef and all waiting staff for attempting to manage an eating disorder one of us has.
