3 Tagesausflug in die Normandie, Loire und Mont Saint Michel ab Paris

This was my first time doing a multi-day tour. Overall, it was a positive experience and I plan to travel this way from now on. Pros: The tour guide arranged almost everything. All I had to do was show up and follow along. It was so nice to sit back and enjoy. There were only 22 people the first two days and 6 people on the last day. This made for lots of room on the bus and the experience feeling more personalized. I loved the sites we visited including the town of Joan of Arc, Saint Malo, Mont St Michel, Omaha Beach and cemetery, 3 incredible Loire Valley castles. It was everything I wanted to see and more. Marie, the tour guide, was a pro. She knew so much and kept me entertained and informed about every site we visited. She shared interesting stories and as far as I could tell, everything was factual. She kept the tour moving at a good speed and made sure we knew where to meet up and when if we went off on our own. We wore headphones so we could hear the guide even if she was walking ahead of us or if there was noise around us. This was really helpful. We had really nice weather but it was also very hot. The bus had AC, which we would have died without. The two hotels we stayed at were fine. In France they are 4 star hotels but I would rate them as 3 star hotels by Canadian standards. There were large, buffet style breakfasts with eggs, bread, cheese, bacon, cold meats, fruit, yogourt, cereal, etc. I did not expect such a big breakfast so I was pleasantly surprised. Suggestions: I didn’t receive clear confirmation before the tour and I had to contact the company after which they sent me messages on WhatsApp. It would have been better if they had done this without me chasing them. The tour was conducted in both English and Spanish. This surprised me as I was not aware this was the case when I signed up. I enjoy listening to Spanish, but it does make things take longer and some people might not like having to wait double the time to get the information. I was so impressed at Marie’s abilities to switch from English to Spanish to French. She is a gifted linguist! There were some times when it was hard to understand what she was saying though. If I could offer some advice to help her English come across more clearly: ‘luggage’ and ‘mail’ do not take an ‘s’ in the plural form; in English we say “Joan of Arc” not “Joan of Arch”; it’s better to say “I remind you” instead of “I recall you”. The bus did not have a working toilet. I’m not sure if this is normal for these types of tours but considering that toilets are hard to come by in France (they are also dirty, you have to pay to use them and they often have long lines), it would be nice to have our own toilet to use. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in historical sites in France and who likes a fast paced experience. I paid around $1300 Canadian for three full days and two nights, which I think is reasonable. Thanks for a great experience! I look forward to doing more tours of different regions in France.

Very well organized trip. Good accommodations with recommendations for food. Saw a lot of great sites in three days and had options to go with the guide or on your own. We would book another tour with Paris City Vision!

.Advertised as 6-day tour; however, First day nothing; Second day at 3:45 pm we assembled at the Eiffel Tower and sent up on our own; following that we were pointed i the direction of a sightseeing boat; finally a bus tour which we could not get off to take photos.; Sixth day, cheapest breakfast and the tour is over. That was a 3-day tour! I had knee injury and was not able to get into any tours with stairs. Tour guide never slowed down pace of tour nor came over to me and another guest to say she realized we were not having a good time or a time as we ended up waiting for the tour at each stop. I sent my complaint to the Wyoming Attorney General but was directed to go to an attorney.D

We took this three day tour with our tour guide Leila and our excellent coach driver. Leila has an encyclopedic knowledge of French history and could answer any question put to her. We are studying French and Leila was always ready to explain the finer points of French grammar which we appreciated. Our driver was very competent and we always felt safe with him behind the wheel. One issue of concern was the standard of the two hotels we stayed at. The Novotel in Caen and the second hotel in Angers were barely 4 star. Very poor quality rooms and the food was bland and served very badly .

We had a great time on our tour. Our tour guide, Amelia, was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. This tour was fast paced and we covered a lot of ground. We learned a lot of history and saw beautiful sites.

The 3 day tour to Normandy, Mont St Michel and the Loire Valley chateaux was fantastic. So much to see and so well organized. Our guide, Leyla, was fantastic as she juggled three languages and all the details. I highly recommend this trip to see the beautiful French countryside.

Good pace and enjoyed the variety of places visited. Tour Guide Lila was very knowledgeable and engaging which personalised the overall experience. Seamlessly conducting the whole tour in English & Spanish. Bus Driver Yache, was very skilled in maneuvering the bus.

Leila, LeTour guide is truly a gem! Very informed, aware of the care needed to oversee multi-generational patrons in a diverse environment. Able to control and keep us on track with smiles and gentle persuasions. Sometimes the trip felt 'too full' to enjoy and yet I was provided with the full itinerary prior to the trip and knew what was ahead of me. The trip made me realize I should book more trips and indulge in a 4 or 5 day trip. The bus driver, we heard he was new to this tour company, was exceptional and professional. I felt safe, never rushed and the bus was amazing. I was unable to utilize the WIFI as I had computer issues, but others raved about the WIFI connection. The accommodations were excellent. Great service, good food, great beds for sleeping after our busy days of touring. I even enjoyed a bubble bath at the Mercure in Angers after walking all the way back from Mont Saint Michel! This trip reminds me of the trips my parents would take us on as children. Lots to see, a lot of miles in-between, meeting new people and seeing the famous sites of France all in 3 short but busy days!

Leila was our guide, She provided a smooth and enjoyable experience. No bumps in the road and extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! It allowed me to visit numerous tourist attractions without the hassle of worrying about transportation.
