パリ発ノルマンディー、ロワール、モンサンミッシェル3日間旅行

It was a well organised trip and Marie was a fantastic guide who was very enthusiastic and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us on the different regions and sites we visited.

This is a fast paced 3 days tour, you do a lot of walking. I highly recommend this tour, you do see a lot and it leaves you wanting to come back and see it at a slower pace Our tour guide Bernard was very knowledgeable, and had a great attitude and a good sense of humor. He gave us just enough information about every place you visit without overwhelming us, but actually wanting to learn more 3 days are not enough to see everything, but it is a good way to explore a bit of Normandy visiting Omaha beach, Brittany Saint-Malo and Mount Saint Michel, again in Normandy, and a small taste of the valley of Loire great chateaus and wineries The hotel accommodation are very good and so are the meals included in the tour

The entire experience is worth considering - we went for 3D/2N and covered many sights. Do be prepared to start the day early at 7.30am each day at bus. Each day has different sights and interests for everyone so if visiting three chateauxs in a day is not your thing pick the 2D/1N instead to head back to Paris after Mont st michel. Guide is knowledgeable and good pace. Would have preferred more time at Normandy and also mont st michel to catch high tide but I suppose with the number of points it is hard to co-ordinate. The only black sheep was a particular lady greeter at the meeting location - neither helpful nor polite - and should not be in service line. We went to her asking where to sign in and which line to join and she basically barked at us like we were some school kids.

This was great way to pack in a variety of experiences in a couple of days. Our guide, Zoltan, was knowledgeable, engaging and clearly highly experienced with planning for logistics and contingencies that may arise. Our driver, Charlie, was also great. We started with a group of 18, reducing to 7 for the final Loire Valley day. The coach was comfortable and spacious. The strength of this trip is breadth, which was great for our teenagers who would likely be impatient with a deeper experience in each locale. One suggestion would be to have more guided tours of the locations - as the time constraints make it difficult to separately arrange by ourselves. Hotels were as expected for a trip of this type, but the included dinner could be improved. Check-in and logistics were very efficient. In summary, a solid tour that our family very much enjoyed. Recommended for those looking to hit a “sampler” of a wide spectrum of experiences in northwestern France if short on time. And, again, Zoltan and Charlie made the trip for us.

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!

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.
