Mr D McLain
Nice Carnival & the French Riviera

Well organised. Good company. Good Hotels.

Mr S Vercammen
Black Forest & Strasbourg at New Year

As a holiday this trip was great, as a Christmas eexperience it fell a little short.

Mr G Radford-Snell
Glacier Express All Inclusive at Christmas

The the visit to the Lot and the Dordogne area was great fun we had an enthusiastic tour guide who helped us a great deal during our travel. The vieille auberge hotel was comfortable and the food was excellent, although there was only one choice of the 4 course menu in the evening. The visits were well organised and most interesting. I especially enjoyed the steam train from Martel. it was my first experience of rail discoveries and I would certainly consider going on another holiday with them again.

Mr D Baker
Dordogne & Lot

It was great from the start, from meeting our rep till we arrived back home. The weather was good so that helps, the trips good and the mixture of people made a good group. But then our rep (tour manager) was very good throughout, well done. John Felix HP135HD

Mr J Felix
Languedoc & Carcassonne

Great organisation wonderful accommodation food, wonderful weather.

Mr W Mitchell
The Charming Dordogne

Loved the holiday. Wasn't impressed by 2 of the evening meals (of 3), we were herded into a restaurant and had very little space and the food was not very good. Our Guide was lovely, and we enjoyed our trip very much.

Mrs O Burton
Avignon & the Flavour of Provence

Lovely to see the country your visiting before reaching your destination - but knowing that someone else (the courier) is taking the hassle and worry of the details. The courier was very pleasant and explained everything as we went through the holiday

Mrs R Williams
The French Riviera

Our guide was outstanding going way beyond what was expected to make the trip as personally relevant as he could in the time allotted.

What can be said about trains? They're fast, efficient, fairly stable modes of transport. Fantastic for commuting or transporting lots of heavy goods, and great at getting people to the heart of a destination with a fairly small amount of fuss furore.
