Mr D Le Rasle
Paris in Winter Cruise

I have already filled in a form whilst travelling back on Eurostar. I also sent a separate email to RD about our Tour Guide, Rosie Sharp, who was just the best ever. She was very efficient, friendly, calm and stylish as well! Probably the best Tour Guide we have ever had. That aside, the Annecy/Chamonix tour was just brilliant. Beautiful surroundings, excellent hotel and perfect weather.

Mrs H Phillips
Annecy & Chamonix

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

First class in every respect from the journey to France, to the complete crew on the Bottecelli , the tours, the food and drink the cruise was brilliant and a special mention must go to the tour manager who organised everything from the outset, never pressurising anyone but was always there if he was needed

Mr B Hodlin

Not only is it the season that finally, finally, brings a slow end to the coldness of winter, but it's when the flowers begin to bloom, the baby animals appear in fields, and when the world wakes up in a fantastic way after a long, dark time.

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.
