Provence/Paris
Adding Paris to this tour should be required. Besides touring Provence, we also added Monte Carlo and the Casino night. The contrast of the countryside, small towns, Nice & Cannes and Paris gave a real flavor of the country. We can't wait to return.
Provence/Paris
This was our third walking tour with GoAhead and the best. We had so many unique experiences. One of my favorate was seeing the blessing of the cowboys in the Roman arena in Arle.
Walking through Provence
Excellent. If I had one thing to leave out, it would be Cannes. A small village rather than Nice would be preferrable also. I wasn't impressed with either of those cities. Overall, wonderful experience. Tour guide excellent, instrumental in creating a cohesive tour group. Kindness, patience exhibited daily to all of us.
Retired
This was an absolutely wonderful tour! My daughter and I had a wonderful time. Our Tour Director Jean-Jacques definitely put his every effort and heart into showing us beautiful Provence. The hikes that JJ lead were the BEST! This tour is for people who like to walk/hike. I would do this tour over again and if I win the lotto I would take family and dear friends and have JJ and Daniel the bus driver take us. The scenery, the lovely villages and the camaraderie with the group were tops. Thank you for everything!!!! Sincerely, Aline Frybarger
best trip
For myself , this is the best trip. Of course, proper physical condition required this,not for everyone. A little bit too much for my wife and daughter No problem for me because i usually enjoy hiking. One thing I advise your company when you arranage flight, such as international flight changing time should be at least one and half hour, preferably two hour. We missed connecting flight for Nice at Zurich ( only 55min on our schedule) At best we waited next available one for almost 4 hours. Tour directer (Tristan)and Tour bus driver (Michele)are best..
Superior in Every Way
Go Ahead once again did not disappoint in any way. The itinerary was excellent, the accomodations well located and very comfortable and the food superior. The tour is extremely good value. Provence is, of course, outstandingly beautiful and this tour captures its varied geography and multitude of delights wonderfully. Each day was enjoyable and planned so that you were never too tired but anxious for the next day's new experiences. It must be said, moreover, that the quality of the tour was most certainly elevated to outstanding by the knowledge, energy, thoughtfulness and good humour of our Tour Director, Tristan Bayles. He went far above and beyond any reasonable expectations every day. What an asset he is to your company! I guess I shoudn't have been surprised, mind you: my 2009 experiences on the Food and Wine Tour with the extraordinary John Jaques Legalle were equally oustanding.
Walking tour of Provance + 3 days in Paris
First tour with GoAhead. Very impressed overall. Would recommend this trip to anyone that likes to see places buses cannot take you all the way to. Does require a good bit of uphill walking, but the churches and castle remains and views are well worth the effort
Walking Tour of Provence
Outstanding tour! Jean-Jacques, our tour director, was simply the best. The group truly bonded partly due to his enthusiasm. He changed the order of the tour and made it better. He even included things that weren't listed such as visiting Daudet's Moulin and the village of Les Baux. His stories from his 22 years of leading tours kept us laughing throughout the trip! Provence was beautiful. The perched villages were delightful. The meals included on the trip and the excursions were all delicious, especially the Provencal lunch. Thank you GoAhead for arranging for some wonderful travel memories!
Walking tour of Provence
Beyond my expectations. Tristen, our guide was the best. He was always up beat, interesting, fun...The walking part of the trip was so fabulous, because there was, as usual, so much sight seeing and culture, that is was a wonderful break, sort of, to do some sort of walking excursion every day. A friend of mine, who knows Provence, was impressed that I got to see so much in so short of time. And I even got small bits of free time to do a little of what I particularly love to do, swim in the ocean and paint. And we would have done a fantastic swim with Tristen, except for those jelly fish!!! I am going back to France for more.
Wonderful Trip to Provence
This "Walking Tour of Provence" was wonderful in every way. We were able to experience the wonders of cities like Nice as well as the beautiful countryside small hamlets. The pace of the tour was very active and challenging but certainly doable for most all of our tour companions. Our guide was at it 24/7 and did a fantastic job. In short, do yourself a favor and take this Provence tour and experience the food, wine and beautiful wonders of the region.
