From the moment our tour guide picked us up at the train station, I knew I would love this tour guide! She is funny, knowledgeable and witty. Every place, every corner we visited that day, she explained in detail with historic stories which were easy to understand and remember. Not only we had a fantastic time in Mont Saint Michel with her, she also took us to a local fish port for fresh oysters. When we got to Saint Malo, we bumped into traffic and had a hard time finding a parking space. She wouldn’t want to waste our time, and showed us a direction for us to begin our walk and then she managed to catch up after finding a parking space. My friend and I actually decided not to have a proper lunch in order to save time, and then in Saint Malo, she told us to wait her for a few minutes in the middle of our walk in the town. She showed up with two packs of tasty local cookies she bought us in a famous local store, and told us” because you saved money for me at lunch”. But we know she didn’t have to, which was sweet! A fantastic tour guide can definitely make your day and make your tour wonderful, and she is the one!!!

My father and I had a fantastic tour of the D-Day Beaches, Sainte-Mere-Eglise and Bayeux in October. Our tour guide was Sabrina, and she tailored the day to meet our interests - including taking us by the statue of Dick Winters and Brecort Manor. We even managed to squeeze in a tour of the Bayeux tapestries at the end of the day, which was followed by a recommendation for dinner at the best restaurant in Bayeux before our train ride back to Paris - Le Moulin de Galette. It was a quaint restaurant near an old watermill that served delicious crepes. The tour was the highlight of our time in France. The tour also felt very safe from a COVID perspective - there was hardly anyone at the sites, the guide wore a mask, kept social distance and regularly offered hand sanitizer; there was also a divider in the van between the guide and the two of us.

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers
