This is my second time booking David for a tour in France. A group of 4 was picked up promptly by David and driven to a small town called Bayeux for lunch. The vehicle was clean and spacious. David's English is perfect and during the drive, he gave a great rundown of the day and was upfront that we were in control of stopping for drinks/bathroom breaks. David has a mastery of French history and all things related to DDay. We took the back roads rather than the highway to get a feel for what the soldiers encountered on those fateful days. All of stops (cemetery, Omaha Beach, Ponte de Hoc) were explained to us in detail and allowed us to enjoy the sites that much more. I would highly recommend this trip for the history and David's knowledge and the overall gravity of visiting these hallowed sites.

10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)

We had a wonderful experience touring the highlights of Reims with Gwendol and Royal Journey this past September and I highly recommend you use him and his services! We had a limited amount of time in the area, and wanted to maximize seeing a few of the highlights. He designed an itinerary for us that balanced sight-seeing of priority spots for us (Reims cathedral, Hautvillers, Eparnay) with some relaxation time tasting champagne at a wonderful spot he recommended (L'Ecurie in Eparnay owned by Champagne de Venoge). Gwendol is very knowledgable, contributed informative, educational details about the various places we visited and was kind, easygoing and friendly. He rolled with the punches with our motley crew and made the whole touring experience so seamless and easy. Gwendol's Mercedes V class van was lovely, clean and comfortable, and he picked us up and dropped us off in a timely fashion at our rented property. Thank you, Gwendol, for providing us with such a lovely experience visiting the beautiful area of Reims.

We went september 2020 to the area of Champagne. It was an INCREDIBLE journey to never forget! #makememories Stéphane was our private tourguide for 3 days. He’s a very nice guy and could tell us everything about the area and about the process of making champagne. He also knows very good local restaurants. Stéphane arranged a perfect planning based on our wishes. That’s exactly why i loved him as our tourguide. I definitly recommend to book a tour at ‘tours in champagne’!

Attention to detail is the least I can say about Clément our travel planner and guide. I run a company specialized in tourism, so believe me when I say, I am a critic. The van was impeccably clean, sanitized prior to our departure from the Paris Montparnasse train station and throughout our transportation to different destinations. A little footstool prepared and I did not even have time to open the door, as our host did it before me. Clément played the French classics on our way to Normandy and the lyrics of Edith Piaf, Aznavour and Brel were in the seat pocket to sing along! As for the itinerary, our priority was to meet local producers and 'the' expert on WW2 D-Day history as well as Monet's Garden at Giverny. From cider houses, to farm producers who make cheese out of raw milk as well as calvados, the main spirit to go with camembert cheese! The choice of hotel was perfect in Bayeux, a charming town untouched by the bombings of the war. There we spent 3 nights where we could stroll to the morning market and visit the cathedral with it's intriguing crypt. We met a hat maker, lace and embroidery artisans all forgotten hand-made crafts revived by locals in Bayeux! A sensory experience was passing by Giverny. We were lucky as we were practically the only ones there, advantages of the pandemic. An autumn portrait where the sun was low and soft at dusk. Words cannot express the emotions brought by the colors and romantic solitude which must inspired Monet. Next trip with Clément will be Honfleur and Mont Saint-Michel. I can't wait!

My husband and I were on a short trip to Paris for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we had Frederic drive us to Bruges since we had never been to Belgium and the pictures looked amazing. After a very comfortable ride there, Frederic started a walking tour with us in the morning and we quickly realized the pictures did not do this quaint city justice! We felt like Disney had created this perfect little town for people to see. Frederic walked us around before we stopped for lunch together. He was going to leave us to dine alone but we asked him to join us because we enjoyed his company so much and we wanted to hear more about the city. After lunch, he gave us the option of having him continue to walk us around or we could explore on our own. We chose to explore on our own since we felt he had given us such a good overview that morning. We had plans to tour the Chocolate Museum but when we arrived, it was closed due to the time of year. We actually didn't mind much and we just spent the day wandering the beautiful streets around the canals and stopping for hot chocolate and waffles. I would highly suggest a visit to Bruges to feel like you have stepped back in time. Speaking of time, we toured in January and lucked out that it wasn't extremely cold. The crowds were very low so it was easy to wander the streets and sometimes we found ourselves the only ones exploring the small alleyways. I would definitely return to Bruges one day and would highly suggest taking this tour especially if it is your first visit or if you have very limited time in the city.
