Their Tour
Learn French
Learning French can be easy and fun! If you are interested we will help you learn basic phrases and expressions while you are on tour. Then you can impress the locals and your friends back home while picking up a second language and make your trip more memorable and rewarding! And if you already speak French you can practise your skills with our guides who are fluent in French and English. 🙂
​
Quality Restaurants
Travelling is a fun way to discover new meals and new cuisines. This is why we advise you to great authentic French restaurants that we have personally tried and approved of. We want you to enjoy trying all the different food France has to offer and will always give options if you’re a vegetarian, vegan or food allergy.
​
Your trip, your choice!
Our goal is to make sure that you spend the most memorable time and for that, we have carefully planned everything for you. This is a completely stress-free vacation. Our price includes guides, accommodation, all transportation, some breakfast, lunches and dinners. All you need to buy are your plane tickets, the few meals not included, and to pick your activities, it’s your trip, it’s your choice!
Travel as a Local
Our mission is to help you experience the wonderful French culture and share good times. Travelling is not just about the history and the monuments, it’s also about experiencing a new culture. That’s why we include fun and unique activities such as traditional long dinners at your guesthouse, French picnics, games of Petanque and much more. (See each tour individually for a list of the activities part of the tour.) Plus you will have the expertise of a local guide (friend) all along the tour that knows all the secrets of France!
Your Tour Guide, Your Friend
Our expert local guides will share with you their culture and traditions and show you the hidden gems of France. Since we only put together groups of up to 8 people you will get plenty of attention from your tour guides to help you along your journey and answer all your questions. We truly believe that we are more than just tour guides, we are your French friends that you are coming to visit and hope that you will come to visit again one day!
A True Vacation
We make sure that our journeys are full of amazing sites and unforgettable visits while also allowing breaks and free time to relax and be by yourselves. Departure time from the hotel will rarely be before 9:00 am, we allow enough time to really explore each site that we visit, no need to run from place to place! We stay at least 2 nights at the same accommodation, for you to get into the skin of the French style living. Plus you don’t have to worry about anything, everything is already planned for you. What a true vacation!
