Fantastic day! - This is well planned and a great experience. It’s just the right amount of time to spend in the villages. Gouda was a very kind host and an excellent driver, plus the vehicle is immaculate and comfortable. Merci!

Nice and relaxing trip - Very nice trip with Raphael who provided detailed information about places we visited during this tour. We had a tour of perfume factory which was interesting and visited several villages. In each of them we had plenty of time to explore and got the tips what to see and do. Van is modern and hotel pickup was smooth. I would recommend this tour to other travellers as it is gives good value for money and helps you make the most of your time in France.

Rushed and shorter than advertised - The whole tour felt rushed and it felt like the guide was more interested in getting away from every village than everything else. We were a total of 7 hours and 45 minutes from pick up to drop off not the 9 hours advertised. Had the full time been used it would have felt more relaxed. Little information provide from the guide which was a shame would have been nice to get more information. Giving 3 stars as the villages were all beautiful.

Very few explanations,... - Very few explanations, especially in English and difficult French. Rather a driver than a guide.
