D-day for small group of US and Australian clients - The guide and driver were excellent. The guide was well-informed about the history. SHe(Helen) was a great leader and her planning on behalf of the group of clients was great.

Impressive day trip from Paris - We took the tour as a family of 3 including a teenager and the tour company was very accommodating to our needs, picking us up and dropping us off right at our Airbnb. Our driver, Vadim, was very professional. Our tour guide, David, was very informative and shared a lot of interesting information that we would not have otherwise known. It was a lot to squeeze into a day but he made sure to maximize our experience!

Clewel Travel Unreliable! - Planned this experience months in advance and was so looking forward to it ! Day of our adventure at pickup time, our driver is a no show! After numerous calls to Clewel Travel who was originally clueless about our reservation, advised us that there was an accident or something and they were unable to pick us up…offered to do it another day but were unable since we were going back home, so ended up getting a refund

AWFUL!!!! - The tour was supposed to be a live guided tour. Our guide slept on the drive out and played on her phone. We were dropped off with only a little explanation of where to go and very very basic info. It was more like a hop on and off tour or a self guided tour. The driver was good but of course he was not the tour guide and did not carry on conversation. Some of the activities on our list were skipped. It was awful.

HELP!! Please! - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! We were robbed of our valuables in the tour vehicle, filed a police report, emailed to follow up and no one has been in contact for assistance. Someone please respond to our emails!
