Raves about Rick's France Tours
There may be no place in Europe where you can get more travel enrichment from having a great guide. France serves up a monumental mix of fine culture, sublime cuisine, dramatic natural beauty, thundering history, jaw-dropping art...and a lovely language that is too-often a barrier to real understanding. Take it from our tour members: each of our fantastique itineraries through France comes filled with unforgettable experiences...
Paris in 7 Days
"The Montmartre tour was fabulous. I never would have gone to the area if it weren't for the tour — and even if I had, it wouldn't have been half so meaningful. Our guide re-told from memory the story of "The Man Who Walked through Walls" while we stood in front of the monument by the same name. Her storytelling abilities out-do any guidebook — even Rick's!"

Paris & London in 8 Days
"Turning 40 could not have been more fun — because I was in Paris (enough said!). Our guide was so sweet — she presented me with a birthday card (which everyone signed) and had everyone sing Happy Birthday to me before we set out for our morning excursion. Later that afternoon, she topped it off with French pastries on our stroll in Montmartre. I was "wowed" by Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and pretty much EVERYTHING London and Paris had to offer me."

Paris & the Heart of France in 11 Days
"One of the most fun aspects of the trip was our guide's commentary as we rode in the bus. He read us French poetry, fairy tales, talked about French history, food, and language, and was always informative as well as funny! He never overdid it (allowing us to snooze off in that beautiful bus), but when he did speak he would command all of our attention. Every aspect of this trip charmed us immensely."

Family Paris & The Heart of France in 11 Days
"I had a really great time throughout. It was a great learning experience for me; I study French in school, and I think that my vocabulary and knowledge of the culture has doubled in the time that I spent in France. It was also a fun experience for me, and I have made some great friends that I keep in contact with. Overall, it was a stellar experience."

Paris & the South of France in 15 Day
"I felt like a kid on the very best school field trip ever! We loved Paris. For the first few days I kept looking at my husband and saying, "Can you believe we are actually in Paris?" The time in Sarlat was wonderful. The beautiful sunny day when we went to see the cave drawings, then had a delicious picnic, and THEN paddled in canoes down the Dordogne River was perfect!"
— Carolyn in Kingston, Ontario
Villages & Vineyards of Eastern France in 13 Days
"This is a new itinerary — our first group will meet in Reims (just 45 minutes from Paris by TGV train) on August 31, 2009. Join us and write your own review!"
