About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dilchi0 contributionsA spiritual experience for every catholicA must for every catholic at least once in a lifetime! We visited the sanctuary in May this year. Recommend a three night stay. There is so much to see and immerse your spiritual life in. There daily mass in all languages. The candle light procession is a very moving experience. Whilst you are unable to get into the bath, they now offer a 'water gesture' that is streamlined and available during some times of the dayWritten June 8, 2024
- mariateresaw20230 contributionsYou will be In good handsThe knowledge and information shared with us by our guide Ms Susan as we visited the churches, the crypt of saint bernadette, and especially the grotto where to this day the spring runs brought religious history to life. This is not to mention the first-class treatment TripAdvisor gave us by putting us on a plane to and from Lourdes when the trains were full to show how TripAdvisor will honor their commitment to deliver the Lourdes tour to their travelers.Written August 13, 2023
- Starviagera0 contributionsWorth the tripGlad that this place continues to be upkept. Interesting to see how well they were doing in a democratic setting and that they crashed once the king took over.Written July 17, 2023

- RichL1800 contributionsLourdesA great experience, one of our family members has difficulty walking and required the use of a wheelchair, which concerned us. But the trip organizer made sure everything ran smoothly flying to Lourdes, during our visit and the train back to Paris. Our guide, Oliviere, was experienced and knowledgeable resulting in a very inspiring experience. Highly recommend if planning on visiting Lourdes.Written November 1, 2022
- Pmartin6600 contributionsLovely day in NormandyOur guide/driver to Normandy was a lovely, lovely person and the day was well-planned. There were three of us and we were in a car that was so comfortable for the long ride from Paris to Normandy and back. We went to several museums, all having something different to offer, and each one moving in its unique way. Our lunch in Normandy was delicious, right on Omaha Beach. The American Cemetery was the culmination of the day; it's truly such a beautiful place, peaceful and respectful. It's an incredible place to experience Our driver even took us to the best road stops! She had a long day for our tour, but she did such a beautiful job for us!Written October 25, 2022
- brianwL2800US0 contributionsObsoleteThis tour doesn't exist. They wait until the final hours (evening prior to the tour) and cancel it. This ruined our plans and we were unable to go to London.Written September 14, 2022
- debclarkaz0 contributionsMagical Evening!!!Our driver was friendly and helpful. The Chateau was exceptional with a great narration throughout. The dinner was 5 star.Written July 10, 2022
- zarathusta0 contributionsVaux le Vicomte chateau is a must see if you plan to see Versailles.Most tourists visit Versailles. And it is certainly an amazing place. But the shear size, and crowd size make it hard to fully appreciate the grandeur, extravagance and vision of it all. Vaux le Vicomte chateau is first a brilliant example of baroque architecture and extravagance but is also a direct antecedent to Versailles. The audio guide for this tour is the best in class. It is the story of the builder and his demise at the hands of Louis XIV. The narrator is the Vicomte himself. The audio guide changes narrative automatically when each room is entered. The production quality is matched with the finest, most comfortable headphones available making the whole experience unmatched. Whether you see Versailles first or later, you do not want to miss Vaux le Vicomte.Written June 18, 2022
- johnmU8292EU0 contributionsLourdes, FranceWashing with the holy water and visit to the cathedral. An excellent and knowledgeable guide (Nathalie) provided our private tour.Written June 14, 2022
- E4200YZalbertr0 contributionsNormandy Beach & Mont St Michel TripThe tour company was amazing they kept us informed of the upcoming trip including a slight delay returning on the train, they text to inform me as the train conductor did not speak English. They entire team was punctual, friendly. The personal car service was very confortable. We enjoyed the 1:1 experience and time the guide Adil provided. We had time to digest the wealth of history being shared. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The experience was great.Written May 8, 2022
- frederickh3810 contributionsGood trip- bad transferMint Saint Michel is worth seeing. The train ride was fine but the last transfer at Gare Montparnass was late and then went to the wrong hotel so an excellent day was spoiledWritten October 15, 2021
- frederickh3810 contributionsGood trip , bad logisticsMont Saint Michel is worth the trip- this was clearly the fastest best way to see it. Everyone except the last transfer person was fine but we arrived back tired and there was confusion about where to be picked up. We waited 20 minutes. Then the driver took us to the wrong hotel and we showed him the address again and he got lost again. It was not the way to finish a good day. Your transfers from the TVT were not clear for either participants or drivers. Saying you would meet” on the platform “ or “near the locomotive “ were incorrect and there are two exits at Rennes. Be clear which exit. And in Gare Montparness pick gate and place out of the traffic. When your driver is late parking let the people know.Written October 11, 2021
- O5141HMjonathang0 contributionsParisWe are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country CheersWritten January 7, 2020
- AndiPandi5550 contributionsAmazing place!Our tour overall was excellent. Mont Saint Michel is stunningly beautiful and amazing to see. Our tour guide, Mathieu, who picked us up in Rennes from the train and was our guide throughout Mont Saint Michel, was excellent. He was very professional, patient, and friendly. The train ride was scenic, efficient, and fast. Just a few complaints about the tour company: Our driver in Paris did not pick us up from the hotel. We ended up having to get a taxi and had to rush and race to get to the train on time which made the start of the trip stressful. This is a crucial part of the trip so either the tour company should make SURE the ride will be there, or lower the price a bit and have the tour begin at the train station (people find their own way to train station). Also, the instructions we were given said there would be coffee and snacks available on the train which wasn't true. So we were starving by the time we got to Rennes. These were the only complaints, but that is something that needs to be addressed for future tours. Otherwise, it was an excellent tour and totally worth it.Written June 15, 2019
