On the first leg to Mount St Michel we had an awful guide who insisted on doing the entire tour in both Spanish (clearly her native language) and English (extremely mumbled and difficult to understand). Honestly, it probably would have been better for us to just rent the audio guides provided at the place. Once we switched to the second leg to Loire Valley, however, our other guide Leila was excellent! She stayed very informative throughout the tour. I will admit that the stops at the castles, especially Chambord, felt very rushed due to the schedule constraints. Also, I would hardly call the hotel accommodation “4 stars” (<150 euro/night) - it was in the middle of a college town which stayed quite loud outside until 4AM, so you could not keep the window open despite the AC system not working. We could never get a reply from ParisCityVision to any of our emails about what approx time the tour returned to Paris. Overall, we expected much better given the price tag of this tour.

Excellent 2 days tour to Mont Saint-Michel and the castles of the Loire Valley. Organized and on time. Very Nice hotel in the city center where you can walk around. All 3 tour guides were exceptional and the bus drivers were professional. Highly recommend this tour!
