Provence 8-day Small Group Tour
Roussillon was one of the many places we visited during our Provence holiday. What an adventure and such fun. I loved the lavender fields, exploring village markets, and I really enjoyed sharing a pedal boat on the St Croix lake to the Gorge. The markets were lively with music and lots of fresh local produce. My French improved a lot during our two weeks holiday. Now I’m looking forward to my next Slow Tour of Brittany.

Brittany 8-day Small Group Tour
What a fabulous experience it was to travel with Carol and her guests over the three weeks spent in Normandy, Loire Valley and Brittany. I have a very busy corporate and social life and was looking for time to refresh and reenergise while at the same time having the opportunity to visit France to experience not only Paris and larger regional cities and their amazing histories, landmarks and art, but also to step off the main tourist drives and to experience and life in the communities; winin...
15-day French Language School
I attended this course at Antibes in 2013 at the same time as the Cannes Film Festival. It was a very well organised course and the teaching staff were university professionals. The daily afternoon trips were delightful and of course the one stop train ride to visit Cannes and to see the Film Festival in full swing very exciting. Anne Adelaide, Australia 2013
Provence tour in September 2016
Thank you Slow Tours for the tour experiences we had in France and Italy in September. Our trip to Provence and our stay in the medieval village of Le Castellet was equally memorable and enjoyable. The Slow Tours approach to travelling to the various cities, towns and villages was again appreciated. We had the time to wander, climb up sides of mountains and stairs to amazing cathedrals and churches and wonder at the scenic vistas below; take in the local village cultures, their individ...
Saint Malo Self-guided Cycling Tour
The cycling trip was wonderful - the green route itself, the stops and the seasonal weather were just perfect. We bumped into a vintage car race about half way through, and stopped for lunch where the villagers had set up a stand with grilled sausages and baguettes. The hotels were friendly and helpful. Well worth doing again! Patrick, Singapore 2018
Luxury Barge Cruise in the Champagne Region
Our first trip on a barge and no idea what to expect. Everything worked well – the pick up and return from and to Paris - to the first glass of Champagne! Well appointed cabins on the small barge for a total of 12 guests. Really felt at home with the other guests and small crew. Both meals and wines were excellent, far exceeding our expectation. Visits to the various Champagne houses were well organised and provided an in-depth appreciation of the region's wines. It was informal, relaxi...
