If you’ve just returned from this “Normandy tour” tour we’d love to hear from you...
We just returned from a delightful trip to Normandy with RiverLoire!! Vincent, our guide, was fantastic - he took such good care of us and is so knowledgeable. We spent eleven days in Normandy and felt like we really saw the country. We could have spent longer! It is ideal for us to have a guide take us around so we could experience so much without the trials of being on our own. Normandy has so much to offer, from gorgeous scenery to art, architecture and history, not to mention the cuisine of the region. This was an important trip for us and we were very happy with every aspect of RiverLoire's expertise in travel.

We completed the trip in mid-October and it was truly fabulous. Our guides were delightful young ladies, the hotels were very nice, the included meals delicious and generous, and the planned activities just right!
It truly was a wonderful and relaxed vacation and Riverloire's excellent service and attention to detail was responsible.
Highly recommend.

Florence was vivacious and passionate.. She made history alive, She has deep historical knowledge but able to explain so we could understand ! She was great at providing information not only on history but on France today.
We would be happy to recommend Riverloire to any one and to travel with you again !
