Fantastic time Fantastic time. Loved everything we did - even the heat! Having to eat fabulous food & drink even better wines - a highlight 😊 David & Philippe looked after us extremely well & kept us entertained- thank you, it was so much fun - even the jokes 😁😁 Hotel Gounud looked after us extremely well - loved the pool at the end of the day not to mention the air conditioning 👌 Would highly recommend Off the Beaten Path & looking forward to receiving the recipes from the cooking class & also the pictorial evidence of our time in Provence. 😘

A memorable vacation with personal touches in every detail! Christie and her team did not disappoint - again! This was our second tour with France Off the Beaten Path and will not be our last. Christie and her team made our Loire Valley vacation memorable, fun and adventurous. The itinerary was filled with food, wine, castles, laughs, history - and so much more. Christie's passion for travel is contagious and we look forward to our next trip! - Dana and Kyle

Lovely 5 days Lovely 5 days. One hotel and reasonable pace of activities, not to mention the perfect weather made for an enjoyable " tour". Highlights were wine tasting and lunch in Chateau Neuf de Pape and swimming in the sea in the pretty town of Cassis. Despite how close to perfect it all was I still find the cost to be very high. I guess my Canadian dollar doesn't go very far!

Stellar experience Stellar experience! Off the Beaten Path is a cut above other tour companies. Everything is carefully chosen for a traveler’s delight. The highly professional, gracious and caring staff has thought of every detail. Food was spectacular, sites fabulous, lots of laughter and memorable moments. Staff is also highly knowledgeable of the area. You won’t be disappointed....don’t miss it!

A History Lovers Dream Take this tour if you love French history, wine and cuisine. Knowledgeable guides painted pictures of life when French kings built chateaux and lived in the Loire Valley. Distinguished chefs gave delightful cooking lessons and created wonderful meals. Tastings of chocolate and wine were an added treat. This is a trip we will always remember fondly.
