France Tours for Seniors

Our trip to Provence was fabulous. The three cities, Lyon, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, gave us a real sense of the region. The food, wine, and tours were all magnificent. The hotels were lovely and centrally located. 

The five days in Avignon gave us a sense of the city and history.  All the guides were excellent and well informed. Our entire trip was well organized and the travel app which outlined our trip was “perfect." We were especially thankful for the drivers who were always on time.

We highly recommend our Zicasso travel expert and our travel company. We have never been disappointed with Zicasso.

My daughter and I overall had a fantastic trip. It was arranged on very short notice, and I really appreciated the travel agent working with us with such short notice. The hotels we stayed in were excellent. Originally, we had requested 2 beds, but both places we got 1, and we were able to make it work. We were able to get to all the sights we were hoping to see, and had excellent tour guides for both private and small group tours. I would have liked to have more information for what to expect on some of those tours, for example, our trip to the lavender fields/Valensole included a stop at a lake with the option to swim. We had no idea, so did not bring swimsuits. Our trip to Cassis was listed as a 5 hour tour, but was scheduled in a way that it was basically the drive to Cassis, the boat ride through 3 of the Calanques, and a very short time to sit on the beach before driving back. We did not have time to eat lunch before the trip back, and the timing of the drive back meant that restaurants were also closed back in Aix when we returned. Finally, we would have liked some input- we had read about the Camargue area, but didn't expect it to be basically people's ranches. That was a disappointing day. Still all in all an amazing trip.

I cannot make enough positive statements about our experience with Zicasso's tour company. The travel specialist and the other team members were phenomenal. We went from Normandy to Paris to Bordeaux to the Basque Country. The planning process for the trip was hassle-free. They asked all the right questions to ensure our trip had the experiences we wanted: food tours, wine tastings, museums, soccer games, D-Day, Mont Saint-Michel, and more. 

The balance of planned excursions and free time was perfect. Every guide was professional, knowledgeable, and personable, but more than that, it was clear each guide loved what they did and had a passion for what they were showing us. Every hotel we stayed in was spot-on with the amenities we discussed in our planning.

The agency was accommodating and easy to get in touch with when needed. Our trip was truly a vacation; all the details were taken care of and all tickets were electronically available. I highly recommend using this travel company!

We had a fantastic trip, put together and managed along the way by Zicasso's travel company. We worked with them to design the perfect trip for us to visit the Swiss Alps, attend a Women’s Euro football game, see the Normandy beaches, experience the Tour de France, and spend time in Paris. It was a challenge that the travel company was up to.

Our tours and guides were great, and the hotels were wonderful. All through the trip, the tour company kept in touch to make sure we knew where to go next and assisted with any issues that popped up. Another fabulous experience from Zicasso for us. This was our fourth time using their service.

The trip was wonderful and well-scheduled. I got to do almost everything I hoped for. The guides were excellent, especially the guide at the d'Orsay. I learned more than I did in my semester of art history. The hotels in Bayeux and the tours were exceptional, and right outside the historic districts, so easy walking access for tours, museums, cathedrals (if you go, do check out both these towns' cathedrals!), and bistros.

Our Zicasso travel specialist planned a wonderful trip for our group. The hotels were excellent, the transfers worked very well, and the suggested restaurants were very good. Our two tour guides, in Normandy and Paris, were very knowledgeable and all in the group enjoyed the tours. We highly recommend the Zicasso travel agency.
