France- Paris to Nice
Although it was wonderful to be on vacation in France, I have a few comments that hopefully will improve the quality of the experience in the future. 1. In Paris tickets for experiencing the Eiffel Tower were not purchased in advance. Due to the heat the lines were long and we were unable to go up the tower to see the views. 2. The food for the first group dinner provided by the tour SUCKED! That was not a French cuisine. 3. The restaurant picked for our last group dinner was too far from the hotel we were staying at. Although we took a tram part way to the restaurant, we still had to walk a long way to get to the restaurant. 4. Not enough time in Nice to see sights. Only had an hour to go to the beach and then attend dinner. 5. Even though using the Metro in Paris there was still a tremendous amount of walking and we didn’t have time to see everything listed on the itinerary. I did enjoy the sights we were able to explore. The Louve tour was very nice and the guide was knowledgeable. Our tour guide was exceptional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
