What's Included in your Best of Paris & the South of France in 15 Days tour
Great Guides!
"Patrick Vidal (above) was unquestionably the best tour guide I have ever had. He was knowledgeable, energetic, thorough — and just plain fun. If I take another Rick Steves tour of France, I hope to get one with Patrick as guide."
— Fred in Redmond, WA
"Daniela Williams was wonderful! Her multilingual fluency in 3 languages was amazing. I appreciated her grasp of the Roman civilization, the French culture, and her skill at orienting us to using public transportation in Paris and the Riviera."
— Marcia in Salinas, CA
