Customer Reviews
Finding France, à travers une écoute attentive et de tous les instants, est assurément un prestataire de service de la plus haute qualité. Indéniablement fiable, ultra réactif, toujours source de proposition, ayant le soucis du détail comme la satisfaction client résolument en point de mire, je ne peux que recommander la qualité du service fourni par Clément, Adeline et Candice les interlocuteurs privilégiés. Inlassablement. Au quotidien comme au long cours. Et toujours avec le sourire et grande bienveillance. Merci merci merci ! Et au plaisir sincère de travail encore longtemps avec vous !
Our trip to Provence was extraordinary, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Florence , Clemente and Laurie were wonderful, Every excursion was interesting , beautiful and fun !
Finding France helped me lead two groups of Americans through Provence in September and October 2025. The level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was exceptional. The entire team was truly passionate about creating memorable experiences and personalized every aspect for our groups. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you want to discover France in a unique way, surrounded by people who truly love what they do.
I had a wonderful and engaging tour with Collin our tour guide. He was professional , knowledgeable and very helpful and accommodating. We learned a lot during our trip to the Champagne region and while driving to Versailles. I would highly recommend the tour company as well as our guide Collin.
Colin picked us up at our hotel in Paris and drove us to Normandy for our tour. This is a very long day but an excellent experience and Colin made the most of it. He was very knowledgeable and had an iPad full of pictures and graphic history that brought the DDay experience to life. While our day started at 7am and ended at 7pm, Colin's day was even longer but he was cheerful and excellent company the entire time. Would not hesitate using Finding France and Colin for any touring. We actually spent the past 10 days with Clement (owner) and his team and they are fantastic.
We had a wonderful time :) our guide Colin was very fun and knowledgeable. Loved the tour :) thank you!!!
Great tour to Givernee with Louis-Marie
Louis-Marie was our guide. He was amazing. His English was perfect. Great driver and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of our tour. He was kind, understanding and very patient. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as their guide.
Agnes did a very good job!
We had the most wonderful experience with Agnes! She was our guide for three memorable days in Reims. We started with the large champagne houses (Veuve, Pommery and Ruinart) and then spent two additional days in the champagne countryside.
Clement was an exceptional chauffeur & guide providing us with a personalized experience that was enjoyable for our entire group. I can’t say enough great things about our day. We saw everything we wantes to see and so much more than we could have expected! This is a day we will always remember!
We took a private day tour to Normandy from Paris ! It was well worth the money . Family of 4 travels in a black Mercedes van ! Very comfortable, water and charging cords available! Gilles Lorand was our guide from Finding France tours . He was extremely knowledgeable and very informative! He took us to a wonderful local family owned restaurant. We saw Omaha and Utah beach , the American cemetery and several other sites in Normandy . Gilles walked us through the entire events that transpired up till D-Day and beyond ! Make sure to bring cash to tip !
Gilles gave us a wonderful tour of the Normandy d-day beaches and the American cemetery. We appreciated his explanations and the historical context of what happened and why. It was a very moving experience for us. Gilles is extremely knowledgeable on the history as well as the geography of the area. He was well researched and well prepared for the tour . I would highly recommend him as your guide
Our entire experience with Finding France was wonderful. Adeline was extremely helpful and patient in answering our questions about the different tour options and always responded promptly. Our day tour to Champagne was truly memorable, largely thanks to our incredible tour guide, Gilles Lorand! Gilles was knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. We highly recommend this tour and will definitely book another one when we visit again!
Had a great tour with Collin. Super friendly, very knowledgeable, punctual, knew all the stops and then some. Highly recommend!
Clement was the best tour guide we have experienced in Paris… 100% recommend! He was very informative and had great suggestions for food and places to visit.
Louis was a great guide. Very informative and helpful
Louis-Marie was amazing!
This was an all day excursion to the Normandy beaches and the heroes museum and memorial cemetery.. Our guide and driver was Agnes. We traveled from Paris to Normandy which is a three hour drive each way. Agnes was wonderful. She is a very safe driver who was able to engage with information regarding our tour as well as the surrounding countryside along the way. We stopped halfway out for a break and engaged in lovely personal conversation. She is quite an interesting lady and she is equally interested in you.we toured the beaches first. Agnes has a wealth of information, very energetic. There is a lot of walking and climbing into bunkers and such. We did it all. Then on to lunch at a boulangerie in a quiet little village that Agnes knew of. Again lovely conversation and a nice sandwich. On to the memorial, which is tremendously moving and Agnes did a wonderful job of sharing her extensive knowledge of this very moving memorial. She also has a good amount of printed material collected on her own to share. The ride back was quite enjoyable as we all shared conversation on our lives and common interests. This is a long day, Agnes made it memorable. I would go on another tour anytime. Thank you, Agnes for making this tour moving and memorable.
Great tour with a very likable and knowledgeable Guide
Fabulous day in Champagne with Agnes! We loved it all.
Louis was a great driver and guide for our tour of Versailles!
El tour fue espectacular!!! Y el Guía estuvo excelente!!!.. Gracias a Gilles el tour resultó inolvidable!!! Recomendamos ampliamente el tour y la Agencia…. Gracias Gilles por hacer este tour inolvidable!!! Elena, Lourdes y Lupita…
Our experience with Finding France was extraordinary, providing us with cherished memories of our magnificent trip to France. We embarked on a journey through the Beaches of Normandy, the American Cemetery, and the enchanting Mont Saint Michel. Gille, our remarkable tour guide, expertly catered to our diverse group, which included our 11-year-old daughter. His vast knowledge of history and phenomenal storytelling skills captivated us throughout the entire tour. Gille went above and beyond, ensuring our comfort by keeping us hydrated and recommending divine dining experiences. What truly set Gille apart was his ability to create a warm, open atmosphere that allowed us to express our emotions as we navigated the poignant landscapes of D-Day and the American Cemetery. As someone who has studied WW2 extensively, I was amazed by the wealth of new insights and perspectives Gille offered. I wholeheartedly recommend Finding France and the exceptional Gille to anyone seeking an unforgettable, immersive journey through history. Gille's unwavering dedication, passion, and attention to detail make him a valuable asset to any tour. Our time with him was the highlight of our visit to France, and I cannot thank him enough for the lasting memories he has given our family.
We had a fantastic tour today of Versailles (~3 Hrs), including the gardens. Our experience was exceptional from start to finish. Our driver, Colin, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Our guide, Melvin, has spoiled us for future tours with his expertise of art, history and culture including and beyond the Chateau. He allowed us to take it all in without having to reference our phones or a map and we learned so much! It was a once in a lifetime tour with my Mom and we enjoyed it so much.
We had a wonderful tour of the flea market with Augustine! He was so incredibly knowledgeable about the layout of the flea market and knew where to take us to find all of the treasures we were looking for! We will be definitely be back!
Best way to see it all in a day: Normandie, beaches, cemetery. Our guide, Gilles was so knowledgeable and friendly. He presented the information in a way that engaged us. We learned so much. He was able to accommodate my disability by occasionally finding a place for me to rest while he and my husband covered areas that were more strenuous. He also pointed out interesting things on the ride to and from. This was the best tour - if you are thinking about taking a private tour, do this one - you will be glad you did. I would love to take another tour if we ever travel back to Paris area again.
What a wonderful and meaningful trip to Normandy! Gilles was such a knowledgeable guide. We learned so much about the history of France, and a few French words too :) Highly recommend! We look forward to going on a tour with Gilles again, next time we are in Paris.
We had Gilles Lorand as our guide when touring the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day landings in 1944. Gilles was an amazing guide who provided a very comprehensive tour and we definitely came away from it knowing much more about the historic events than we did going into the tour. We recommend Gilles to anyone who wishes to tour any part of France as his knowledge and explanations were like a story that went far beyond the tour we had booked. Thank you Gilles for the wonderful experience!
Realizamos una excursión a Normandía, una experiencia inolvidable, nos acompañó el guía Clement como guía el mejor 👏👏👏👏👍
I’ll start with the fact that I am a travel advisor, who books trips to France frequently, and this DMC knocked it out of the park! I came to Clement, and his Finding France team, with a very last minute Christmas Market tour request, which they graciously accepted when others said it was too close to departure date. Fining France proceeded to blow it out of the water with an amazing initial itinerary, great communication, and easy payments. My clients raved about their trip daily and even when they got home, they are still talking about the amazing and memorable trip that Clement provided for us. I can’t wait to plan more trips to France, just so I can use them! Don’t wait a second more, book through them!! 10/10
Highly recommend!!! We had a multigenerational trip of a lifetime and we are so thankful to Clemént and Finding France for the memories!
Gilles is the absolute BEST!! I was enamored by all of the knowledge he provided throughout the tour. Hands down best tour!!
Fantastic guide, transportation and great visits to a large vineyard and small. Both very different but informative and fun!
Un « ÉNORME » merci à Finding France DMC, de la part de mes amis et de moi-même 🙏🏼. Car, pour notre, toute, première visite du château de Versailles, ses jardins, le grand et le petit Trianon… on ne pouvait pas rêver mieux! Notre guide était top, le chauffeur et son véhicule luxueux, au même niveau, c’était une expérience formidable. L’équipe est non seulement très professionnelle, mais aussi chaleureuse et toujours disponible. Dès la phase de planification, tout est fluide : chaque détail est pris en compte, les réponses sont rapides, et on sent une vraie expertise derrière chaque proposition. Sur le terrain, c’est encore mieux : tout est parfaitement orchestré, les prestataires choisis sont de grande qualité, et le suivi est impeccable. On a vraiment l’impression de pouvoir se reposer à 100% sur eux, et ça fait toute la différence. Merci à toute l’équipe pour ce travail exceptionnel, vous êtes de vrais passionnés, et ça se ressent ! Nous serons de retour au printemps 2025 mais, cette fois-ci, avec nos enfants alors nous comptons sur vous pour nous émerveiller, à nouveau avec la Normandie et Giverny s’il vous plaît. Merci encore et longue vie à vous. Olivier Leroy
5 stars for Finding France! Gilles was professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk with and provided exceptional service and information. Our Loire Valley tour included two castles and lunch at a family winery and tour. Outstanding!
Great experience! We went on the Normandy tour and it was well worth the cost. Our guide Gilles was wonderful. He knew the history, explained everything really well, and was considerate of going at our pace. We enjoyed our conversation with him throughout the day. Definitely recommend!
I recently planned an event in Paris, and as the needs continued to grow, I searched for destination management companies (DMC) and found Finding France. From my first call with Clement, I knew we were in good hands. I also confirmed Finding France’s reputation with the 5-star hotel I booked, where Clement came highly recommended. Clement managed individualized airport transfers across three Paris airports and two train stations. He arranged private rooms at restaurants with affordable rates, entertainment options, and large shuttles for our group, accommodating last-minute changes and additions seamlessly. The highlight was a stellar experience at the Musée d’Orsay with no wait. The language assistance Clement provided was invaluable, as none of our team spoke French. If you need a DMC in France, Finding France should be your top choice.
Finding France is hands-down one of the best tour companies we’ve ever worked with. My husband and I planned a customized 5-day trip with Clément and his team throughout Alsace (with stops along the way) in November 2022, and it truly was the experience of a lifetime that we still talk about to date (this review is long overdue, which we will blame on having two small children under 2 since that time!). We had a lot of requests for our trip, and Finding France helped answer all of our questions and plan the perfect itinerary without any hiccups. My family and I have taken many tours throughout Europe and have worked with many different guides, and Clément is the best tour guide we’ve ever had. He is extremely accommodating and responsive, and he is also a complete pleasure to be around! He really went above and beyond to help us plan our itinerary to not only include all the “must-sees” on our list, but also to include unique cultural experiences we would not otherwise have known about. He also helped us make various reservations throughout the trip and had wonderful recommendations at every step of the way (including for hotels, restaurants, activities, and more). He is the ultimate professional— he is extremely knowledgeable (we learned a lot!) and he is also very kind, fun, and thoughtful (he even frequently offered to take our picture whenever there was a good photo op, without us even asking ☺️, so we have some amazing pictures and memories from the trip). Other members on his team that we emailed with during the process (like Romain) were also extremely helpful. We are hoping to take another trip back to France in the next year or two, and we absolutely plan to use Finding France again for our future visit. And we have already told other family members and friends about this company as well. Thank you so much to Clément and his team, and we hope to work with you all again soon!
We had a wonderful and fulfilling experience. Our guide Clement made sure everything went perfectly and that everyone’s needs were met. We were a large family ages 4 to 72. It couldn’t have been better and we would highly recommend this company and guide to anyone.
Clement was our guide. After a short drive to Versailles, we started our tour. The palace and grounds are extensive and Clement knew everything and answered all our questions. He was pleasant and easy to understand.
This is such an amazing service! Clement and Jilles were the very best guides: knowledgeable, fun and professional! We had the best time, thank you!
We had the most incredible experience in Paris, thanks to Finding France ! From the moment we booked our tours, however it was a last minute booking, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The team went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our trip was seamless, from the well-organized itineraries to the excellent customer service. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Paris, making each tour both informative and enjoyable. Whether we were exploring iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, strolling through charming neighborhoods like Montmartre, or cruising along the Seine, every moment was memorable. They tailored the tours perfectly to our interests and provided insider tips that truly enriched our visit. We were able to experience Paris like a local, and their attention to detail was remarkable. If you’re planning a trip to Paris, I highly recommend booking with this tour operator. They truly made our trip unforgettable, and we can’t thank them enough for their outstanding services!
Gilles was very professional and an excellent historian. We had a thought provoking tour of Omaha Beach and the surrounding area. Although it was a sad time in history, we left appreciating the sacrifices of all those before us even more thanks to the stories and information from Gilles
Excellent service. Perfectly timed. Our driver Augustin was outstanding. Great driver and offered many useful and interesting comments and managed to squeeze in a few unscheduled stops while remaining on time. We’ve used similar services in Europe many times and none have been better.
One of my dear friends had an incredible experience with Finding France earlier in 2024 and recommended that we reach out on a future trip. We visited Paris in Sept 2024 and wanted to experience the powerful D Day beaches. Romain from Finding France was an expert in helping us plan our day trip. We were paired with Gilles, an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Gilles led us to Normandy where we spent time on Omaha Beach and throughout Normandy. He was so great. He was kind and funny and so considerate in going at our own pace. This was a perfect day trip from Paris with the perfect guide. We highly recommend Gilles, Romain and the team at Finding France.
Clément was an exceptional tour guide! He was fun, friendly, full of excitement and found joy in sharing history about his beautiful city! Everything was great. I highly recommend you take a tour of Paris and ask for Clément!
Clemens was amazing! He knew so much and was very accommodating. We saw everything we hoped to see and more!
Great tour from our hotel to Versailles and the entire place of Versailles. The guides are very knowledgeable about Paris and the Versailles palace. Our driver was very accommodating, making a couple extra stops for us and even recommending a good restaurant for us and making reservations for two families that were part of the tour.
Our driver (Clement) was incredibly punctual, friendly, and informative. Our guide at Versailles (Milan) was patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the interest of both the adults and kids in our group. Great way to see Versailles!
Gilles was amazing as our guide to the Champagne region! We loved the tour and his attention to detail along the way.
Great guides, they explain everything you ask, they even personalize the tour you want! A lot of fun facts and recommendations! Totally recommend!
Gran experiencia para caminar y conocer mucho del barrio más antiguo y más importante de París. La guía es en inglés y francés.
I had a fantastic time with our guide! We had great conversation on the ride over to Normandy and she provided a wealth of knowledge about the context of the events that took place in the area. She also recommended a lovely restaurant for lunch. Not only did I get to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Normandy, but I leave with a new appreciation for the details of the history. Very well done!
Got to spend an amazing day trip to Champagne with Gilles. He was on time, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with the entire day. Took us to a beautiful family owned vineyard, where we learned all bout the champagne process and history. Tastings were great!
Clement took us on a private tour in the central Paris area. His knowledge was fantastic, his capacity to vary the tour for us was great. Advice on local cheeses, restaurants, wine stores in the St Honore was fantastic.
Gilles was a phenomenal guide! Our trip to Normandy was beautifully coordinated by him. We could not have been more pleased with how he arranged our day at such a historical place. His knowledge of the Normandy Invasion was extremely impressive. We learned a great deal. Thank you, Gilles!
Todo fue excelente, agradable compañía, lugares, ambiente y guía, quedamos muy satisfechos y felices con el tour, definitivamente lo recomendamos y lo volveríamos a hacer
Clément was the most amazing guide for the Normandy trip with my mother. She tore her hamstring before the trip and was moving slow but Clément was very accommodating and anticipated every need that we could ever want well in advance, constantly offering his arm for her stability and pace. He ran to get her a wheelchair in the rain when she became tired with walking. He was intuitive and very knowledgeable of the history & geography during our ride. He supplied a thorough explanation with maps and petit guides to the French monarchy, the history of France and castles of the region. He was patient and kind with stops for toilette & café. He would pull the car near to lessen the walking for us and increase his. We had great conversation and immensely enjoyed the entire day. I wish he had been our guide for every day of our trip.
My family and I throughly enjoyed our day with “JILL”. The tour of Normandy and the American cemetery was powerful and moving. Jill added substantial depth to the already moving moment of just being there. His little unknown back stories of soldiers was just fascinating not to mention the depth of understanding of the invasion itself and all the miracles that had to happened for the mission to be a success. Things I never knew nor understood. We enjoyed a delightful outdoor lunch at a local apple orchard. They were also a cider and spirt distillery where we got to meet the owner and do a tasting with him. Just so fun and interesting!
Clement and his group made this a once in a lifetime day! Clement is very knowledgeable with tons of information to share. He’s also warm and welcoming. Our experience that day with the champagne maker was truly fantastic and we loved the entire day! Thank you Clement and Eric!!
We absolutely loved this full day tour with Agnes and highly recommend it!! She was super friendly and prepped us during our drive from Paris to Èpernay with lots of information about champagne. We toured Moet et Chandon in the morning which was informative and fun, had a lovely lunch with additional champagne tastings at a restaurant in Hautvillers and then visited Pierre Morlet in the afternoon which was an absolute treat to meet the head of this family-owned house and see things up close. We even got to see a disgorging! This was a fabulous way to spend a day learning about and tasting champagne. À votre santé!
Our group of four had the good fortune of spending the day with Clement from Finding France for a private tour of the D-Day Beaches from Paris. Clement arrived at our Le Marais hotel promptly at 7:30 a.m., as promised. The trip began with a lovely tour and commentary within the city of Paris, as we made our way through and out of the city. On the way to the Beaches, Clement shared a good amount of history and background of WW2 and D-Day, which provided a solid foundation from which to experience the locations to which we were headed. The day far exceeded our expectations, and Finding France gets all of the credit for the success of our day. Be prepared for a little wind and rain at times on the coast, but it won't dampen the day. The story behind the cliff at Pointe du Hoc, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, and the Normandy American Cemetery was all brought to life by Clement, who is a gifted story teller. We opted for a quick lunch (in lieu of longer, more formal affair) to maximize our tour time. We felt very cared for throughout the entire day, with restroom and coffee stops along the way. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the lovely stop at a family farm for cider tasting. Thank you to Clement and his top-notch tour and event company, Finding France, for such an outstanding day.
Clément was absolutely amazing during our tour of Versailles! Very knowledgeable and we loved his sense of humor :) couldn’t recommend him enough!
Great tour of Normandy from Paris. It’s a long drive but Gilles made it fun and informative the whole time. He gave us time to reflect and really take everything in, while also guiding us through multiple sites. Thanks Gille!
Trip to Normandy was the highlight of our trip!
Gilles was a wealth of knowledge on all things Normandy and very personable. It was a great day trip from Paris!
My fifth trip to Paris and I finally made my dream of visiting Giverny come true thanks to Clément! He took exceptional care of me and my six friends. His enthusiasm and knowledge and passion for what he does shines through. A magical and memorable experience. I highly recommend sightseeing with him!!!
We did the Normandy full day private tour from Paris. This tour was absolutely perfect. It’s a long day because it’s about a 3 Hour drive from Paris to Normandy, but it’s with your own personal driver and a very nice van so it was quite comfortable and we had four adults and two children. The tour perfectly hit all of the highlights that we wanted to see in Normandy, including some lunch and a quick stop for some cider. It was quite the perfect day and our tour guide Gilles was amazing. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful trip to Normandy and Mont Saint Michelle arranged by Finding France. Our guide and driver was terrific. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us a wonderful history of the area. Finding France also selected a wonderful hotel and restaurants for us in Bayeux. This was a great experience all around and well worth the fee charged.
We had a wonderful trip to Normandy - the extra $'s for the private was well worth it. Our guide, Agnes, was awesome, very knowledgeable, pleasant and ensured we were satisfied with everything we wanted to see. I highly recommend the trip and Agnes.
Gilles was an excellent tour guide and he provided one of the best tours I have ever experienced. He arrived promptly at our hotel armed with umbrellas to keep us dry on a rainy day. As we left Paris for Normandy, Gilles discussed historical facts about Paris as well as facts about its architecture. It was obvious Gilles was very knowledgeable about the events of WW II but he also provided entertaining stories which made our tour even more enjoyable. We learned so much about France, Normandy, and the events surrounding WW II. He took us to an apple farm and we were able to sample a variety of ciders. We had lunch at a local restaurant where we were able to experience the local culture. This tour was an excellent experience which exceeded our expectations. Thanks Gilles for giving us a memorable experience that we will never forget!
Tour of wineries. Great experience. Long 3 hour drive each way from Paris.
We had a great tour to Normandy! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. She tailored our trip to exactly what we were interested in and wanted to see.
Embarking on a journey through Normandy with Gilles as the tour guide was an experience beyond compare. From the moment we set off, it was clear that Gilles was not only deeply passionate about Normandy’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes but also immensely knowledgeable. Each site we visited was brought to life through his vivid storytelling, blending historical facts with engaging anecdotes that painted a vivid picture of Normandy's past and present.Gilles’s expertise extended far beyond the expected. His ability to answer every question with depth and enthusiasm showcased his dedication to providing a comprehensive and enriching experience. What set Gilles apart was his personal touch. He tailored the tour to our interests, suggesting hidden gems that enhanced our experience of Normandy’s culture. His friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel welcomed and valued, creating an atmosphere that was both educational and enjoyable.Moreover, Gilles's organizational skills were impeccable. The tour was seamlessly executed, with each transition and visit feeling effortlessly coordinated. This allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of Normandy without worrying about the details.In summary, Gilles is more than a tour guide; he is a gateway to discovering the heart and soul of Normandy. His passion, knowledge, and dedication transform a simple tour into an unforgettable journey. Anyone looking to explore Normandy need look no further than Gilles to ensure an experience that is not only educational but truly magical.
We had a great day touring Utah and Omaha beaches plus the U.S. cemetery. Gilles was informative and a wonderful guide for our family.
Our tour with Giles was very interesting and worthwhile. We are very interested in World War II history, and he gave a great tour with lots of information about the war, specific sites, and people. He took us to all of the most important sites of the area, often stopping to explain interesting facts. Giles was also a great guide apart from the history. We visited an awesome Cider tasting place, and the overall conversation all day was great. Overall, it was a very eyeopening journey through Normandy for us, and we would not have been able to learn as much without Giles!
“Our trip to Normandy was both educational and moving. Clement was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. We saw several of the beaches where the troops came ashore on DDay and visited the American museum and cemetery. Standing in the places where so many lost their lives fighting for freedom was an undescribable feeling. We also stopped at a local apple farm and sampled some delicious spirits that are made there. Our guide provided a couple locations for lunch to choose from. We really enjoyed our lunch and getting to visit with our guide and his team. I'd definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting France!”
Absolutely amazing, filed with beautiful memories and love.
A great day trip, we had a wonderful time. Our driver/guide, Gilles was excellent. Will definitely recommend and go again!
Absolutely incredible experience w Gilles and Finding France. Very knowledgeable and sociable. Enjoyed experienced the Champagne region with laughs and great conversation
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Normandy with Finding France. Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area. You can hear the excitement in her voice when she talks about the area. She also took us to some other off the road places that were fun to see as well. She also was a very safe driver and got our group to and from safely. We would use her again!
Fantastic experience that exceeded our expectations. Tour guide was excellent and spoke fluent English. Very interesting tour of the Mercier winery along with lunch and the winery of a small business owner. Very satisfied Australian tourist :).
Totally loved it. Gilles was an amazing tour guide, very informative and the most awesome human you will meet. Thank you for making our trip a memorable one. Highly recommended for a very detailed and entertaining champagne tour. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great Normandy experience
Traveled to Paris and included a trip to Normandy. Our guide and excursion to Normandy was superb. I would highly recommend a small group guided tour with Gilles!
What an amazing experience. We traveled with Gilles and Finding France to Normandy. We learned so much - Gilles was so knowledgeable and had such good information to share about World War II, Operation Overlord, and beyond. The tour was very moving. Highly recommend.
Our tour guide stood as a shining example of professionalism, weaving his deep knowledge of World War II, specifically D-Day and Operation Overlord, into a captivating narrative. More than a simple exploration, this tour was a meaningful journey into the past, where each location held a significant role in the tapestry of history. The strategic placement of enemy bunkers overlooking the Omaha and Utah beach landings was vividly brought to life, serving as a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Through his empathetic storytelling and insightful local knowledge, we gained a profound understanding of these landmarks and their place in the annals of war. Going above and beyond his role as a guide, he smoothed our way by offering essential translation services and facilitating seamless communication. His thoughtfulness extended to providing the convenience of direct hotel pick-up and drop-off, further enhancing our experience. After immersing ourselves in this tour, we emerged deeply satisfied. The guide's professional conduct, passion for history, and commitment to providing a memorable experience left a lasting impression on us. Given our unforgettable journey, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour guide to anyone seeking to explore the historic sites of World War II. His dedication to highlighting the importance of each location within the broader context of the war truly sets him apart.
We used Finding France for a private tour of the D-Day beaches in Normandy. Agnès, our tour guide, was incredibly helpful, picked us up on time and made some great suggestions for our tour along the way. She shared with us lots of information along the way as well as passed out maps and photos for us to see what she was describing to us. Our party of four truly enjoyed the tour. We will book with Finding France again in the future.
Our trip to Normandy was outstanding . The guide we had did a superb job with knowledge that exceeded our expectations.
Very knowledgeable and extremely caring would have again
Gilles was an amazing host and tour guide. He is a natural student of life and history, and all of his reading and study was on display while in the vehicle and on the beaches of Normandy. I highly recommend this Normandy D-Day tour. I learned So much, and he also engaged our children ages 10 and 11.
We had 2 wonderful day tours with Jean Baptiste and Agnès from Finding France. Both guides were interesting and interested in everything the champagne region had to offer. We learned so much on our tours and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend!
Agnes was amazing! I didn’t want to say goodbye because we had so much fun that it was like spending time with a friend for the day. She is smart, friendly and helpful! It made our trip to Paris and Champagne so special. We recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy some time in France and unsure about what to do/where to go. I am very grateful to have met Agnes as well as the people we were introduced to, a wonderful day on our honeymoon, thank you! ♥️
Although we had been to France before, this was going to be our first time in Paris. We were only going to be there a very short time, and wanted to see as much as possible. We chose a customized private guided tour with Finding France with a guide and driver. We were in awe of everything we saw, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Montmartre the Sacré Coeur Basilica, and Saint Germain des Pres. Our guide, Lucia, was fabulous. She was professional, knowledgeable, and witty. She easily adapted our tour according to time, traffic, crowds, etc. Her English was perfect, allowing us to understand everything she was saying. Lucia, and our drivers, and our contact at Finding France were all easy to communicate with either by email, text, or phone. I would use them again without hesitation. We could never have accomplished all that we did if we had been on our own.
Joe, Robin, Val & Lynne took a private tour of Normandy, guided by Clement. It was WONDERFUL. We had a great day and saw all the historical sites. We ate at a terrific local restaurant! What a super time! Thank you Clement and Finding France!
Excellent guide to Normandy!!
Fatah was a wonderful guide for our day trip to Normandy. His insights and knowledge were welcomed and enhanced the experience. He was as kind as he was knowledgeable, I would encourage anyone to book him for their trip to Normandy.
Under the vivacious Katrin, our Finding France tour guide, our small group visited the perfection that is Provence, France. Our base, a beautiful hotel in Sausset les Pins, overlooking the Mediterranean, served as a wonderful starting point for each day's adventure into this truly lovely area of France. Chocolates in Marseille, artistry and handmade goodies in Baux de Provence, Van Gogh in Arles, delicious cheeses in Aix en Provence, lavender, wines, chateaus, oh my! The mix of history, culture, exquisite foods, music, markets, and fun made it a trip of a lifetime. Did I mention the luxurious fragrances of finely crafted soaps and perfumes? All of these wonderful experiences were hewn together in a tailor-made tour whose plan itself was a work of art by Clement and his team at Finding France.
Like seeing places with a good friend. Highly recommend
