5.00This 2 day experience was so wonderful in many ways! We saw many beautiful and historic sites-quaint small villages, museums, the Normandy beaches and of course, miles of gorgeous French countryside. Then there was Cyrus, our guide. He was committed to making our experience just what we wanted it to be! He was a wealth of knowledge about historical events but also the French way of life. He patiently answered so many of our naive questions and didn't rush us at any stop. He also helped us interact with the local people, explaining customs that, as Americans, we didn't know. In the end, we felt like we were leaving a friend behind! It was a great experience and we still talk about different aspects of that trip! We are hoping to book with Cyrus to Bruge, Belgium in the future!

1.00Clewel Travel is unprofessional. They did not provide the service promised. First it was suppose to be English Speaking. He was not! Second - They mixed up the tour we were suppose to do with another one. When we told them this was not on our tour their solution was to compromise the complete tour. We paid up front and traveled thousands of miles to see the sites promised and they expected us to be happy with the compromise because it was better than nothing at all. They provided 2 out of the 7 places. Our charge was over $3,000 for 2 people and when we asked for a refund they offered $200 Last - Viator will not be in your corner. They advertise that they vet each tour company but they don't because even after being informed about this situation this same tour company still has this service listed on Viators website.
MSM is magical!

4.00The drive thru Loire Valley was was lovely and the Chateaus exceeded my expectations. Our guide and driver were friendly, organized and competent. MSM was especially wonderful and we enjoyed having our guide be able to join us on that tour. Hotel was immaculate with a great breakfast, would love to have been able to preorder dinner at the hotel. Well worth the money though the brandy tasting was clearly a 'commercial' stop. Be nice if that could be adjusted for the smaller groups.
