1.00Our guide was a young university student who arrived late and was dressed like he had just gotten out of bed. He driving was terrible bordering on dangerous especially on trip home. He knew virtually nothing about the sites we visited and used laminated picture cards on occasions. He had an extremely strong French accent and even said that we wouldn't understand him due to his accent. His lack of interest in the tour was very apparant. Luckily for my husband i had been to the sites before and was able to give him some information. A sad way to end a wonderful 5 week holiday in France. A total waste of time and money and if they cannot get a better guide do not offer the tour.
