Provence Tour Guest Testimonials
"We always love the cooking classes on your tours, because they're both informative and lots of fun. The meals were excellent, as always! And, another of the many reasons why we come on your tours, the "Guide" ...who made our Provence trip very special, was warm and delightful as the sunshine of Provence. We love how everyone everywhere we go is always so happy to see you and welcome us, complete strangers, to their homes, and open up their homes to share a part of their French life with us. We've taken other small group, walking tours with other companies, BUT then we found your Off the Beaten Path trips, and once we found you, that was it for us. You offer the very BEST trips in the travel market!! You truly do, no other company even comes close in comparison! We have NEVER been disappointed...And although we had already done a Provence walking trip with another company about six years ago, we wanted to come back to Provence just to be able to come back with you! Thanks for everything!" Charles and Susan Kollar, Princeton, New Jersey - (Have been on 3 tours with Off the Beaten Path - Best Adventures in Provence Tour, Loire Valley Castles & Culinary Tour, Bordeaux Wine Tasting & Gourmet Harvest Walking Tour)
"I cannot tell you how fantastic our tour was with you! We had so much fun and saw and did so many unique things. We would have never been able to do any of this on our own. We never realized how much fun a small group tour could be! You have such a talent and are so great with people! The tour was all I had hoped for - and more!! Many many thanks!! We had the best time and a huge bonus was all the great people on the trip were so fun! I'm coming home with 8 new friends!" Paul and Julie Funchess, Beaumont, TX (Best Adventures in Provence Tour)
