Loire Valley Delight NO HOTEL HOPPING caught my eye! Everything we needed was there for us. The Loire Valley Tour was a fantastic experience. Guide, Christy, was so knowledgeable concerning the royalty and four chateaux, even humorous but so interesting. Our chauffeur, Christine drove us carefully from city to city and threw in many interesting tidbits regarding French history, as she is a native of the area. The cooking classes (and eating and drinking absolutely delicious wine from the area) were a favorite of mine...hands on experience with the best master chefs. I was able to cook some of these recipes when I returned home. Thank you to Damien, Louisa and Fred, Angelique and Christoph, our master chefs who welcomed us into their homes or restaurant. The OTBP Loire Valley Tour does not disappoint, it delights!!! Merci, Pat Weichle

Christy's team of Philippe and Summer… Christy's team of Philippe and Summer were amazing! Our trip to Provence was all we had hoped for and more. The itineraries were filled with opportunities to explore the art, culture, history, and food/wine of the area. It was wonderful to arrive and just lean in to all that Provence has to offer. We felt so well cared for!

Lovely 5 days Lovely 5 days. One hotel and reasonable pace of activities, not to mention the perfect weather made for an enjoyable " tour". Highlights were wine tasting and lunch in Chateau Neuf de Pape and swimming in the sea in the pretty town of Cassis. Despite how close to perfect it all was I still find the cost to be very high. I guess my Canadian dollar doesn't go very far!

Fantastic time Fantastic time. Loved everything we did - even the heat! Having to eat fabulous food & drink even better wines - a highlight 😊 David & Philippe looked after us extremely well & kept us entertained- thank you, it was so much fun - even the jokes 😁😁 Hotel Gounud looked after us extremely well - loved the pool at the end of the day not to mention the air conditioning 👌 Would highly recommend Off the Beaten Path & looking forward to receiving the recipes from the cooking class & also the pictorial evidence of our time in Provence. 😘

Off the beaten path tour of Loire… Off the beaten path tour of Loire Valley was wonderful! Every day was a new experience traveling comfortably by van while staying in the same lovely hotel with breakfast included each morning! We saw several castles, a local winery with a catered lunch and 2 cooking classes with renowned chefs complete with dinner and wine afterwards. C’est magnifeat! Would recommend this tour immensely!
