An interesting and most enjoyable holiday. Terry, our Tour Manager, was knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. Hotel room facilities good. Lauren, coach driver in Dijon area, skilful and helpful. Roomy and comfortable coach. Can't fault the holiday at all, (just wish French stations provided more luggage trolleys!)
