Customer Feedback
Customer reviews for the Churches of Provence & French Countryside Private Tour paint a mixed picture.
While there are no rave reviews, the lone one-star critique from Eric_W suggests some significant issues. He complained about the tour guide’s absence, the driver’s tardiness, poor communication, a rushed itinerary, and a lack of dining options.
This negative feedback contrasts with the tour’s overall 3.5-star rating, though that’s based on just three reviews. Travelers should weigh this feedback carefully and consider whether the tour aligns with their expectations and priorities.
