Today we cross the border into France. Once a small fishing village, Cannes is now a glamorous seaside town considered to be one of the best social hubs in Europe, as well as playing host to the annual film festival in May. Take time to check out the beauty and architecture of Le Suquet, with its cobbled streets and breath-taking views, or sit at street side tables and enjoy the favoured hobby of people watching up and down the lovely marina.

We will then continue on to Grasse, known for being France’s perfume capital. Surrounded by beautiful blossom fields, Grasse is a stunning destination and is filled with lovely sights, such as Saracen Tower, the International Museum of Perfume and the Church of Plascassier.

Monaco is famous for its laid-back atmosphere, and we will certainly enjoy a relaxing day out here. There’s more than enough to keep us busy, too, with museums, gardens, monuments and much more to look forward to.

At the western end of the resort is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling centre which has made Monte Carlo the playground of the rich and famous.

Located very close to the border of France and Italy, Menton is, in many ways, more Italian than French.

Long journey home 8 hours travelling in the UK alone. Hotel food was hardly warm apparently an improvement on the week before.

Relaxing way to travel. Holiday starts from the minute you step on the coach. Beautiful excursions. Friendly drivers. Nothing to think about or organise. All the planning is dome for you.

Not too bad. Hotel staff friendly but food and drink not great - and too far to walk elsewhere for a reasonable alternative. We did go to the places advertised - the main point of the trip!

The husband and wife team, Tim and Caroline Roberts, looked after us very well and are excellent drivers. I would join and recommend their tours in the future. The tour was well planned and executed by the duo. We spent two night outbound and inbound in Reims, the champagne country of France. It would have been lovely to have included a trip to one of the cellar tours.

The crew were excellent. The coach was old and cramped and was due to be decommissioned in the following 3 weeks. The food was basic, how I didn't get poisoned by the so called swordfish (pictured), well I must be made of strong stuff. The drinks inclusive was a joke. Free drinks between 7 and 10pm but dinner was 7.30 till gone 9pm. The hotel filled with rowdy teens on the 3rd day making it impossible to sleep. The tours were interesting. Very early starts, I think I'll stay clear of coach holidays in future.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.
