Important Things To Know About Our Normandy & Brittany Tours - FAQs
These are some of the questions I get asked about our Normandy & Brittany tours so take a read and if you have any other questions, contact me via the enquiry box below.*
How many days and nights do the tours go for?
Our Normandy & Brittany tours go for 7 complete, fully escorted days and 6 nights accommodation in boutique hotels with each lady enjoying their own private room with ensuite bathroom.
How many people go on your tours and can single people join your tours?
Absolutely, single ladies are most welcome - that's who our tours are specifically designed for. We love that we can offer women an opportunity to travel to France that otherwise might not travel together and to create lasting memories and friendships. To ensure our tours are personable we take a maximum of 7 ladies, so including myself we will be an awesome group of 8 lady travellers. You can come alone, bring a daughter or a girlfriend.
If you have a partner or husband that you really want to travel with, contact us for our custom tour options. We have taken couples and groups of x3 couples to France, so there is no need to miss out just because you wish to travel together. Let us know via the contact form below.
How do I book and pay?
First let us know you're interested and we'll send you the Itinerary and Terms and Conditions - and of course answer any questions you might have.
If you wish to confirm your booking, a 25% non-refundable deposit is required, or the total tour amount if your booking request is less than 90 days prior to the tour commencement date. Payment of the balance of the tour price, that is 75% of the tour cost is due 90 days prior to the commencement of the tour, unless booking is made less than 90 days prior to tour commencement date.
Tour deposits and all other monies can be deposited into our business account via EFT or into our business PayPal account - invoices will have payment option details. All fees are quoted in Australian dollars. If you pay by credit card, surcharges or merchant fees may be payable in addition to the fees. Purchasing travel insurance is a condition of booking a tour.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes absolutely. Purchasing your own travel insurance is a condition of booking a tour. A copy of your travel insurance documents will need to be provided at the time of your booking.
What happens if I do not want to participate in any arranged activity? Can I get a partial refund?
Unfortunately, we cannot refund any portion of the tour price for non-participation in any planned activity.
Can I have a room to myself?
Absolutely, travelling is super fun but at the end of the day, a private room and private bathroom is just what we need to kick off our shoes, lay down and ponder our incredible day of sightseeing. A French Collection tours are quoted including a private room with private bathroom per guest. Free WIFI in most hotels means connecting with family and sharing your travels on social media is easy too.
Why are your tours women only?
Well, to put it simply, men are just not the same as women. Believe me I know. I have been seriously travelling the world for the last 30 years, the last 10 more so in England and France, with my husband, two sons and daughter. It has been a privilege to grow and travel together as a family, but I know that us girls enjoy different things and approach travel differently. We will laugh, walk and do just what us girlfriends want, and on our own timetable.
I am not sure if I am fit enough for one of your tours.
To fully experience the stunning regions of Normandy and Brittany we will be walking a lot. Cobbled villages, picturesque harbours and sandy beaches await us. Ground may be uneven on the coastal pathways and beaches and city walls have steps to climb. Please read the tour itinerary to understand the style of tour this is and if it’s appropriate for you.
By booking a tour you warrant that you are fit enough to participate in the tour activities. If you are unsure at all, please let us know and we can go into further detail.
Can I arrive before the tour starts or stay on in Paris after it finishes?
Of course! The tour is designed to start and end at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. All guests will be met at the airport and then we'll continue on adventuring together for 7 days before returning to the airport where you can catch your flight home or on to further travel. Catching a cab or train into Paris is easy too.
Do you offer any other tours to France?
Yes, as well as taking guests to Brittany, we offer 7 day escorted tours to Paris where you'll walk the streets, eat in local cafes, take your time shopping and feel like a Parisian as you immerse yourself in the way of life that is Paris. To find out more read about our Classic Paris Tours here.
