Avignon, the Rhône and Provence

26/May

Anne

“A lovely holiday. Not too tiring as we were based in Avignon. Hotel Le Tour l'Horloge was excellent. Excursions well organised and guide at Palais des Papes particularly good. Poorest day was 3 hrs at Isle sur le Sorgues. Shops in France shut for 2 hours at lunchtime and there was little to do. Trains very comfortable and not too much time spent hanging around stations.

Edinburgh, the Highlands and Islands

1/Jun

E Adlington

“An enjoyable tour of a beautiful area. This would have been 5 star but the pace was quite rushed and there were a lot of long coach journeys. Unfortunately there were late changes to the hotels and I only had one night out of eight as originally booked. The biggest change was to move from the Royal Mile at the centre of Edinburgh to Haymarket a mile and a half away. I was only informed of the changes when I received the receipt for my final payment. I have travelled many times with GRJ and not had any problems before but the lack of communication and substitution of inferior hotels have made me reluctant to book again.
