The Rhone cruise was excellent, the Amadeus Provence immaculate with great cabins and an amazing friendly and helpful crew. The off ship excursions were well organised and of just about the right duration. I would give 5 stars to this part of the tour The journey to the French Riviera by train and then back to Lyons was spoilt by the commuter train we took from Nice to Marseille which was very crowded, otherwise the trains were comfortable and we had allocated seating. The Aston Scala hotel in Nice was disappointing, room was average, food just adequate and it is the first hotel I have ever stayed in where we were refused a drink with our meal even when we went to the bar to request one! Not sure what was going on at the hotel but the manager needs to get his act together. Despite that we had a great holiday and will definitely travel with GRJ again.

Spoiled by Camargue trip. No chance to see wildlife and taken to a poor seaside resort that was not mentioned in the itinerary

A varied and enjoyable experience. Wonderful sights, a very comfortable boat. Not too crowded so didn't feel threatened by Covid. Organisation was good and staff very friendly.

French Riviera was excellent. Hotel, first class, and the excursions also. Meals on the river cruise boat on the Rhone could have been better but the excursions were very good.

We had booked this cruise in 2019 and because of COVID it was postponed twice so we finally got our holiday a few weeks ago. It was wonderful, busy as usual with great food lovely company and a guide who had stepped in at the last minute. She was as expected professional and went above and beyond because of the train strikes here. The holiday was wonderful.
