Great company to work with when planning out your next oversees excursion. I purchased their Provence trip back in 2005. Every year since then, I've been reviewing their trips and planning to go on another. I've been fortunate to travel oversees with my husband..that is the ONLY reason why I haven't purchased another trip with Untours. They added Buenos Aires a couple years ago and that is my #1 pick for my next trip. Can't wait. Why are they special? They take care of you when you need to be taken care of and still allow you the freedom to roam. I had a medical concern while in Provence and the host family (max and regine) helped by directing us to an english speaking doctor. They were wonderful. They also picked us all up at the airport, drove us to the car rental and then back to their place for orientation. They provided us with some driving tips and information on the area and we were "off to explore." Before your trip, you receive a map and a book of information the untours group think are "off the beaten track" that you may want to explore. They certainly did not let us down. Anyone enjoy wine??? Fantastic Rose and Gigondas and Chateneuf du Pape! I don't work for Untours...but I want to. :-)
