If you are looking to explore France and want to have a trip of a lifetime - no need to look anywhere else!! Contact Nicolas and you will have the most amazing experience! Nicolas’ knowledge of the country and it’s history, his attention to details, his expertise and professionalism are nothing short of impressive! We visited many incredible towns during our travels across Province and The French Riviera with Nicolas. Wineries, horseback riding, fine restaurants, breathtaking views, incredible chateaus and historic sites - Nicolas set up a phenomenal itinerary for us that made our trip memorable forever! And he was there for us throughout the entire trip!

We had four wonderful days in Dordogne with the best guide and tour leader Nicolas. Always in good spirits and showing us the best places. We enjoyed every moment. This was the 4th trip with Nicolas visiting other parts of France. The trip is always well planned and sometimes a nice surprise as the concert in the church. we love every moment and will come back! Cecilia and Peter and friends

Private Tours In France is a fantastic tour organizer. Nicolas is uniquely qualified to provide the best suggestions for luxury hotel/villa stays, private tours of the best museums and expert guides throughout our visit. We have worked with other tour companies in other countries - Nicolas Leal is by far the best of the best for France!

The tour with Nicholas was the absolute best part of our 2.5 month trip throughout Europe. He guided us through some of our best experiences and we could not have enjoyed it more. We spent 5 days seeing the very best of the Loire Valley in a way tailored to our pace and interests with Nicholas adapting plans all along the way as he got to know us. I highly recommend his services!

Sensational Destination Management Company (DMC)! Nicolas provided excellent service. His knowledge of the inventory and small boutique hideaways was outstanding. He is very responsive and works very well with understanding your needs.

Couldn't Be More Delighted! As a couple we have traveled a bit around the world. We just returned from 10 days in France, with Private Tours in France. It was a wonderful trip. We had 3 nights in Paris, 3 in Provence, and 3 in Cannes. What made it so great was the personal, highly professional and deeply experienced wisdom and charm of the company’s principal, Nicholas Leal. Every single expert he hired was outstanding, knowledgeable, personable, and brilliant! Every single hotel he recommended fit our budget and was excellent! Every single restaurant, whether a Michelin-starred or local brasserie, was delicious and very tasteful, in all ways. Nicholas was with us the entire trip, personally or always available at any moment, by text or phone. I could go on and on about the richness of the tour, in personal connections, history, art, food, wine, accommodations, that provided an otherwise unavailable understanding of the various regions the people of those regions. I will simply say that every penny we spent with Nicholas came back to us several folds in a once-of-a-lifetime trip. We cannot recommend him (or anyone) more highly! You will be deeply satisfied and grateful that you worked with him. Finally, we now consider that we also have a delightful, honorable, very smart, very gracious new friend in France! Bonne Chance, Mes Amis! Steve and Lara

Dordogne has some exqusite experiences to offer, above all the prehistoric caves, but also a natural grotto, among many other things. The exploration of the world of truffels must also be especially mentioned. The visit war lead by Nicolas, as always well organized, attentive and service minded with humour. His services can be warmly recommended.

If you're looking for the best agency for planning your next trip to France, you've found it. From the initial contact email and phone calls to the planning phase to our final itinerary, every part of our July 2023 trip to the Loire Valley was thoughtfully curated and customized by Nicolas and his team. They were willing and able to pivot when needed and went over and above to ensure moments of surprise and delight throughout the itinerary. No ask was too big, no detail was missed. And, when a third party was no longer able to accommodate a planned event, Nicolas and team came up with something just as memorable for us. In addition, the care and attention given to our family's well-being and happiness (even after we had left the Loire Valley and were on our own) was exceptional and special. We didn't just book a family vacation in France -- we shared an unforgettable experience together in the Loire Valley thanks to Nicolas and team. I would 100% work with them again.
