WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?
This trip is perfect for open minded travelers looking for new experiences, to make new friends, and to immerse themselves into a new culture!
Unlike many other group travel companies, we want our group sizes to feel comfortable and intimate. We don’t want you leaving the group trip not being able to remember everyone’s name! We want to create an environment where everyone is able to get to know each other and make friends for life.
UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS FOR SOUTH OF FRANCE
- Be up for car and train rides! The best way to travel through this region and the smaller towns is via car or train.
- We will be doing a lot of walking throughout the towns to visit popular spots and explore! Make sure to pack comfy shoes.
- We are two different areas within Provence: the countryside and the coastline. Ideally, your flights will arrive in Marseille and depart from Nice.

HOTELS & PRICING
- In Europe, it’s common for the same room type in a hotel to differ in size based on its placement in the building, therefore not all rooms will be the exact same size or have the same decor.
- All pricing is based on double occupancy per hotel room. If you would like to inquire about having a single room, the price and room will be based upon availability.
EXPERIENCES & FREE TIME
- We want to provide the classic sought over activities in these destinations while also making them unique. We work with only the best partners to curate our group experiences.
- All experiences included in the itinerary are fixed into the price and you are unable to opt out of those.
- You will have some time in each location to explore on your own and we will provide a list of suggestions for you!
PRE/POST TRIP
- For those of you wanting to arrive early or extend your stay – we can help with that! We would be happy to assist you in arranging your pre or post trip!
TRAVEL INSURANCE
- We will require everyone to have travel insurance for this trip! You can purchase this insurance through us or through your own provider but this will cover things like lost luggage, flight delays, medical coverage, and more. We offer very affordable travel insurance options!
FLIGHTS
- It is best to book your flight in advance as soon as you are able, especially since we are traveling at a popular time.
- We always recommend booking your flights directly with the airlines to receive the best cancellation policy and have the best customer service when it comes to canceled flights, missed connections, or lost luggage. Booking with a third party can be hit or miss when you are trying to get help!
- If you have questions about booking your flights, we will be happy to help!
- Flights should be booked at least one month before departure so we can appropriately schedule the transfers from/to the airport. There will be two departure times based on everyone’s flight schedule to accommodate as many as possible.
MEALS
- Any meals mentioned in the itinerary are included in the price. All other meals are at your own expense. We will have nightly reservations at restaurants every night if you would like to join the group, but we will provide other recommendations for you.
SAFETY
- Safety is very important to us! For group activities and travel during the trip we will all be together. During your free time we ask that you let us know where you are headed and when you plan to be back.
- We will create a group chat for everyone to stay in contact with one another, and we recommend when going off on your own to go off in pairs!
- We will be staying in and only visiting safe areas of the city.
