Our journey, your adventure
Discover the story behind France Authentic Tours, our passion for France, and our commitment to crafting unforgettable, authentic experiences just for you. We're delighted to share our journey with you.
Our French roots, your unique tour
After 23 years living in New Zealand, the UK, and the US, we decided to settle back in the beautiful Loire Valley. Since our return in 2018, we've had the pleasure of organising numerous trips for our overseas friends visiting France. This experience inspired us to create our Tour Operator company, helping other international visitors plan their perfect holiday in some of France's most stunning regions.
We know planning an overseas trip, organising visits, logistics, and finding the right accommodation can be time-consuming and daunting. Our local knowledge simplifies all of this, offering peace of mind and saving you precious time by leveraging our first-hand experience.
Crafting your custom French experience
We believe every person is unique, and so should every tour be. That's why each France Authentic Tour is custom-made to adapt to your preferences. Through our own travels, we've found that the most lasting memories come from small, custom-made tours where you connect with locals and experience unique adventures. This belief guides us.
We carefully select each B&B, ensuring you can truly engage with the owners, often over a delightful dinner at their place. We also hand-pick unique activities that aren't typically accessible to the average overseas tourist, ensuring authentic, unforgettable moments.
Memories that last a lifetime
When you travel with FK Tours, whether on a cycling tour, a self-drive adventure, or a guided small group tour, you'll enjoy a truly unique experience. You'll meet many locals through the special activities we organise and with the welcoming owners of the B&Bs where you'll stay each night. You'll cherish the memories of delicious home-made dinners, thoughtfully arranged to simplify your trip each day. No need to worry about choosing a restaurant, or finding it fully booked or closed – we take care of it all, so you can simply relax and savour the moment.
