A great weekend!
Had a great weekend attending The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, staying in Chantilly.
Everything was very well organised, from arranging flights and airport transfer, to a lovely group meal on the Saturday, giving you an opportunity to meet others on the trip. Looking forward to next year's trip.

A fantastic trip!
Myself and my partner had the pleasure of staying in Chantilly and then attending the Arc de Triomphe. It was a fantastic trip Marc, Simon, Harry and Alex were first class.
I would highly recommend Venatour to anyone. Thank you so much guys.

Arc Weekend
We were very difficult in wanting to do things that did not totally fit in with the norm. We were attracted to the tour by the fact it was based in Chantilly, not some soulless high rise hotel in a Paris suburb. Marc could not have been more helpful and accommodating in making sure everything worked smoothly for us. Everything worked like clockwork and we had a brilliant weekend, great racing as well as other interesting things organised. Marc and Neil were well informed and good company, and were always available for help and advice without being intrusive.

Very skilled in tailoring the experience.
Our first guided tour of any description (being averse to any set itinerary and having the spirit of a cat, like a caged Lion…😁). However Marc was an excellent herder of cats!
Very skilful in tailoring the experience to the individual; we did our own thing but was always kept in the loop and joined the group and events as we wanted. And when Gatwick threw a curveball by cancelling a bunch of flights, Marc and the team juggled all the chaos like pros. Hats off to them - it was purr-fectly handled! Thanks guys loved it.
