Personalized trips to France

This was a very nice hotel and had a ‘beachy’ feel. The staff were friendly and helpful. They stowed our luggage until we could check in and even let us check in early. We didn’t get to experience breakfast due to an early departure.

This hotel was very nice and comfortable. The view out of our window was very nice with a view of a tall plane tree and a courtyard. The staff were very helpful and accommodating, helping to store our luggage until check-in and keeping our wine chilled. The breakfasts were very nice and staff checked on each table to take custom coffee orders. They might have been able to make custom breakfast orders, but I didn’t ask. The variety is fruits, bakery items and other oatmeal & muesli items was a step beyond other breakfasts. Unfortunately the yogurts offered were just a basic well known brand we have in the US and not that special or unique.

This was obviously a very nice hotel. The staff were especially nice and accommodating. The breakfast was pretty decent but was billed separately. The yogurt was OK, not as good as the Paris hotel. I’m not sure if one could order a cooked to order item, but I didn’t pursue it. The general fruit selection were very good as was bread and bakery items were especially good here.

Of all the hotels, this hotel had a wonderful selection of breakfast items, had drinks and snacks available all day, ability to do custom orders, and the top tasting yogurt of them all. The bed was comfortable and we were in a lively part of the city with access to almost everything. The hotel was pretty basic, but staff were great.

One of my favorite all time museums. I enjoyed all the detailed narration of all the paintings and availability in English. I could visit there each time I go to Paris.

Hotel grounds are amazing but the bellman was not real helpful. No chance of checking in early. Wait staff was slow (someone delivered hot food on trays and left it sitting for a few minutes waiting on another server instead of serving right away which happened to multiple tables). French fries were cold and soggy and ham sandwich was dry and flavorless. Breakfast buffet was good. Room was big and nice.

Rooms were great and management staff was amazing but breakfast buffet was terrible. Not a lot of choice, inconsistent, ran out of mocha, eggs, bananas. Employees were chatting in the kitchen and slow to refill the buffet. Front desk was able to get us incredible dinner reservations each night.

The staff was great. Able to get a ride into town to eat dinner. The Michelin Star restaurant was outstanding! Breakfast was amazing. Property was beautiful.

Did not go on this tour as it was scheduled at check-in time which would have given us no time to enjoy the hotel. Should have been scheduled between 1-3.

We visited the Pope's Palace but it was incredibly hot inside.

Pretty countryside but too far to drive it all in one day.

If you are going to Girona, you have to stay here. A bit of luxury right in the middle of the old town next to all the great spots to eat and drink. Very luxurious rooms. Felt like a castle.

spunky guide kept a good pace. Had pop culture info to share.

Very manageable city. Great food. wonderful architecture.

Nice is a great location to explore other surrounding areas but Nice itself is very populated and seems to have lost it's charm. Our guide to Monaco was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and we appreciated that he is a local. He was very good.

Out guide was amazing and share stories of Dali's life and influences. His appreciation of the artist was contagious.

We were truly impressed at what this City had to offer - much more interesting than what we had expected. This may be due to our exceptional guide who went out of the way to show us the history and interest of Girona.

While a beautiful drive to the monastery and exceptional views, there was little historical information shared.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew the town's history as well as the history of the Jewish people . She was open to our questions about the current Jewish experience in Barcelona. She covered a good amount of territory - both physical and historical time frame.

Our guide was great and very enthusiastic. Very knowledgeable about the history and construction - and excellent English language skills. She had great stories and kept us involved.
