Our trip to France and Italy was expertly organized by Audrey. All hotels and transfers were set up and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The tours she picked along with the tour guides we had at each location (Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Portofino, Vernazza, and Florence) were very knowledgeable and fun.

LOVED THIS! Saint Paul de Vence is really the best village. Everyone should try to eat at La Colombe D'or!

Great to get a walking tour of Florence but this was our last day and it would have been nice to have more free time since this tour went for 5 hours, not 3 as expected. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but it was too long for our last day.
