The Hôtel Korner Opéra was a lovely place to stay while I was in Paris. It was extremely close to the Paris Métro and several lovely restaurants and cafés. The staff members were kind and helpful. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and I would gladly stay there again.

As a history enthusiast, the Louvre Museum was a treat to visit. There are so many different pieces of art and relics from throughout history that it is impossible to see everything in one visit. From the remnants of the original fortress to the paintings on the top floor, there is something for just about everyone at the Louvre.

Montmartre is such a unique area of Paris, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour experience. My guide, Aloïs, was absolutely wonderful and knowledgable about the Montmartre area. The history of Montmartre and its unique characteristics make it a lovely place to explore.

The Palais de Versailles is a gorgeous place filled with so much history and art, and I loved exploring the different wings of the palace and learning their history. The palace itself and its artifacts have been very well maintained throughout the years, and I did not have much trouble navigating the rooms.

The Panthéon is such a unique place, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring this landmark and discovering its history. The building itself was pretty quiet and peaceful while simultaneously housing many people like myself, and the representations of the building's history (including the tapestries, monuments, and modern art pieces) are incredible to behold.

I enjoyed this sidecar tour quite a bit. My guide was friendly and very knowledgable of Paris and its history, and I learned quite a bit about the city during the tour. The drive itself was quite lovely, and we were able to see many of the city's landmarks fairly close-up. The tour itself taking place in a vintage motorbike was also exciting.

This hotel in Bayeux is right in town, an excellent location to explore this beautiful Norman town. My only criticism is that we had booked a room for three people, but the room was very small. It had three twin beds, all in a row, and very little space to walk around or put our suitcases. If you need a room for three, I would check to see if they have a bigger accommodation. It really was tight for three adults. Otherwise, it is a lovely hotel. The breakfast was very good.

This hotel was our very favorite! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Since we arrived on a very hot day, we loved having that beautiful pool at our disposal. We were a group of 7, 5 women and two teenage girls, and we all enjoyed our rooms and especially the breakfasts! They were exceptional! The hotel is outside of Tours, so a car is advisable. We did not rent a car, but we were able to Uber into Tours for dinner. We had a private guide who picked us up for our tour of the Royal Castle of Amboise, Clos Lucé and Chenonceau, and that was a great day.

We toured the beaches with Emma, and I highly recommend her. She drove us to Utah Beach, St Mère Eglise, where we toured the Airborne Museum, Point du Hoc, and the Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. She was so informative and gave us great insight to what occurred on those beaches. We all learned so much about DDay and we appreciated all her explanations. At the end of the tour, we were able to see the lowering of the flag while Taps was played, an emotional experience for sure.

This tour with Camille was wonderful! She drove us to Amboise, where we visited Leonardo Da Vinci’s home, Clos Lucé and the Royal Chateau. We then had a wine tasting, followed by a visit of Chenonceau castle. We loved our time with Camille because she was so friendly and informative. When we asked if she could take us to buy something to bring back to eat at our hotel at the end of our excursion, she was so willing to accommodate us. I highly recommend this tour with her.

We had a private guide, Marlene, who picked us up at our Airb&b and drove us to Versailles. We had a half day tour which was excellent. Marlene was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the chateau and the gardens. She was so accommodating and friendly. We really enjoyed the experience.
