The family suite was amazing for us. The water view and small balcony was a plus. Location was great!!

Rooms 604 and 406 were amazing. Very clean and spacious. Staff was outstanding!!

We had a very nice cruise but my daughter got seasick. The captain was great and give us history of the areas we passed. There was a lot of bobbing of the boat so take something for seasickness if you are prone to it. We took wine and snacks and enjoyed the sunset. We really enjoyed this! The photo of the boat attached to this activity is not representative of the boat we were on. It is a small catamaran that hold up to 6 people. It is small but new and clean. No cushiony seats.

Our guide was great! We went to 2 wineries. Chablis is the grape they grow. I thought the wines were okay. They wineries were nice. The second one was very nice to walk around

We had a great table by the window. There was live music and the river cruise boat was clean and very nice. Our server was excellent. The food and wine were excellent! There was a guided tour as well of the things we passed. This was one of my favorite experiences! Kimkim got us an upgraded package so we had red and white wine and a great table.

We got our tickets at the meeting spot and the guides walked us (large group) to the Eiffel Tower. They escorted us through security and then took us to the 2nd floor and then put Ilya in line for the elevator to the top. This was very helpful but there was No skip the line . We had to wait in line with everyone else. Our guide helped us get to the line.

We loved our guide. This was a private tour. We met in Monmartre but the tastings were in a different area. We had coffee, then went to a wine store with charcuterie. They give you a bottle of wine with the charcuterie… our favorite. Everything was delicious! We then went to a cheese shop and tried different cheese la. We purchased some cheese. We went to a jam store and tried different spreads and then ended up at a gelato store. All was good and we enjoyed walking in different neighborhoods .

We had a a small group , 8 people total, good guide and a separate driver. We had a smooth entry and guided tour of Versailles with some time to visit the gardens.

We used the app and had to really check 4 hours prior to see if tickets were available. We were lucky to get tickets and did not have to stand in a long line. Beautiful! This was well worth seeing!

We had a private tour guide. There were no engaging stories or mysteries of the Louvre. She took us through the area of the old moat which was neat and she made sure we saw all the interesting things and what we wanted to see . She was very knowledgeable and nice. She was very soft spoken and hard to hear in a crowded museum. She needs to use a headsets so we can all hear. She was a great guide.

The food wasn’t that good, the cruise was short and there wasn’t live music

This hotel is a bot away from Avignon center and outside the wall. Otherwise it is very quaint with a very nice spa. Clean comfortable rooms, good breakfast and a top quality restaurant with a wonderful dinner.

Top quality hotel in central Lyon. Our only problem was asking for a bag of ice from the concierge desk that never arrived.

Great location on a central corner of The Promenade. We had a spacious room on a lower floor (per request) that was quiet and comfortable. We had been told to expect a "Sea View" room but, unfortunately, did not receive. KimKim was accessible and responsive to us promptly. This hotel had an ice machine (something that I found to be GREAT and not common) and ready access to water coolers. They had a beautiful space for their expansive breakfast buffet that was open to outside. All we had to do was walk out the main entrance in any direction to start seeing the sites, shops, and restaurants/cafes.

This hotel did not feel as centrally located as we expected. A ride into the center of town was quick and not a problem, however. They have a nice pool area that we made use of any chance we could. They have a restaurant/bar that was open for dinner the night we arrived (Thursday) but, oddly, not on the second night we were there. We ordered food to be delivered from an outside source when the restaurant was closed and, even though they have indoor/outdoor dining seating, we were told we had to eat it in our room. They also have a nice breakfast buffet. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with good temp control. We had a nice window with a view overlooking the pool

Small/boutique style. Centrally located in the 6th "district." We did not have the breakfast as part of our arrangement but could see it was quite nice. They have a small outdoor courtyard that was lovely. Overall, a "no frills" hotel but was all we needed for the amount of time we were spending there (most of our time was spent "out & about). I had asked KimKim to keep me on a lower floor and the hotel accommodated that easily. The room was clean and quiet. The beds comfortable. There was construction on the street so there were times the street was closed to cars, making it a little tricky for uber, etc. I would recommend it!

This workshop was pretty quick for the amount of people involved (14). The staff member was quite capable and helpful but it felt like we could have benefited from a bit more time. We learned alot about making a perfume that is a scent based on many scents we prefer. We left with a full bottle of our personal creation and had an opportunity to shop in the perfumery after (without feeling like we HAD to). We enjoyed it so much!

This was a private boat tour that lasted an hour along the shoreline of the Riviera, between Nice and Monaco. Our guide (Wiliam, in English) was so kind. The catamaran was small and nice. It is solar powered and VERY quiet as a result. The whole area & experience was very peaceful and serene. The views were spectacular from the water. MANY ornate villas perched in the cliffsides and yachts in the water. It was just a very relaxing hour after a full day. We really enjoyed it.

IF I had to pick, this would be the favorite outing of the trip. What a beautiful day. Camille, our tour guide (we had a small group of 6), was wonderful. She was personable, informative, timely, etc. The village was perfection. Quaint, scenic, walkable, great (fresh) seafood, and so much more. We spent approx an hour on a small catamaran to see the Calanques. Gorgeous! It was a cloudy day so we couldn't see the full beauty of the blue water UNTIL we were driven to the mountain top and looked down. WOW! The views from up there! In between these two things, we enjoyed shopping/strolling to a perfumery and praline shop. We had time on our own for more shopping and to have lunch. Camille recommended several places and we were glad to have taken her up on her suggestion. We had a terrific lunch by the water. After done enjoying our time there (I'd love to return to stay overnight and take day trips from there), we went to a local, family owned winery (Bodin) for a wine tasting. LOVED this day trip!

This was (unexpectedly & pleasantly) a private tour. We met our tour guide (Aude) for a walking tour of the 4th Arrondissement, which is a nice neighborhood that has a Jewish history and is LGBTQ friendly/dominant today. We learned alot about the history of the neighborhood and visited a Jewish memorial in addition to learning interesting facts and history about chocolate and pastry! The locations for chocolate and pastry tasting each had a story and their samplings were delicious. Aude was a great tour guide!

We were not interested in spending our limited time inside museums all day but definitely wanted to experience the Louvre and some of its highlights. This tour was just right for us. We started spending some time on the exterior grounds, which were very impressive! A group of approx 15 of us were then led through the VERY busy and hectic entrance (and we went through a "secret" entrance that wasn't even as crowded) to an area where the guide explained what we would be seeing on our way to the Mona Lisa. We had been prepared by many a person to have low expectations re seeing the Mona Lisa. I am glad we had fair warning because it was exactly what we were prepped for: CROWDED, small, and no time to stay and admire. Having said that, we wouldn't have missed the chance to see her. After, we were given the opportunity to spend time on our own vs reconvene for a tour through a few more areas. We chose to wander on our own. We saw an exhibit of Haute Couture which was new and fabulous.

We loved this day! We learned so much about how Champagne is made and saw examples of a small winery and a large/industrial one. Our tour guide, Enzo, was very engaging and informative. We loved the small group (6) aspect. There was time to walk around the small town of Epernay to shop and have lunch. We also had the opportunity to tour a beautiful cathedral. At end of day, Enzo took us to the tomb of Dom Peringnon and to a most beautiful overlook of an expansive winery for photos. A very well done and much enjoyed experience

This was relaxing and nice. 3 stars may be a bit "unfair" as we were SO tired from travel. It was convenient in that a boat leaves every hour. Although our ticket came with a time, we weren't pressured to be there at a specific time. There was plenty of room aboard for anyone/everyone to have a coveted outdoor seat. I think, because of something we misunderstood (?), we did not have access to the audio portion. However, we were able to hear some of the highlights and, just seeing the beautiful landmarks all around was great. We were able to walk over to the Eiffel Tower from the dock once finished, which was an added bonus.

This hotel was lovely and overlooking the Riviera next to the famous Hotel Negresco. It was in a great location near restaurants and shopping. The hotel is beautiful with a red carpet leading from the outside in. Our staff was friendly and helpful and greeted us at our car to help take our bags to our room and recommended a wonderful place to eat as we were hungry when we arrived. Our room was beautiful with a convenient bathroom and nice tub/shower, however, the tub was very high to step in to and my husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago. He had a bit of trouble stepping into the tub but we managed ok. We did not ask about changing rooms. The hair dryer was a bit different and got very hot as I was drying my hair due to the way it was made so that was a bit inconvenient. Also, we noticed several times when we were in the lobby that there were times that there was no bellhop to help people with luggage as they were getting out of the car and they were lugging it up the stairs themselves.

This hotel was adorable and couldn't be any more central in the heart of Avignon. It is basically near anything you want to see! The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke English with us. Our room was small but fine for the two of us and the bathroom was convenient. The only issue we had was that there were two steps leading down to the bedroom as you walk through the door. My husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago and found it a bit difficult to navigate those steps. The staff immediately responded and said they would change our room, if needed. We decided that since our stay was short we would stay in the room we were in but appreciated their immediate response to our concern. The buffet breakfast was amazing!! Would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was absolutely beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location! The staff was friendly and spoke English and gave us recommendations for dining along with a helpful map. Our room was beautiful with a large bathroom and huge shower. It was within walking distance of the Old City which is where we spent most of our time. We would definitely book here again!

This hotel was adorable and in a great location near a convenient metro stop. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful and spoke English. The buffet breakfast was amazing with most anything we wanted! The hotel was very clean and within walking distance to the Grand Boulevards metro stop as well as several good restaurants. My only complaint was that our standard room was a bit small and difficult to organize with our luggage. The shower stall in the bathroom was almost too small for my husband who is 5'10" to comfortably shower and wash his hair. And I found the hair dryer very inconvenient as a button had to constantly be pressed for it to work.

This was a truly disappointing experience. The description we were given said we would have a guide that would take us around Monaco to see the sights, including the Prince's Palace and the casino. We basically had a driver that dropped us off in Monaco and told us he would pick us up in 1 1/2 hours. We had no idea where to go or what to do and didn't have time to get on a tour bus. We went to the casino, saw a small harbor and walked back to the van. Very disappointing as this was something we were really looking forward to. I don't even know what La Turbie is because we didn't actually go there. We went to a perfume factory and had a very quick tour then the driver took us to Èze, dropped us off, and said he would pick us up in 40 minutes. We barely had time to walk up the hill and back down. Not sure what happened here but it was definitely a waste of time and left us very disappointed.

My husband and I were on a 12 day tour of France with Avignon being one of the cities we visited. This chateau was about 30 minutes away by taxi. It was one of the best and most memorable activities of our trip! We went in mid-May which was before wedding and high tourist season started so the chateau and gardens were open to us. Normally, they are closed off if someone has the chateau booked for a wedding event so I would recommend going during low-tourist times. Our guide took us all around the gardens, olive groves and vineyards and gave us some history. She was wonderful! We then went into the chateau for our wine and olive oil tastings. This was a beautiful experience! We decided to stay for lunch which was outside under a magnificent, old tree and the food was excellent, definitely worth the splurge! I would recommend this tour for sure and would do it again!

This activity was a favorite of our 12 day tour of France! Our guide, Shirine, was excellent and took great care of our 10 person group. The stops we made throughout the tour were perfect. The meats and wine, followed by the cheese and wine, amazing! Shirine told us a lot of history of Leon throughout the tour. Three hours passed by very quickly! I would definitely recommend this tour!

This experience was ok but we would rather have had dinner at one of the wonderful Leon restaurants in town. The food was only ok and the wait staff seemed inexperienced. We had a difficult time even finding the boat as there was nothing really to show where we were supposed to meet. The greeting on board was lukewarm and the narration throughout the boat ride was muffled and hard to hear. I would unfortunately not recommend this tour.

This experience was truly amazing! From the time we stepped on board, we were taken care of. We were handed champagne, dinner orders were taken, and wine was poured. The wait staff was obviously experienced and checked on us frequently to make sure our experience was going well. The singer on board was wonderful and really added to the ambiance and the food was excellent! We loved it start to finish!

Something got mixed up with our tour so we were expecting something else so this was a bit less than what we expected but still enjoyable. We tasted three Parisian wines and two cheeses with one other couple which we enjoyed. This was held in a wine shop so our host was also the owner and had to stop to wait on customers during our experience. However, we took this time to get to know the other couple we met and enjoy the wine and cheese. If you are looking for a serious wine and cheese tasting experience this may not be your ticket, however, if you want to relax and enjoy good wine and cheese with other tourists, this one was nice.

This was a perfect tour for my husband and I on our trip to Paris. We only had 3 days in Paris before moving on to another place in France so we needed something that was fairly brief but gave us a good overview of some of the best things to see in the Louvre. Our guide was Anaïs and she was perfect! My husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago and she was most attentive to his needs while directing our small group of 8 to some favorite sights. Would definitely recommend and do this one again!
