I’m also delighted that your Paris tasting tour guide made such an impact. Those experiences are always so much richer when the guide brings the history, flavors, and stories of the neighborhood to life, and it sounds like you had exactly that.
It means a lot that you shared this, and I’m so glad these guided experiences became highlights of your trip. If you ever decide to explore more of France or beyond, I’d love to help you plan the next adventure.

A wonderful trip!

Definitely a dream come true for us. Just a few things with planning and communication that didn’t go through. We had asked for twin beds but neither of the hotels were aware of this, and the tour of Versailles said it was an e-bike tour in the itinerary which was preferable, but it was not actually e-bikes.

Otherwise, everything else was amazing and we had a great time. I loved the free day in Nice and actually went to Monaco on that day, and the guided tour of Antibes, Cannes, and St. Paul de Vence was my favorite activity. Both of the tasting tours were great and high quality and the hotels were perfectly located. I also enjoyed the train ride and appreciated the private transport to and from the airport.

Hi Sylvie,
Thank you so much for sharing your reflections — I’m truly glad to hear this trip was a dream come true for you. It means a lot to know that the free day in Nice, your visit to Monaco, and the guided tour of Antibes, Cannes, and St. Paul de Vence were highlights. I’m also thrilled the tasting tours, hotel locations, train experience, and private transfers all added to the experience.
I really appreciate you letting me know about the items that didn’t go as planned. I’m so sorry the twin‑bed request wasn’t communicated to the hotels — that should have been handled smoothly, and I’ll make sure this is corrected for future trips. I also apologize for the mix‑up regarding the Versailles tour. The itinerary should always reflect the correct activity type, especially when the distinction (like e‑bike vs. standard bike) matters for comfort and enjoyment.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I’ll be following up with our partners to ensure these issues don’t happen again.
Most importantly, I’m so happy you still had an amazing time overall. Thank you again for trusting me with your travels — it’s truly a joy to help create these experiences for you.
Warmly, Liz, Dili and Kate

I had dreamed about visiting the South of France for 30 years, and it was time to go!

Audrey was excellent in designing a tour that included everything I was interested in seeing and experiencing.

The hotels she chose were unique and charming. The guides she arranged were knowledgeable, engaging and fun to travel with. And when there was a transportation snag (train strike), she stepped right in and made it right so I could get to my destination in time.

The pace of the travel was excellent - usually three nights in one town with day trips to local sights - so I was able to settle in for a few days and really experience the locale.

Honestly, it could not have been better planned or executed. I appreciate what Audrey did for me in making my dream come true

Casa Blanca B&B
Bordeaux

Tucked away on a residential street in Bordeaux, this was a surprise. Close to the tramway with easy access to the main part of town, it was quiet and restful. The staff was very helpful in figuring out how to get tram tickets and where to board. They also did a cooked to order breakfast rather than a buffet and I enjoyed what they served.

This was a fun day. Enjoyed seeing Arcachon. I didn't have the right footwear to climb the sand dune, but enjoyed sitting in a cafe waiting for the group to return. A surprise was meeting a friend from my hometown in the tour group. She had moved away, and we hadn't seen each other in a few years. We had a lovely time catching up (and speaking English)!
