We added this French Basque experience on to a cruise and was so glad we did.

We added this French Basque experience on to a cruise and was so glad we did. We had always heard of Biarritz, the resort of royalty and also the Basque region with its intriguing culture and language. Working with Emma was a pleasure. She recommended staying in Bayonne as our base and it was a delightful choice and so convenient to take the train for all day trips. Hotel Koegui in Bayonne was so nice to come back to each night. We liked the room, breakfast and staff. The artwork was a beautiful touch. Our St Jean de Luz tour was unfortunately canceled but we enjoyed the town on our own. Lauren in Cambo les Bains and Espelette was a great guide. Being Basque, she explained the culture and sites very well. She was very conscious of our time so we made our return train but we did not feel rushed. Vicky in Biarritz was marvelous. We immediately felt a connection and enjoyed our tour immensely. Wish it could have been longer. The Quality Hotel in Bordeaux for our last night was a great location but not very special. It was adequate. We did not have a room as pictured in their online site. The driver to the airport was punctual and a delight to talk with on our drive. Kimkim has again given us the trip we hoped for. Thank you.

We loved Vicky. She met us at the train station where we were going to take a taxi or bus into town but instead her husband was with her to take us. So nice. We had a great walking tour of Biarritz with plenty of history and culture explained. Wish it could have been longer but we had 2 hours and the afternoon to explore on our own.

My family of four (2 adults and 2 adult children (ages 21 and 18) spent 10 days in France. We had six days in Paris and 4 in Nice. When we decided to go to France, I was overwhelmed with all there was to see and do. Not know where to stay or which tours were best for our family, I turned to KimKim for help. Liz took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do on our trip ensuring everyone got to do something they really wanted. The tours were a amazing. An especially memorable tour was the the VIP tour of the Louvre - First to see the Mona Lisa. Adam was our tour guide and he was amazing. He not only was entertaining, he knew exactly how to get to the Mona Lisa before everyone else. We had a few minutes alone to look at the painting and got a family photo. But all our tour guides were fantastic. The people of France were fantastic. We enjoyed eating at the many boulangerie's, learning the subway and just taking in all the architecture. Nice was gorgeous as well. So much history and culture and we had a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. We will remember this trip forever and can't wait to return.

Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Suisse
Nice

Hotel Suisse was a top notch location and had an excellent view. The complimentary breakfast was also very good and appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. The bathrooms felt a little old and were quite tiny. Some of the hotel staff outshined others. Overall, they were nice and accommodating as we had a bit of a snafu when we first arrived. The location was the best part of this hotel. The value wasn't great given the price we paid, however.

Authenticity & Character
Fit the area but not the price point.
Location
Perfect spot with a view of the Mediterranean. Walking distance to a many restaurants and shops.
Staff
Some staff were nice than others.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Rooms were clean. Bathrooms felt really small.
Hôtel Adèle & Jules Paris
Paris

This hotel was really pretty and quaint. The only reason I gave this four stars and not five is that there were some hidden fees we were not aware of and the two single beds we requested were smashed together as one bed. But the location was great. Access to many nearby restaurants and boulangeries as well as the train. The hotel had AC (which is not common in Paris) and was quiet so we were able to get rest. The bathrooms were updated and very nice as well.

Authenticity & Character
It felt Parisian
Location
Access to all the nearby restaurants and the subway.

Staff was nice. They didn't necessarily go out of their way to greet us but they were nice and accomodating.

Ed was fantastic at sharing with us the details of Sainte-Chapelle and the Notre Dame. We learned a great deal about both locations and he shared other information for us as well. He was incredibly nice and took his time to explain the culture and meaning behind these buildings. He also was patient with us as we were still dealing with jet lag from arriving the previous day.

This hotel is in a sanctuary and by design minimalistic. It is very clean but basic. It was just fine for us as it was a lesson in humility.
