Beau Voyage

Great location, attentive staff, large clean comfortable rooms and a great breakfast. Unique hotel that provided a fantastic experience.

Our stay in Arles at the Maison Douce Arles was a quiet oasis located in the center of the city, within easy walking of Roman monuments and great restaurants. Our hosts at Maison Douce Arles had an incredible varied breakfast and gave good tips for our time in Arles including making reservations at the Mesa, an excellent relatively new restaurant with a daily changing menu.

We stayed at Mas de Peint in the Camargue for five nights. The staff at this country house were always available. The house grounds are set within a working ranch and farm with great walks past horse and bull pastures, along rice fields, apple orchards and all the way to the Rhône. We were often up early and needed to leave before the scheduled breakfast time and the kitchen staff accommodated our schedules by opening breakfast early and offering to prepare picnic lunches. The evening dinner by Chef Dan Rodrigues truly did reflect the country and I am sure the kitchen and chef will soon have their star.

Do not miss the incredible dinner at this starred restaurant.

I highly recommend this outfitter for horse riding in the Camargue. The guide Amelie is extremely knowledgeable and personable and led us on an incredible adventure through the Camargue.

Kayaking with Manu is incredible experience. He guided through a windy excursion the Rhône and while tailoring the adventure to our skill levels. He was a great guide and instructor and gave us inside view of the Rhône an estuaries.

Boutique Hotel in heart of Saint Germain. Stylish, quiet, and intimate. No gym, laundry facilities or fridge/microwave in room but you have an awesome hotel in a super convenient location. The onsite breakfast is excellent and the service is top-notch.

Mid-sized hotel with large hotel amenities but small hotel intimacy. Rooms are spacious and quiet and the breakfast buffet is really good. Convenient to Victoria Station for ease of catching the tube around London. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby.

Tour was through Blue Fox and they did a great job. It's a long drive out to Mont Saint-Michel but they have a stop around 2 hours down the road. Expect crowds at the sight but still worth the visit.

This might be the coolest way to tour Paris.

Great food, wine, and view--there is no better way to see Paris from the Seine.

One of our favorite tours on the whole trip. We had 2 guides, 1 in training and a senior guide. Both were really good as they walked us through the streets of Saint Germain. The stops were coordinated and samples were made ready when we arrived. At one of their stops, they provided a small plate style lunch at L'Avant Comptoir du Marché which was really good. History, food, and views--a really cool experience.

We were provided tickets with a report time of 3:30pm to the Louvre. Because we know it's a busy museum, we thought about using the Carousel entrance to avoid the rain and really large crowds outside--good choice. As the largest museum in the world, spending just a few hours there will not scratch the surface so we focused on areas we didn't see on our last trip more than a decade ago. We saw what we could in the few hours we walked around but needed to leave when the group got hungry. I think we would have rather visited in the morning when they first open to enjoy the sights with "maybe" smaller crowds initially but also when we weren't tired already from a busy day of sightseeing. The tickets came with admission only, no guide or help inside unless we paid for something more.

A must see for any WWII history buffs or for anyone interested in seeing where history was changed. Tour was conducted by Blue Fox Tours and they did a great job from start to finish. Our guide did a great job providing context at each stop and allowed sufficient time to explore on our own. Lunch was at an amazing restaurant near Omaha Beach. The stop at the American cemetery was really special and helps provide a visual of the costs of D-Day.

A must see for anyone interested in the British royals. Was great to learn that Windsor Castle is surrounded by an actual town with lots of shops and restaurants to explore. The castle itself was good but expect crowds and bottlenecks as you navigate through. The tour was conducted by Anderson's Tour and the guide was amazing (Megan). She provided a lot of information on the bus ride out but was not allowed to walk through Windsor with us. She was great and even dropped us off and walked us to the Tower of London after for a separate tour (not through Anderson Tour).

Excellent hotel and place to stay in Strasbourg. The rooms were very nice and of good size. The location was right in the middle of everything, we could walk to everything we wanted to see.

Great location for us walkers, the only issue I had was the low ceilings, and the multiple stairs with locked doors. One of the lower ceilings really got me good. The room I was in had a low chandelier that I kept hitting also. (I am 6"5)

Small rooms, but great location....LOVE the rooftop bar.

The hotel accommodations were good. The staff was outstanding.

This was my favorite activity. The chef took us to the market where we purchased our fresh food to use while cooking. She was delightful and knowledgeable. Her home was the perfect space to prepare and eat. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would enjoy cooking in Paris.

Our tour guide Sonali Harshe was outstanding. I would recommend her for any tour.

Would have liked different food choices

Sonali Harshe was an excellent guide.

Our guide was very knowledgeable.

It was a beautiful trip on the river.

This little bed and breakfast is a gem. My room was sparkling clean and the bathroom was updated. The breakfast was good and had a typical selection. The owner of the hotel was as nice as she could be and was very helpful giving me directions and suggestions for my time in Marseille.

This hotel was perfect for our stay in Nice. It was close to the old city and the waterfront and had a great petit dejunier.

What a great family and cafe. The owner and his wife Helen were so friendly and helpful during my stay.

Nadia, our guide, was lovely. She was so knowledgeable and made sure that we sampled every food that we were interested in. She was very tuned in to our personal needs ( need a coffee, or bathroom break) and we never felt rushed or that we were getting a "canned" experience. It felt fresh and new, just for us.

Jordi our guide was calm and steady. He was very knowledgeable and comfortable in his guiding and made our experience wonderful. He always knew we could do it! This is a beautiful view and trip in nature for the day.

This was a very crowded cruise and all drinks must be paid for. From the description it made it sound like there was a free drink but there was no. That said, it is always nice to take a trip along the Seine and this was a small thing.

Fabulous hotel in beautiful neighborhood! Quick walk to Eiffel Tower. Many room options for families and great breakfat.

Beautiful hotel in a great neighborhood! Very spacious rooms for Europe!

Best experience ever! Perfect tour for anyone!

Amazingly engaging for children. Great to be able to skip line to the museum and get right in!

Beautifully and personally tailored excursion day!

Very easy to navigate into the tower and a great experience!
