France By Locals

Perfect day trip with a wonderful guide named Jeremy who was very knowledgable and flexible with good sense of humor. It was extremely hot but the van was still comfortable and the different stops were just long enough to tolerate the heat outside and feel we had enough time to explore.

Should not offer 3 people in single room. Not enough room

Stoyan did a great job with his 1970 Mercedes trip through the city.

The welcome and personal service was like visiting old friends. Charlotte made the best cake and breakfast. Very welcoming and comfy B&B. Perfect location if you want to be in town within walking distance to shops transport and restaurants.

Great service, friendly and helpful staff. The food is excellent. Modern and stylish hotel with ambience. Our room was small but very comfortable with a king sized bed and well organized.

The 'Unusual Day in Champagne' tour was my favorite activity. We were picked up from our B&B in a little Renault van by a local guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly, making me feel like I was out with a friend. We visited two very different wineries, enjoyed a well-done picnic outside one of them, and experienced a smaller, more intimate champagne house. The guide's deep knowledge and willingness to answer all our questions made the day really special and memorable.

JR listened to us and gave us a very personal eclectic tour as we had been to Paris a few times and wanted to see some different places.

Charming hotel in the lively and interesting area of Montmartre. Our room was small but clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff was super helpful and nice. And, the breakfast was an amazing with a delicious selection of patisserie and hot and cold items. There isn't a lot of closet/hook space for three people, but we were fine and the staff and service made up for it. The plus is that it's in a very cool area with numerous cafes and tiny shops. The minus is that it's a bit far from the center of the city with most of the museums and attractions. We enjoyed our stay.

So beautiful and we had a great room with a private patio and hot tub and kitchenette. Wish we could have stayed more than one night!

Fabulous. Wish we could have stayed for the entire tour, but we had to leave after lunch to catch our train back to Paris. Our guide Alexane was phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable, funny, and had all sorts of stories and history. She really engaged our granddaughter as well as the adults. The Chateaus and gardens were amazing. We really enjoyed our special lunch at Villesavin Castle. Highly recommend this experience. Thanks to Sebastian, we were able to get through at least 2/3 of it and he arranged a private driver to take us to the hotel and the train that made it possible.

Great - covers all the bases. Sebastian arranged timed entry for those we wanted that require it.

Long trip in and out of town, but worth seeing. Our driver, Gabriel, was a charming young man, but unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to guide us inside the grounds as he had planned. He didn't have the proper credentials. The Palace was quite full of visitors. The audio guide was a bit perplexing to use, but we got the hang of it. I wish we'd spent less time in the Palace, especially the first floor, and more time in the gardens which are amazing!

Again, this was one of our favorite activities. Our guide, Livia, was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. She was great in interacting with our granddaughter. She gave us so much interesting history about the area and the history of the Jews in France. We had a wonderful visit to the Holocaust Museum and the memorials in the area. She also recommended several places to eat that we enjoyed on a later visit, especially La Du Felafel. Highly recommended.

This was one of our favorite activities enjoyed by all of us. The chef, Matthieu, was energetic, engaging and a great teacher. And we ended up with bags of delicious pastries after the class. Highly recommended.

Very fun. Our driver, Niko, took us not just in Montmartre, but he took us by other things that we had not yet seen like the Moulin Rouge, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Pantheon. He also stopped the car and took a sweet photo of us popped up through the top of the car with the Eiffel Tower in the background. We thought that the "tour" would have a set agenda, but he wanted us to tell him what we wanted to see and we weren't quite prepared for that. He ended in Saint-Germain-des-Prés at a restaurant that he recommended and we had dinner there, but we had to find our way by taxi back to the hotel afterward. It was fun buzzing around and taking photos through the top of the car.

Of course we love the collection here, but once we entered, they said that our tickets did NOT include an audio guide. However, it was still lovely to see the Monet water lilies and there was a super exhibit of Rousseau and other artists on the lower level.

Great way to start our trip - relaxing

We were delighted with our hotel here. It's right at the end of the promontory, perched on the cliff top with a misty view of Sardinia in the distance and superb views of the sea and cliffs. The restaurant was very good and the staff were extremely helpful when we needed to find a local clinic. We would happily stay here again and again!

This hotel is luxurious and expensive-looking but wasn't entirely to our taste. Our room was in a stone cluster a long walk from the reception and restaurant, which was ok, but we were surprised that the room itself was so small and cramped considering all the space around the property. The restaurant was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We would have been happy to stay here longer. Beautiful setting with delightful grounds and views and our room was veyr comfortable.

N/a. We didn't do this tour.

Terrific boutique hotel. Just what we expected.

We did not do this activity. Too difficult to operate e-bikes.

Started out with tour operator not showing our reservation. Reservation made in name of tour coordinator with no reference to our names. Should have been an indicator. Very windy and boat rocky. Could not get to areas we were supposed to go. Should have been canceled.

Fantastic! Highlight of the trip.

Uzès was incredibly beautiful. Loved it. Monte Carlo was terrific. Enjoyed a James Bond martini and saw the racetrack.

Kim Kim agent did not put reservations in our name so we did not enjoy experience on day scheduled. We did work it out with restaurant and had an amazing meal.
