Valentine did a great job in communicating with us in the mornings (as she is based in France). She picked beautiful boutique hotels with delicious breakfasts. We were very happy with her recommendations for tours and events to make our first visit to France incredibly memorable.

While in France, we felt like we were supported and in good hands if anything went awry (CDG strikes)

Lessons Learned:
- Pick half day excursions if you like to explore on your own. Full day tours are fantastic but although they don't last 12 hours it will fill up your day.

Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Lorette—Astotel
Paris

Clean rooms but shows its age. Floors are loud and shower is not setup for 2m tall Americans. Breakfast was delicious and front-desk service was incredibly helpful!

Hello Aaron,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback.
It is very important for us to read your comments, especially on the hotels. You are right, hotels in France are quite different than in the US, bedrooms can be smaller.
And I confirm that half-day tours can be a good choice if you like to be independant!
I wish you a Happy New Year 2023, and a lot of travels,
Valentine
