Paris and Alsace region
France

May 19 - May 29, 2025
Sebastian was easy to work with and prompt to respond to questions and requests. He set up a good Paris and Alsace region itinerary for us.
While we thoroughly enjoyed Paris- we did not like the Paris hotel at all. Although the staff at the hotel were kind, the amenities, location, bed, pillows and breakfast were not to our standards. The promise of a one day turn around laundry service according to the laundry brochure in our room ended up not being true. A lot of noisy people congregated most nights in the ally outside our room. I would dare to say this is even a 3 star hotel.
The hotel in Strasbourg was great. The staff went above and beyond in accommodating us. The Alsace villages tour was good and the pastry cooking class was top notch. The only feedback I would give regarding Strasbourg is that 4 nights is one too many.
Overall, I would give the entire trip 4/5 stars, but working with Sebastian was 5/5.
Activity Reviews
Our tour guide, Roxane was great. She took us to some small Alscaian villages and told us a lot about the history of these villages. A highlight of the tour was going to the St. Odiel convent. The views were amazing.
Great wines. Guide was knowledgeable.
PM tour felt rushed. I did agree to the PM tour. I would also just take the train next time. It took us 1.5 hours to go 14 miles in Paris traffic.
This was an unexpected highlight of our time in Strasbourg. Dominique was amazing. She was welcoming and had everything well prepared. She kept apologizing for her English, but there was no need as we were able to communicate with her very well. We don’t do much baking, but she was a great teacher. Getting to spend some time with her in her home really made us feel like we’d had an authentic Alsatian experience, and the rhubarb tarts we made were delicious! This was a 10/10 experience!
