Trip included Paris Marseilles Nice and Monaco
I enjoyed the trip. I can’t remember the names of the guides but they were all very knowledgeable for the walking tours. A memorable trip for my first visit to France. I especially enjoyed the custom perfume making.

A better more specific description for the Frenc fashion I was anticipating sometime of Actual fashion show or demonstration on how to wear certain items like accessories and design schools or methods. The walking tour did not include much fashion which is one of my interest since I lived to elsewhere and create Designs.

Quality of Experience
More variation types of shops in addition to the fragrance and soaps.

Maybe the description luxurious sets the tone of much more lavish setting and food presentation The meal was good but I had higher expectations because of the term luxurious

Beautiful scenery of surroundings of the water Was expecting a calmer ride and I thought we were going to get off the boat without getting into water and thought was a landing to walk on after off the boat. I thought was going to be on a larger boat rather than a mother boat with know covering for a senior was a little choppy ride that distracted from enjoying the ride.
