Justine was an amazing resource for our family of 4 first international trip to France. She thoughtfully planned a trip catered to our wants and wishes, not just a packaged itinerary. Overall our days were seamless and well thought out. Activities, sight seeing, food, culture and relaxation…she helped us balance them all! I would suggest Kim Kim to others and plan to use them again myself in the future.

Royal Garden Champs Elysées Paris
Paris

Great home base in Paris. Central location for walking to many sights as well as great food nearby. Excellent petit dejuener on site too. Family apartment provided all the amenities to make it a home away from home; fridge, microwave, tea kettle, coffee, daily water, balcony, and dining table.

La Bastide de Moustiers
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

There are no words, and certainly 5 stars is not even enough. I could have spent my entire vacation here. Spanish, provential, mountain retreat. We spent just a few days exploring the nearby Verdon Gorge. Despite all its natural beauty the kids would still ask if we could just go back to our amazing hotel room! Space for everyone and beautiful private serene grounds to recharge and relax in.

The cruise is nice, but we preferred many of our guided toured over this. Gives a good overview of the lay of parts of Paris. Line proved much shorter near lunch hour than the popular evening cruise with very long lines.

Eze is AMAZING! True Provençal French town. So many great views, wonderful shops and casual dining. 2 hours is not nearly enough!! Needed more time here and less at the oceanographic museum.

My husband and 15 year old loved this tour. I am claustrophobic and would not have done well (they confirmed that!). FYI

Top favorite activity for both our kids ages 8 and 15. They had climbed very few times, my husband and I never before. But it was catered amazingly well for everyone’s level of climbing. Great day, great view, GREAT guide Christine! Views of gorge are beautiful. Started out very cool in am (jacket!) but warms up when sun is on you climbing. Layers necessary.
