Outstanding service from Kimkim for European tour!

France | May 11 - May 21, 2025

This hotel was lovely and overlooking the Riviera next to the famous Hotel Negresco. It was in a great location near restaurants and shopping. The hotel is beautiful with a red carpet leading from the outside in. Our staff was friendly and helpful and greeted us at our car to help take our bags to our room and recommended a wonderful place to eat as we were hungry when we arrived. Our room was beautiful with a convenient bathroom and nice tub/shower, however, the tub was very high to step in to and my husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago. He had a bit of trouble stepping into the tub but we managed ok. We did not ask about changing rooms. The hair dryer was a bit different and got very hot as I was drying my hair due to the way it was made so that was a bit inconvenient. Also, we noticed several times when we were in the lobby that there were times that there was no bellhop to help people with luggage as they were getting out of the car and they were lugging it up the stairs themselves.

This hotel was adorable and in a great location near a convenient metro stop. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful and spoke English. The buffet breakfast was amazing with most anything we wanted! The hotel was very clean and within walking distance to the Grand Boulevards metro stop as well as several good restaurants. My only complaint was that our standard room was a bit small and difficult to organize with our luggage. The shower stall in the bathroom was almost too small for my husband who is 5'10" to comfortably shower and wash his hair. And I found the hair dryer very inconvenient as a button had to constantly be pressed for it to work.

This hotel was adorable and couldn't be any more central in the heart of Avignon. It is basically near anything you want to see! The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke English with us. Our room was small but fine for the two of us and the bathroom was convenient. The only issue we had was that there were two steps leading down to the bedroom as you walk through the door. My husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago and found it a bit difficult to navigate those steps. The staff immediately responded and said they would change our room, if needed. We decided that since our stay was short we would stay in the room we were in but appreciated their immediate response to our concern. The buffet breakfast was amazing!! Would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was absolutely beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location! The staff was friendly and spoke English and gave us recommendations for dining along with a helpful map. Our room was beautiful with a large bathroom and huge shower. It was within walking distance of the Old City which is where we spent most of our time. We would definitely book here again!

This was a perfect tour for my husband and I on our trip to Paris. We only had 3 days in Paris before moving on to another place in France so we needed something that was fairly brief but gave us a good overview of some of the best things to see in the Louvre. Our guide was Anaïs and she was perfect! My husband has some physical limitations due to an accident a few years ago and she was most attentive to his needs while directing our small group of 8 to some favorite sights. Would definitely recommend and do this one again!

Something got mixed up with our tour so we were expecting something else so this was a bit less than what we expected but still enjoyable. We tasted three Parisian wines and two cheeses with one other couple which we enjoyed. This was held in a wine shop so our host was also the owner and had to stop to wait on customers during our experience. However, we took this time to get to know the other couple we met and enjoy the wine and cheese. If you are looking for a serious wine and cheese tasting experience this may not be your ticket, however, if you want to relax and enjoy good wine and cheese with other tourists, this one was nice.

This experience was ok but we would rather have had dinner at one of the wonderful Leon restaurants in town. The food was only ok and the wait staff seemed inexperienced. We had a difficult time even finding the boat as there was nothing really to show where we were supposed to meet. The greeting on board was lukewarm and the narration throughout the boat ride was muffled and hard to hear. I would unfortunately not recommend this tour.

This experience was truly amazing! From the time we stepped on board, we were taken care of. We were handed champagne, dinner orders were taken, and wine was poured. The wait staff was obviously experienced and checked on us frequently to make sure our experience was going well. The singer on board was wonderful and really added to the ambiance and the food was excellent! We loved it start to finish!

This was a truly disappointing experience. The description we were given said we would have a guide that would take us around Monaco to see the sights, including the Prince's Palace and the casino. We basically had a driver that dropped us off in Monaco and told us he would pick us up in 1 1/2 hours. We had no idea where to go or what to do and didn't have time to get on a tour bus. We went to the casino, saw a small harbor and walked back to the van. Very disappointing as this was something we were really looking forward to. I don't even know what La Turbie is because we didn't actually go there. We went to a perfume factory and had a very quick tour then the driver took us to Èze, dropped us off, and said he would pick us up in 40 minutes. We barely had time to walk up the hill and back down. Not sure what happened here but it was definitely a waste of time and left us very disappointed.

This activity was a favorite of our 12 day tour of France! Our guide, Shirine, was excellent and took great care of our 10 person group. The stops we made throughout the tour were perfect. The meats and wine, followed by the cheese and wine, amazing! Shirine told us a lot of history of Leon throughout the tour. Three hours passed by very quickly! I would definitely recommend this tour!

My husband and I were on a 12 day tour of France with Avignon being one of the cities we visited. This chateau was about 30 minutes away by taxi. It was one of the best and most memorable activities of our trip! We went in mid-May which was before wedding and high tourist season started so the chateau and gardens were open to us. Normally, they are closed off if someone has the chateau booked for a wedding event so I would recommend going during low-tourist times. Our guide took us all around the gardens, olive groves and vineyards and gave us some history. She was wonderful! We then went into the chateau for our wine and olive oil tastings. This was a beautiful experience! We decided to stay for lunch which was outside under a magnificent, old tree and the food was excellent, definitely worth the splurge! I would recommend this tour for sure and would do it again!
