Our family of four (kids aged 14 and 12) had a great time on our trip to France, which Kimkim planned. We enjoyed each activity they had planned for us. We had multiple private tours scheduled, and each guide was exceptional. All respected all of our wants and needs to the utmost degree. All of the transfers worked very smoothly as well. The travel specialists listened to all of our requests and delivered.
Only two minor gripes, which downgrade my review to 4 stars instead of 5. The travel specialists changed multiple times during the planning, and it would have been nice to have this be more consistent, as I feel the trip could have been a little more personalized if rapport had been built with one specialist. The other small detail was that our trip documents were not released to us until very close to the trip, so some of the details were unknown until that time, which led to a small amount of anxiety.
That being said, neither of these things impacted how we enjoyed the logistics and events that were laid out for us. We did have a fantastic trip!

Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Le Tourville Paris
Paris

Our family of four stayed in the family suite (1 king and two twin beds) on the top (sixth) floor for five nights. We truly enjoyed our stay. The suite fit us very well. As expected in Paris, it was a little small, but we made do. The closet and bathroom were nice and large. This is a boutique hotel, and as such, it does not offer some of the amenities that larger hotels typically provide, such as a pool or spa. That being said, the staff were charming and helpful, and the breakfast options were plentiful.

Our family left the Le Peloton Cafe in Le Marais for a private tour. Cedric was our guide, and he provided us with very informative insights. We covered a fair territory on the bike for a total of 5-6 miles.

Bonjour Alex,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time in France and that you enjoyed the activities, private tours, and smooth logistics. It's great to know that the guides made a strong impression and that the trip met your expectations overall.

We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the changes in travel specialists and the timing of the final documents. It is our process to have the same travel agent though out the planning of each trip, but we had some chnages in our end / earlier this year and this is the reason of these changes !

Most importantly, we're so glad these aspects didn’t take away from the enjoyment of your trip. It was a pleasure to help plan your family’s journey, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Warm regards,
Justine
