The agent we used listened to what we wanted to do and designed a great trip. The local guides were wonderful and always on time. The day trips were a great selection and hit the mark for what we wanted to see. The itinerary that KimKim sends is very detailed and included all the links and information that we needed. Great trip, we are definitely using KimKim again.

We spent most of the day in Arles because we had been to St Remy the previous day. Our very knowledgeable guide walked the town with us and discussed the history of the town and its association with Van Gogh.

Excellent day spent learn g about this city. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and spent the day teaching us the history and culture. We spent two hours on a tour of Lake Annecy that was highlighted by a fondue lunch on the water. There was a festival in town on the day we were there, so there was a lively and crowded atmosphere.
