Paris: The tour guide of the Gourmet trip, Sarbine Leung was affable, resourceful and professional. The fact that she was from Hong Kong was a pleasant surprise to us. We enjoyed Paris, it is full of heritage and we will go there again in the future. Next time, we would love to explore the local little shops. For the river cruise dinner, we think the atmosphere was good, the food was fair but the service (the waiters) are not polite enough.
Amboise: The tour guide Sophie was very pleasant and took good care of everyone. We love the tranquility and the peaceful ambience of Amboise. We particularly love the cottage style hotel in Amboise. The breakfast lady of the hotel made very good fried eggs which us felt at home. The restaurant recommendation was also very good.
Bordeaux: We love Bordeaux a lot, its vibrancy and sunshine (though a little drizzle) made us very joyful. The city tour guide Jessica was very friendly, resourceful and professional. She taught us a lot of Bordeaux history which was very interesting. Another tour guide, Radouane who took us to the oyster farm was also very good. We enjoyed the spectacular view and experience of La Dune du Pilat a lot, we will definitely come with other family members and friends in the future. The trip was followed by a nice seafood lunch in La Co(o)rniche which made our day.
In general, we are 90% satisfied with the arrangement of Mathilde, if we are to name some areas for improvements, it would be better if you can work with the service providers to assign the tour guide/ contact to us a night before so that we can connect with him/her via Whatsapp earlier.
Thanks again, Mathilde (KimKim). We plan to go to Italy in 2025 (probably Easter). Hope that you can help us with the planning and arrangement. This time, we hope that we can pull in one to two pairs of couples to join us so as to make the trip more joyful.
Cheers,
First-of-May

Half-Day Tour to La Vallée Village from Paris

Most of the shops didn't offer good discounts and the items were still very expensive, however we managed to find a brand which offered nice and reasonable priced suits. We enjoyed a good meal in one of the steak houses in La Vallee Village
