Sebastian was excellent at planning our trip. He was very responsive to our unusual needs and accommodated our priorities flexibly. Everything went smoothly.

We landed at Charles de Gaulle in Paris. A driver was waiting for us and took us to the train station. Our tickets were ready and waiting online. The car rental agency was across the street in Caen. From there we drove to the hotel in Bayeux. It was well maintained and centrally located with pleasant staff.

The day long private guide of the D-Day sites in Normandy was excellent. We then had a couple of free days to explore on our own. Then we drove back to Paris and turned in the car. That was a harrowing experience around the Gare St. Lazar. From there we spent foJonathan was excellent at planning our trip.

Then we drove back to Paris and turned in the car. That was a harrowing experience around the Gare St. Lazar. From there we spent four days on our own visiting our favorite sites, using the Metro for transportation.

Our driver was ready and waiting well in advance to take us back to Charles de Gaulle in time for our flight. Overall Kimkim did a perfect job!

Our trip to Paris and Bayeux was exceptional. From the very second of the planning process, Liz listened to our desires and did a fantastic job creating an itinerary that was full of culture and history.

The KimKim team was exceptional in answering all of our questions while we were traveling. It definitely provided a sense of security and comfort knowing that we weren’t alone and were being taken care of in a foreign country where we didn’t speak the language.

All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable and kept our interest peeked throughout the tours, and the private tours were worth every cent. My son and I loved getting to know our guides, and building relationships with them!

We will most definitely use KimKim on our European travels in the future!

It was okay for the 10 hours that we were there, but it was very small and cramped overall. The beds were so small you couldn’t move or you’d fall off of them. The shower door didn’t go to the floor, so there was water was all over the bathroom floor.

The overall experience was fun, but be prepared to eat like a Parisian! As picky eaters, weren’t prepared for the food.

Being able to see where my grandfather was on D Day and hear the stories of what he experienced on that horrific day was extremely emotional. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very informative.

Private French Revolution Walking Tour For All Ages

Paris

This was the least favorite thing that we did. The tour guide didn’t go in chronological order, and it was very difficult to follow. More of a lecture format, so it was a bit boring.

American Airborne Divisions War History Day Trip

Bayeux

Great day with such amazing stories of individual heroism. We had a very small group, so we split up the morning by taking a break at a local cafe (pic below). The guide spoke with the owner who had WW2 artifacts in the back of her shop, and she allowed us to go visit. It was such an intimate and impactful bonus to our day.

Overall, the trip was wonderful. We fully enjoyed our excursion to Arcachon from Bordeaux and the wine region as well. The days spend in the Loire Vally were amazing, we could not have asked for more. The time spent in Paris was also exactly what we were looking for. We did have some issues with being taken to the wrong train station by an arranged driver for a day trip to Normandy. Although, Audrey was able to help us regroup and got us there the next day for an abbreviated trip, It took additional arranging on our part also. The next time we would like a few more specific details about where to find drivers so we don't spend time looking and miss. The only other thing we would have liked is to have dinner reservations made for us , instead of spending time figuring that out. We did not make them in advance so we were relying on hotel conceirge and found some to be booked.

Fantastic planning assistance from Audrey. She helped put together a custom itinerary that was exactly what we wanted and none of what we didn't want. She patiently worked with us as we explored different options for different days even when we changed our minds, made recommendations when asked, carefully planned out logistics and timing, and then executed all of our bookings. Polite, professional and friendly. Only constructive feedback I'd say is for days where our itinerary is known to start before a hotel serves breakfast, to not include breakfast with the hotel booking on those days.
