Audrey Benezech

A beautiful historic building. Probably the best meal I had in France was in their dining room. I was lucky to walk into a watercolor exhibit in the same building. Avignon was magical.

Wonderful and very informative super interesting. The private tour was so nice after having done a tour with 24 people.

It was a decent hotel and very well located close to town.

Staff was amazing and very helpful. Hotel located right in the middle of everything.

Thomas was a great host and prepared a nice 4 course meal. Had a great time with him. We were surprised just as he was that we never got the menu ahead of time.

Radames was a great tour guide, very personable and knew his stuff.

Florence was the absolute best guide.

Robin was a great and very thorough guide.

We were told it included a city tour and it never happened.

Great outdoor spaces. Bright interior and beautiful views of the sea. Nice to have an elevator with private access to the apartment.

We were 4 people in a lofted room, with the king bed up a narrow set of stairs and the bathroom and sofa-bed on the lower level. The sofa bed was not very comfortable so we ended up putting the mattress on the floor. The air conditioning was not working properly, despite several phone calls to the front desk and a hotel clerk coming to try to adjust it. We slept with windows open and it was still warm in the room for most of the night. Finally, the carpet was wet outside the bathroom door when we first arrived, which the clerk said was due to the shower overflowing (from the previous occupants?).

Spacious and a great location. Comfortable beds. Wonderful covered terrace for dining al fresco. The only thing to note is the 5 flights of spiral stairs that are required to access the apartment. It was not a problem for us (we definitely got our exercise in each day) but is something to note for those with mobility issues.

Fannie was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We enjoyed all the stops, especially the chocolates, jams and cheeses. Getting to pick our own dessert was also a treat.

End of June is the ideal time to visit the gardens. So many flowers blooming!

It was a long day with a lot packed in, but very fun to see all 3 castles. Each one was special and unique in its own right. The architecture and the gardens, along with the history of the region and each castle was interesting and enjoyable.

Huge place. The inside is impressive but the gardens need equal time to explore.

Amazing scenery and fun adventure! Romain was an excellent guide that showed us all around the region - from lavender fields and other agricultural areas to villages and beautiful architectural structures. He tailored the day to our interests, which was a fantastic way to explore. From coffee and pastries in one village to exploring the countryside to eating lunch while overlooking the beautiful valley, we loved every minute of it! This was our group's favorite thing we did in our 2 weeks in France.

We enjoyed walking around the village, eating and shopping.

The kayaking experience was definitely only for the super-adventurous. It was more of a kayaking lesson, complete with how to load/unload the kayaks from the trailer, carry the kayaks down a flight of stairs to the water, how to skirt yourself into the kayak and also proper paddling techniques. Our guide tried very hard to instruct us and encourage us to be calm in the choppy water. We did get to spend an hour or so on a beach area eating lunch and that was fun and relaxing, but by the time we were headed our onto the water again, it was even windier and so our guide agreed we should head back. Overall, it was a bit more work than what we 4 women had anticipated.

Interesting to learn the history of the catacombs

Fun to see where the ingredients come from. The group was a fun mix of people and we all learned a bit about cooking this special dish that originated in Marseille

Unfortunately it was a windy and cloudy day so the water was very rough getting out and especially coming back into the marina. We loved our guide, however, and we were confident in Marie’s abilities to safely get us around. She was great at telling us the history of the area and talking about the structures we were seeing. We got to snorkel while out in one of the calmer areas so that was a highlight.

Beautiful accommodations. Excellent restaurant. Great atmosphere.

The owners were fantastic, super friendly and helpful. Room was large with great views. Centrally located for easy walking to shopping and restaurants.

Vivienne was friendly, knowledgeable, gave great tips for navigating the city, places to visit, etc.

The hotel was in a great location near the Paris de Gard train station. The breakfast was also good. However, the rooms were incredibly small.

Valentina is a wonderful host! The three story home with the rooftop terrace is a truly gorgeous remodeled row home in the middle of Arles' old district. It's within walking distance of several butchers, markets, and boulangeries, and the weekly Wednesday market. Valentina came in on request twice while we were taking mini-trips around the south of France to clean up and refresh our towels/bedding.

This bed and breakfast is incredible! We had the upstairs room with the private terrace and Juliet balcony. The shower is modern, the bed is comfortable and I literally am trying to find the linen sheets on the bed to buy them for myself. The hosts were so kind and the breakfasts are HUGE - you won't need to buy lunch. 😅

Thomas, our tour guide, was a sommelier in a Michelin 3 star restaurant in Lyon. How could you have a more knowledgeable guide?? Learned a lot about French wine and he facilitated our buying and shipping some home.

Close to train station but very small rooms. It was clean and the breakfast we Ed had good.choices. Loved the croissants

The dinner cruise was first class. The foo, champagne and wine was excellent!!!

Laura was awesome!

So much history in the world’s largest museum where the Mona Lisa is held!

Very talented dancers. Really enjoyed the show

This property was on a quit side street, but the property was dated. Our rooms were poorly appointed and we were disappointed in the hotel overall. The carpet was very worn, rooms were very small, the breakfast was minimal in comparison to other properties. The location seemed far way from the other outtings planned for us.

This was a fun experience and different than other food tours we have experienced. Lare did a great job teaching and guiding us. She was a fun host.

A highlight of our trip. This was a fun and unique experience.

We had a great corner room on the street, clean hotel and friendly staff.

Our room was great facing the port. They also have a the most amazing breakfast!

Wow! A balcony room overlooking the French Riviera - yes please!!

We loved this hotel also overlooking the water and just around the corner from the port.

Great apartment in Vernazza. Not many places to choose from here so this is a find!

What a great place - good location right on the river and beautiful rooms!

Claire was a great tour guide and this was something fun to do when we first arrived to get to know the city and the local food.

Loved the wineries we went to and our driver was knowledgeable about wine too. Learned a lot about Burgundy which was cool.

What a treat! This boat ride to the Calanques was unexpectedly awesome. And we got to swim in the cave!

Our tour guide was great and villages were cute.

See below.

LOVED THIS! Saint Paul de Vence is really the best village. Everyone should try to eat at La Colombe D'or!

Would have liked to know more about what this trip entailed and spent more time in Motne-Carlo.

This was on our own - great beach city!

Brian our skipper was awesome! Totally recommend this!

This got cancelled.

We had already sampled the food that she introduced us to but it was fun to eat at local establishments.

Great to get a walking tour of Florence but this was our last day and it would have been nice to have more free time since this tour went for 5 hours, not 3 as expected. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but it was too long for our last day.
