Wonderful Trip to France
France

Sep 12 - Sep 21, 2023
Our trip to France was wonderful. Our kimkim specialist Nathalie spent the time to understand our interests provided a great itinerary that met or exceeded our travel wishes. The only problem we encountered was with our first hotel. The room was dirty and had a smell. We requested another room which was slightly better, but still not adequate. We contacted Nathalie and she found us another, much better, hotel that we took the following night. The other hotels throughout the trip were very nice. The car transfers throughout the trip were punctual and comfortable. The tours and tour guides were especially good. We even emailed each of the tour companies in Bayeux, Saint Málo and Paris with positive feedback about the knowledge and passion of their tour guides.
The hotel problem at the beginning had the potential of spoiling the rest of the trip. But Nathalie’s quick response to find another hotel and her willingness to work to get a refund eased our minds and allowed us to enjoy our time in France.
Hotel Reviews
The first room we got was dirty, there was mold in the bathroom and had a smell. They gave us a new room, which had teh same issues as the first room. We moved to a new hotel.
Hotel is located within the walled city. It is very close to attractions, restaurants and shops. Our room was clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked the street. We kept the windows open so it was noisy at night. However, with the windows shut and AC on, noise is not a problem. Breakfast is good, plenty of choices. Staff was friendly.
A quiet, comfortable room with a friendly staff in the heart of Paris. Room was a little small, but not a problem for us. We would recommend it.
Activity Reviews
Skipped it. Too many people.
Beautiful stop on our way from Paris to Normandy. Two hours was enough for us to experience the beautiful gardens and home of Claude Monet.
Having a tour guide to see the landing sights should really be considered required. We learned so much and saw many sights that I am sure we would have missed had we done the tour on our own. Our tour guide, Victor, was friendly and knowledgeable. The travel was comfortable.
We are glad we had a tour guide for this experience as opposed to just going there on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Abbey (including when the best time to eat was in order to avoid crowds).
Marc the tour guide was wonderful. Since he is from Brittany he knows the area well. The Emerault Coast is spectacular! Cancale is a beautiful city and a must see if you are in to oysters. Had a wonderful time!
This was one of the favorite tours of our visit to France. Once again, Marc knows the area very well and did an excellent job of explaining the history of the area as well as explaining about French culture today.
This would be a must-do tour in Paris. We had a great time with Matthias touring the neighborhood of Saint Germain and sampling the charcuterie, baguettes, cheeses and especially the chocolates, wine, choux a la creme and the patisserie! A very memorable tour!
Dear Bill,
Thank you for sharing this review ! In spite of this " Le Bayeux" issue, you went back with an unforgettable memory of your trip in France and that is exactly what we want !
Hope to see you again on Kim Kim and be your travel advisor again !
