We could not have been more fortunate then to have Sebastian as our travel specialist.
He composed a perfect schedule for our trip to France.
At each location we had comfortable accommodation in the center of the action. Easy access to all the popular sites.
At each city we had at least one tour led by knowledgeable and personable tour guides.
Not only sharing their insights and facts of a particular area but also their own personal stories of their connection to that area.
We also had a good amount of time on our own to “get lost” in each city. Some thing I really enjoy, especially when we have GPS to guide us and Goggle Translator to help when we needed.
Paris. Nice, Marseille, and Bordeaux were wonderful but the biggest surprise was the small, quaint city of Amboise.
Train travel was easy to navigate and gave us time to relax and see the changing countryside.
Again, had a great vacation and thank Sebastian for making all this possible.

Hotel Review
L'Hôtel Particulier
Bordeaux

Supprisingly nice hotel that at one time must have been a grand chateau. The rooms were odd but added to the character of the place. Right in the middle of center city Bordeaux. Pleasant staff. Good breakfast. Tons of restaurants and bars filled with people that enjoyed the area as much as we did.

Marseille

I loved Marseille I loved the action around the Harbor area and especially the wonderful seafood restaurants. Our tour guide was terrific. Made us feel at home and comfortable with the city. Shared not only the facts of the area but also his personal experiences in Marseille

Hi Neil,

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your trip and that the itinerary suited your style of travel. It was a pleasure helping you explore France, and I’m especially glad to hear Amboise was such a pleasant surprise for you—that’s the magic of those hidden gems!

It sounds like you found the perfect balance between guided experiences and independent exploration, which is exactly what I hoped for. If you ever decide to explore more of France (or anywhere else), I’d be delighted to assist again.

Wishing you many more adventures ahead!

Best regards,
