Lise did an awesome job making our trip special. I gave her a budget and she made it happen. Every detail went as planned and we could not be more satisfied with the services provided.

In Paris we toured the Eiffel Tower, private Louvre tour, took a private medieval Paris tour and a private food tour. We also had a Seine river dinner. Delicious!! Each guide was punctual and personable. It was like we had an old friend that knew the area! So nice.

We took the train from Paris to Nice which was very relaxing. It gave us a chance to see the countryside and enjoy not having to drive.

In Nice we toured Monaco, Antibes, Eze, Cannes and a perfumerie factory. All of these were worth the money and again our guides made it personable and exciting.

Overall we would visit France again and would book with Lise. She communicated well and was available to help when our plans had to cancel or change. Two thumbs up!!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Brighton
Paris

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Brighton. The location was outstanding being so close to the Louvre, Eiffel Tower and shopping. The staff of the hotel were so helpful and accommodating. Specifically, Mitcham was so polite and helpful. He really made us feel at home during our stay. We had a king size bed with a balcony on the 3rd floor overlooking the gardens with the Eiffel Tower in view. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean with 2 sinks and the shower had hot water and good water pressure. They had soft bath and hand towels. The room was spacious enough to have breakfast, which we did every morning, in the room. The included breakfast was delicious. Order one of everything on the breakfast menu as it all so good!!! We would absolutely stay at Hotel Brighton again. Lise did us a wonderful favor booking this hotel.

Hotel Le Negresco
Nice

Wow wow wow!! From the first time we stepped up the steps into the hotel till the morning we left, our time at Hotel Le Negresco was unbelievable! They have done an amazing job decorating this hotel with many art pieces. The decor is matched by the amazing service. My wife and I have travelled the world and this hotel was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Luxury is an understatement . We would absolutely stay here again. We booked a dinner at Chantecler restaurant which is onsite of the hotel. They are a Michelin Star restaurant and this was our favorite meal of the entire trip to France. That is saying something as all the food in France is good. It was an expensive splurge but absolutely worth it. You will not be disappointed. Great job Lise booking us at I believe one of the finest hotels in France.

Nothing like champagne and caviar at the top of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Wasn’t too busy and the views are unrivaled.

Phillip was an awesome guide. We were able to skip through the long line and go straight into the Louvre. He was very knowledgeable about the art and knew his way around the museum. It was like we had an old friend showing us around.

This was a fun tour. Driving on the Monaco Grand Prix track was pretty cool. We had time to shop at each of the locations. Walking the narrow streets of the old towns was definitely an experience. We were also able to visit a perfume factory which was a nice part of the tour.
