England & France Family Vacation Review: London, Paris, Normandy, Theatre, 2-Week Trip

We visited England and France in June-July 2023

We planned to take this trip in 2020 and had started booking it with this travel company, but it was upended by the pandemic.  We reached out to the travel agency again in 2022 to pick up where we left off and the whole experience was excellent.  Sophie provided an extensive list of things that we could do within our time in Europe.  Once we selected everything we were interested in, she was able to put together a great itinerary with excellent hotels and superb guides to meet our needs.  We had two boys (18 and 15), and three adults.  Sophie helped us find a great mix of activities to keep everyone interested.

Since the itinerary was custom, we could add guides where we wanted, which let us get the most out of our time at several sites.  We were also able to book transportation as well as dinner reservations throughout the trip.

This trip was the biggest (and most expensive) vacation we have scheduled. In an age of scams and online fraud, I was very nervous about their standard payment method being a bank wire.  I understand they are looking to avoid credit card fees, which would be significant.  My worries were unfounded – everything was exactly as promised and Sophie was available throughout our trip to ensure everything went off without a hitch, including a sick tour guide that had to be rescheduled within the hour.
