Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Overall, it was a great trip. I only gave it four stars because I was comparing it to our trip to Germany through your recommended Company. The private guides were all great and we saw and did exactly what we wanted in Bayeux, Amboise and Paris. It would have been nice to have a list of good options for the Provence piece. The accommodations in Provence were nice, but isolated and we found ourselves driving over an hour one way to see what we wanted to see in the area and it might have been better to stay in Avignon, or much closer to it anyway. The hotel in Nice did not meet our expectations. The front desk clerk at check in was rude. There were stains on the bedroom walls in the bedroom (really don't want to even think about what they might have been) and mold in the shower. The location was great though. The boat trip in Nice was good as well.
One note of uncertainty, the car rental was supposed to be for a Peugot 308 or similar and they gave us a 2008, not really sure if that is similar or not, but it was very tight. The car rental office at the train station in Aix was rude and very slow.

Travel Company Comments

Dear Mike,

First of all, we hope that you had a safe flight back home with a lot of memories in your mind!

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip in France overall.

Regarding the accommodation in Provence, it is located in Saint-Cannat, which is about half an hour driving from Aix en Provence city. As mentioned in the quotation, it is "A restored 18th century farmhouse in the heart of Provence" with excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. Despite the fact that it is a bit far from the city, we hope you enjoyed this unique experience in this authentic place.

Regarding the Hotel in Nice, we are sorry that this accommodation did not meet your expectations.
This Hotel has an excellent location in Nice (right in front of the Beach) and excellent reviews on TripAdvisor.

Regarding the rental car, it is mentioned in the quotation "Category G - automatic Peugeot 308 or similar". Unfortunately it is not possible for us to know which car you will get before the day of your arrival. However the Peugeot 2008 is the same category than the Peugeot 308 with more options. This kind of car is considered a big size car in France. We are sorry to hear that it was a bit tight for you. For your next trip, I would recommend you to make a request to get a bigger car when they book a car rental.

Once again, thank you vey much for giving us your feedback, we really apologize for these inconveniences and we really hope that you still had a great time in France!
