France

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Because I had never been to France before, Sophie's suggestions for tours and excursions were excellent. It was a good balance of a set schedule and then time on our own. Sophie took the time to find out what our interests are and gave suggestions, that we fine tuned together with her. When we had drivers, they were very punctual, helpful and professional. All the tour guides were both very knowledgable and entertaining. The hotels were very clean and comfortable with first rate service as well. In our week in Paris and surrounding area, we feel we got a wonderful experience.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

That's such a hard question to answer! I thought the dinner cruise on the Seine River was very special. What a relaxing way to see some of the monuments, especially the Eiffel Tower from that angle and time of evening.
For my husband, first, the Palace of Versailles was his favorite because of the surprising extent of the gardens beyond what one could see at first. Secondly, the Tapestry of Bayeaux was an unexpected hidden gem.
The E-bike tour went surprisingly well despite the busy city streets. We were diverted to side streets when possible and learned about less known sites, which complemented our famous site visits.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would probably suggest maybe doing a double decker bus tour the first day, to get an overall view of the city.
As a visual person, the map of locations would make more sense in my head, as we navigated ourselves around during free times.
I would also try to change hotels as little as possible, since repacking every couple days was inconvenient.
For this trip it was unavoidable, but going to Normandy the last 2 days of the week would have worked better.
Sophie was so patient and helpful with the scheduling hiccups and it all worked out great.
