France Vacation Review: Paris, Amboise, Loire Valley, Louvre Museum Private Tour

We had a great time, with no real problems. The guides and travel booked by our Zicasso travel partner were all great.

However, we did a dinner cruise which was terrible. It was maybe not our travel agent's fault, but we were relying on them to book good vendors. We had the lowest-cost seats in the middle of the boat. It would have been nice if they had contacted us and said something like, "Hey for an extra $100 you can sit by the window. Are you interested?".

It was the same with our second hotel. The hotel was fine, but there were rooms with courtyard views and rooms with balcony street views. We got the courtyard. Again, it would have been nice to be asked if we wanted to spend more for the balcony. Little touches like that would have made a difference. I think people booking with an agent aren't against spending money, we just want to know what we are spending money on.

We would use them again, we just feel they have some room for improvement.
