Luxury France Tour Review, Monaco, Aix en Provence, Valence, Lyon, Chauvent Cave, Estate, Art, History & Beaujolais Wine Country

The trip was absolutely fabulous, from Monaco (3 nights) to Aix en Provence (3 nights) to Valence (2 nights) to Lyon (2 nights), then back to the U.S., with private tour guides and a tailored itinerary all along the way, inclusive of private transportation to each location.  This travel team made all of the local arrangements and it all went off without a single hitch.  The folks at this travel team were greatly conscientious, solicitous, sweet, highly professional and creative, both in the planning stages, and, perhaps most critically, in the on the ground implementation, as well.  They were in touch with us consistently throughout the trip to ensure that each day had gone as planned and to confirm the plans for the next day.  Whenever we had a question or concern along the way, we communicated via text and/or an App, and, wow, the travel team folks consistently responded immediately, even in the late evening.  All of the representatives we dealt with at this travel team, as well as all of their designated French tour guides, were expert and highly articulate in the English language, a godsend because our own Spanish and French, sadly, is lacking.  The local tour guides were friendly, highly knowledgeable, and quite good company.  In particular, the tour guides for the major segments of our trip were truly exceptional--our guide for all 4 days in Monaco (tours of Monaco, Nice, St. Paul de Vence, Eze and Grasse); our guide for the full day tour of the Ardeche Valley and the Chavet Caves; and our guide for the Beaujolais winery, region tour and the Lyon silk makers district.
