France

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Stunning in every regard! Our trip went without a hitch, save for me being injured in a fall and even then, the travel company came through to assist me. We were confident at every step of the way through France on this totally curated trip. The choices that were made for us (with our input, of course) were PERFECT. Our transfers went smoothly and there were no surprises at any time; except, of course, on Sunday morning in Beaujolais when our guide actually walked up to us in the churchyard on our wine tour to introduce himself. Talk about personalized customer service!! Delightful to work with, our guide had great humor and intuition. Once my minor injury happened, he even called ahead to alert our further accomodations and vendors so there would be no confusion when I walked up with two black eyes!
I highly recommend Zicasso Travel and this travel company for traveling in France. Hmmmmm, now I want to have our guide, himself, help us with Italy, but, of course, returning to France is always on my radar so I am certain I will see our guide again. You simply cannot beat this travel company for planning your trip and monitoring you all the time you are there. As a single Mom traveling with grown children, it was very reassuring. The Dordogne is next!

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

Sadly, visiting the D Day beaches in the days before the 75th anniversary, when Normandy was festooned with banners and flags for the commemoration, was very moving and I was reassured that I did the right thing to take the kids there.
Every single minute everywhere else was astounding. The arranged accomodations were perfect for us. The activities were super - segwaying through Bayeux was a total hoot - and no, that was not where I was injured!! Avignon visit got curtailed when I tripped and face planted into the stone steps of the Pope's church; the injury was minor, but I had some REAL shiners for 8 weeks after that. All in all, even the good, bad and ugly was memorable.
We totally enjoyed our trip!

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

No, no changes, I plan to use Zicasso from now on for my family vacation. I am hoping to start a tradition of going somewhere in the world each May. Having it all planned out saves family rancor which can flare on extended close quarters with grown children!
