Burgundy and the French Alps adventure:
Burgundy and the French Alps adventure: We had a wonderful experience in France, in large part because of the arrangements and care we received from French Touch Travel. We had an idea of what we wanted on our trip, but Tenley and Eva helped shape and refine our plans (clearly for the better). We had lots of private tours and experiences they arranged, all quite enjoyable. Our 8-hour Burgundy wine tasting and tour was unforgettable. My personal wish was cycling in the French Alps, on some of the Tour de France iconic climbs. I’m also weird, and like having a bike on hand to putter around on at all times. Eva arranged both the perpetual bike and a once-in-a-lifetime epic bike ride up the Col du Colombierre. My wife has big-time motion sickness, with the potential for adversely affecting vacations. Eva and Tenley took care to plan the trip with this factor addressed. They arranged trains and private transfer cars with this in mind. The routes were well selected, and all the drivers were acutely aware of her condition and drove appropriately. The unfortunate icing on the cake was my wife’s fairly violent food poisoning, which started 7 hours before we were supposed to depart for the airport. What’s more, it was on a weekend with a skeleton crew at French Touch on call for emergencies. I felt a bit overwhelmed, but Sophie stepped up and shepherded us through re-booking our travel. I felt guilty for waking her early to do this, but she made me feel not the least bit of a nuisance. In sum, I’ll definitely use French Touch Travel for my next European adventure. Thanks to all of them. Rick Wupperman
