A Wonderful European Adventure!
Thank you to Olivia at "French Touch Travel" for orchestrating such a wonderful trip for my family and I to London and Paris. This was our first time traveling to Europe and it was a great adventure! Olivia was very instrumental from the very beginning (about 8 months prior to travel) with providing key travel information/recommendations and a very detailed daily itinerary including sightseeing and restaurant suggestions. The app that we utilized during our trip was excellent in that everything was at our fingertips - itinerary, tickets, maps, messaging with Olivia, etc. The trip began with an unexpected illness on our first day in London, but Olivia promptly assisted with rescheduling our walking city tour with Sean - who was great - and getting us back on track. Afternoon Tea at the Ritz and the "Mrs. Doubtfire" play were the highlights in London. Our journey in Paris began with a very enlightening Black/Jazz History Tour with our walking tour guide Maeva, who was absolutely terrific! Her knowledge and up-beat personality (especially with the kids) was absolutely remarkable. We learned a lot about some very famous Black Americans (e.g., Josephine Baker, Miles Davis, etc.) and enjoyed our first authentic French crepes during our walking tour - but definitely weren't our last in Paris! One of the key sights we wanted to see in Paris was Notre Dame since it's reopening. Tickets are difficult to obtain, but Olivia was able to secure tickets at the last minute and called us to make sure that we would be able to make it. We saw so many wonderful sights in such a seemingly short period of time in London and Paris (e.g., the Elizabeth Tower aka Big Ben, London Bridge, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Eiffel Tower, etc.) to include a day trip to Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Paris. The trip could not have ended more perfectly with an evening dinner cruise on the Seine with breathtaking views of a lit and sparkling Eiffel Tower. Seeing the Statue of Liberty (which we did not know existed in Paris) next to the Eiffel Tower at night was absolutely breathtaking. This was my first time utilizing a travel agency for any trip. I know for sure that should we take another trip to Europe I will definitely contact Olivia @ French Touch Travel to assist with travel plans. Merci Beaucoup Olivia for helping to make this a family vacation that we will be talking about for years to come!
