I had a beautiful tour of Paris last night in a gorgeous 1966 Fiat 2300S. This is a very rare car that both looks and sounds incredible! Paris speaks for itself at night but Stoyan was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. It was such a unique experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paris.

My husband and I were on a short trip to Paris for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we had Frederic drive us to Bruges since we had never been to Belgium and the pictures looked amazing. After a very comfortable ride there, Frederic started a walking tour with us in the morning and we quickly realized the pictures did not do this quaint city justice! We felt like Disney had created this perfect little town for people to see. Frederic walked us around before we stopped for lunch together. He was going to leave us to dine alone but we asked him to join us because we enjoyed his company so much and we wanted to hear more about the city. After lunch, he gave us the option of having him continue to walk us around or we could explore on our own. We chose to explore on our own since we felt he had given us such a good overview that morning. We had plans to tour the Chocolate Museum but when we arrived, it was closed due to the time of year. We actually didn't mind much and we just spent the day wandering the beautiful streets around the canals and stopping for hot chocolate and waffles. I would highly suggest a visit to Bruges to feel like you have stepped back in time. Speaking of time, we toured in January and lucked out that it wasn't extremely cold. The crowds were very low so it was easy to wander the streets and sometimes we found ourselves the only ones exploring the small alleyways. I would definitely return to Bruges one day and would highly suggest taking this tour especially if it is your first visit or if you have very limited time in the city.

I did not fully understand how much a pilgrimage to France Would change my heart and enrich my Roman Catholic faith. The History of France and of the Catholic Church as well as the lives of many of the saints such as, St. Terese and her parents St. Louis and St. Zellie, St Catherine Laboure and St. Bernadette was brought to life by an amazing tour guide, Vincent Lauferont. The depth and passion conveyed in the accounts of history as told to us by the tour guide was amazing. Not only was Vincent exceptionally knowledgeable about French history and the lives of the saints, he also personalizes the 10 day trip to accommodate the needs of many of the pilgrims. He not only secured Wheelchairs for the needs of some but he was compassionate assuming responsibility for pushing the wheelchair on one occasion from Mont Saint Michele across the bridge to the bus. For me, I had a desire to keep up my running schedule while abroad so Vincent creates an opportunity to run with me along the path of St Bernadette from Bartrès to Lourdes; how amazing is that? I don’t think I will ever be satisfied with another tour guide after having Vincent. If I could have it my way, I would want this talented young guide to accompany me on all of my future excursions. I attribute much of the success of the pilgrimage to divine intervention as well as to the A++ talent of our tour guide who made French history come alive in the 21st century!

We rented their bikes in the garage near Notre Dame. While it was easy to find and conveniently located, we find the pricing was too much. We only needed the bike for 3 hours but there was no option for this length, 4 hours costed 17€ for each bike. When we were getting the bikes (7 of them), it was not easy to find all of our designated bikes as they seem to spread randomly without any order. We had to look through each row each bike to find our numbers. Helmets were also locked up and we were not given the code. One of the bikes had a problem with the seat - it keeps moving and turning, but no one was there to assist us as it was just left in a garage for self service. After this experience, we feel it would be much more sensible to rent the city bike Velib for way cheaper (5€ for 3 hours if you continuously without docking) if you don’t mind self servicing.

We did the sculpture tour with Abbie McLean. This is really more of a slide show with commentary. Abbie showed us slides of about 8 sculptures and provided commentary about each. I learned a lot and enjoyed the time but would have enjoyed it more if the 'tour' had a faster pace and was pitched at a higher level. Abbie was very enthusiastic and engaging. I did wonder if any of the money from these tours goes to the Louvre?
