Testimonials

Thought I would share the below. Alan really loved the tours! Can’t wait to work together again. Thanks, Michelle

FROM PHILLIP BROWN TO ME TODAY: Hi Linda, The tour yesterday was amazing. I don’t take nearly as many pictures as I thought I might but only because I was 100% engrossed in what the guide was saying the whole day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and the tour was perfect. Thank you again for setting this up,

Hi. Yes and it was very good –thx!! As always I am so happy with the help and support by Decouvertes. Phillip’s Dad was so happy too (I sent him Phillip’s email words)…

GREAT! I appreciate your work on this.. and especially your quick response to my requests. It is so helpful when we have on-site companies get back to us in a timely manner.. Warm regards, joy

Good Afternoon - The webinar I took yesterday was one of the best I have taken in a very long time. I have been in the business 34 years and handle a lot of private arrangements. The webinar was very clear on how to use the website to book service AND what those services are. It was well worth the hour!

Dear Gabriel and Gisela, I just returned from my time in Paris, and I really wanted to thank the whole Decouvertes team for a wonderful first day in Paris. The airport meet & greet service was an unexpected surprise, and so great to know about for my ultra-luxe and elderly clients. It was such a luxury breezing through the airport.

Joachim, I really value the personalization, and your reaching out by phone yesterday. I believe direct communications between advisor and supplier provides an elevated services to our clients. Thank you for sharing this approach. The itinerary you proposed was really great for Mr. and Mrs.

Hi Laura and Happy New Year to you too! Mr. Hopkins and Mrs. Walters had a fantastic time. They said that all of the private tours you arranged and the restaurants you recommended were on a scale of 1 – 10, with 1 being terrible and 10 being outstanding, all were either a 9 or a 10. Thank you for all of your and Emilie’s assistance.

Hi Carli! Happy New Year! We are back home, and wanted to take a moment to tell you about our unforgettable trip to Paris! First, we had no trouble at all with the protesters. We are so very glad that we took your advice and kept the trip exactly as scheduled!

Good Morning Oana - Thank you for your e-mail. In all of the dealings I've had with Joachim, he has always been very efficient, professional and easy to work with. I've always enjoyed communicating with him to make the right decisions for my clients. He is a true professional.

You don't need to change a thing, in my opinion. Your work product is so seamless and easy to work with. Your people are very well trained and dealing with Decouvertes is easy. Other companies could learn from you.

Hi Ralp, Got this from the client... "Hi Mary. Sebastian was our driver/ tour guide today. He was an amazing man. Energy, knowledge, clarity of English and ability to teach and share were some of the strengths of this awesome guy! We had such a great time with him."

Ralp, thank you for complimentary meet and greet at the airport. It was such a treat and made out entry into Paris so much easier.

We arrived at 5:30 ( 11:30 Paris time) & decided to stay at the Hilton. In the past, Steve would always have driven. Life changes now that we are in our 80’s! Steve is hiking to the airport to get the bus to the long-distance parking lot.

Here we R at Giraffe waiting 4 Baba au Rum. First night outdoor dining open in a week- Lucky us. Trip beyond expectations! Judy, Val, Steve

Cecile, The Mark Meissner group went so well and in fact we are already planning for next year. Mark would like driver Fabrice again!! He did an outstanding job. Thank you for all the efficient service and making this trip memorable for all the participants.

Easy flight! Comforting to be welcomed by friendly driver! Very nice modern hotel. Has only been open 3 months. Very accommodating! Anxious to work out kinks! We had a wonderful day at Giverny. Rain on the way. Sun peaked thru clouds during our garden tour. Outstanding guide. Thanks. Val & Steve

Hi Andre, My clients, the H family, LOVED the house and especially the guide! Thank you so much for all your help with this booking. I would not hesitate to use your company in the future for any of these types of requests! Jill

Hi Shahista

Wow. That is pretty amazing. I told Bertrand last month we need to start working together again but wow... I didn't expect this kind of gesture right out of the park. We really should email everyone in the company a summary of your experience.

Bonjour Mickael, This is absolutely fabulous! Of course as clients come to me to design travel, I will contact Decouvertes. Thanks for sharing and please let me know! Kathy

Hello,

Hello Shahista and Harmonie,

Shahista, thank you! I knew there was a method to the itinerary and you are the expert. They are leaving this evening and they will be there tomorrow. Again, thank you for all your hard work. You have constructed a trip that they will always remember. Liesse

Hello Sandra!

I just received an e-mail from Mr. Q, he said your services were absolutely perfect and he loved the hotels in Paris and Normandy. So thank you for all the work on that booking. Always nice when the client takes the time to thank us. Have a really nice day. Carol

Hi Geraldine, I just wanted to let you know our clients are having a marvelous time. They said Paris was fun (though a bit drizzly) and Bayeux is just perfect. Hotels have been top-notch! Train ride was ok! Tour guides have been just wonderful.

Hi Celine, I wanted to let you know that Valerie and her mother had a wonderful trip. They particularly loved the fashion/shopping day and the stylist you hired for them was apparently amazing! They enjoyed everything. Best, Melissa Durkee

Dear Shahista, Forgive me for being so unresponsive in getting back to you! It was a Holiday weekend for us here and I did take an additional 2 days off as well.

Dear Celine, The trip was more than my clients expected. The apartment location was great , right near the Place des Voges, was clean and comfortable. They walked many places, with the guide Christian, they walked over 10 miles! He was excellent , and it was a perfect match of guide, and being on their own. Julia

Dear Celine, The positive that did come out of this situation is that I was introduced to you and Decouvertes.I look forward to working with you in the future. You have already proven to be a real expert as a France specialist. You had put together a great itinerary. Marilyn

Dear Geraldine Absolutely. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we get them wonderful guides and that the experience feels very private to them. They have stated that to me repeatedly. And you absolutely have my trust:) I love working with you!Sincerely, Jennifer

Hello Celine,Thank you for this wonderful proposal. My apologies for missing your call on Friday. I spoke with Valerie after she looked at the proposal. She and I are so impressed.Best,Melissa

Hello again Lina, Can I say wow for the brochure? That is really, really cool. I do not recall receiving something so professional from any DMC elsewhere in the world. Congrats to you and your team. Please share my feedback with them.Mau

Bonjour Geraldine! Thank you for this proposal and for this beautiful brochure, it is amazing and sets a new standard for travel planning. Kind regards,Carolyn

Dear Cynthia,YOU and I HAVE made this trip a GO with our persistence: you from the hotels etc. and me from the Dixon Director of the Gardens and mailings and phone call to the tour participants! We are truly “worker bee”!Glenda

Dear Marine,

Dear Mickael,

Good Morning,

Hi Marine I just want to say “thank you” for making the arrangements for us. Thus far we are having an amazing time in Paris (despite our bags being left at Copenhagen airport). We are still yet to receive them, but are trying to make the most of things by shopping, shopping and more shopping.

Greetings from Brasil! Dear Bertrand, I’m writing you to thank you for our services in Paris! The transfers went perfectly well and the tour in Versalhes was a very nice experience! Thank you very much for your attention! Kind regards Marina & Cecilia

Good afternoon Thomas, Please forgive my tardy reply. We arrived home late last Sunday evening. It was a busy week catching up after 18 days of traveling.

Dear Marine, I went online and made a new package with 3 tickets. Then, I made the payment. Can I access the old reservation and cancel it so there are not 2 in my account....or does it matter? Can you make sure the tours have been requested? I have a receipt for payment....but I want to make sure everything is booked.

Geraldine, Thank you for such a great day yesterday. We all had a great time and really enjoyed the unique activities. Our guide Christian was terrific and very knowledgeable. I look forward to working with you on our next itinerary to France! Many thanks again for the special day!Chad

Thank you for looking after this VIP client! Please let me know if you need me to resubmit my banking information for the commission transfer.

Dear M. Collignon, Lucile Zagouri was our guide and driver during part of our recent wonderful trip to France.

Dear Sirs: We just wanted to thank you and tell you what a wonderful time we both had during our recent visit to Paris. Our guides, Linda and Gwenaelle were both knowledgeable, and very entertaining. We really enjoyed meeting both of them and learned a great deal about Paris and the surrounding area.

Dear Andre, Just a short note to let you know that the Brunner family had a wonderful time--they said that the lunch at Jules Verne with the top of the Eiffel Tower experience was fantastic(well worth the price)and they wanted you to thank their guide in the south for everything that was done for them.

Sebastien, I wanted you to know that the Normandy excursion and our wonderful guide Matthew were definitely a hit with our group. Somehow each place we went was not crowded with the cruise tour buses. Thank you so much for arranging a wonderful tour.

Dear Didier:

Laurent: I spoke with M/M Bloomquist today from their trip to Paris and Bordeaux. They could not have been happier with everything that was arranged by Découvertes, and they look forward to their next travel experience. A job well done! Thank you for all of your assistance. Regards,

Hello Laurent I have just spoken with Mrs Ariella Spyrides and she absolutely loved the yacht! She said it was superb! The crew was apparently amazing and she couldn’t fault it in any way. She really raved about it which is unusual for this family. Not too much exceed their expectation!

Dear Thomas, I want to thank you for arranging this wonderful tour for us. It was the highlight of our trip. Laurence was a terrific guide. She was very knowledgeable and flexible; making for an extremely fulfilling tour. We came home with great memories & pictures.

Bertrand, I want to take a moment to tell you what a fantastic job Emily de Clermont has done on a very last minute request. My clients are enroute to Paris and Emily was able to get everything they requested - with lots of changes - confirmed before they checked in for their flight.

Dear Andre, Mr. Levy asked me to forward this email to you. See below. Thank you for everything! We are back from our fabulous trip to France. I wanted you to know that all the planning and attention to detail really paid off.

Dear Didier, The clients loved the trip and your services! Everything was perfect! Congratulations Didier!!

Dear Bertrand, I had a client rent an apartment and join her many friends for many excursions and outings while in Paris. I had a last minute notice of all the activities and excursions and your team of employees have worked very hard to help us and accommodate our customer.

My clients have just been in the office and absolutely loved what you did for them in Paris…thank you so much…they were so happy and your service was perfect!

Again, I thank you…you did a remarkable job and I always look forward to working with you for my NICE clients!!! Take care, Andre!!!!

We wanted to thank you for your suggestion to use Decouvertes in France during our cruise last month. We had a wonderful guide named Joe that met us in Cannes (after we finally got to shore, that's another story). Ralph and I had been to the area

Hello Laurent, I have just returned from France a few hours ago and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this trip. The hotels and guides were terrific! Thanks so much…. I actually gave your phone number to a couple I met in Mt St Michel and hoped that they might call you to arrange some sightseeing at the last minute.

Hi Didier,

Hi Cecile, Just wanted to let you know our group was very happy in Nice with all of the tours/sightseeing that you arranged(Harry requested) for the week in Nice March 25-1 Apr.

Dear Cynthia and Sebastien (and everyone else who worked on this), Thank you for the terrific job you did on this MICDS school trip. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves - as far as I have heard. You worked long and hard on changes and requests - and we so appreciate your efforts, suggestions and final itinerary.

Dear Cécile, We are just home and were delighted with our stay in France, your arrangements and planning, and of course Stephanie who was a more than excellent guide and driver all rolled into a very intelligent, likable, and gracious host. You should be very proud to have her on your team.

Bonjour Sebastien, Thanks for your assistance with this group. They sent me great feedback. Thanks for everything. We are paying today this invoice. Tomorrow I will send you the wire transfer´s copy. My best regards,

Amazing service and i cannot wait to use your product again.

Dear Bertrand, Thank you for the excellent webinar today. I enjoyed it very much. Have a lovely weekend!

I very much enjoyed Bertrand's webinair on Bordeaux....very informative and helpful. He covered a lot of "territory" and did a great job of explaining about all of the wine regions, as well as the specifics of the Bordeaux area. The overview was as worthwhile as the specifics on Bordeaux, in my opinion.

Thank you Cécile. Your responsiveness is a breath of fresh air. It will take me a bit to tie down this client. They don’t make decisions easily. She did ask me last night about a unique venue for a dinner. She mentioned; the Louvre, the Trocadero, or Versailles.

Dear Andre, I wish I could give you a thank-you hug! But I suppose that a thank-you e-mail will have to suffice! Thank you again for all of this and everything does look perfect. There is no doubt in my mind that my clients will be treated to a wonderful experience.

Hi Bertrand and Cecile, First and foremost, thank you for the generous services offered during my stay in Paris earlier this month. I was very impressed with my guided day in Versailles with Linda and Decouvertes’ service and quality overall.

How nice to see pictures of all of you! We love what you do, and I am so appreciative of the help Cecile (one of the Ceciles???) - Sebastien and Cynthia have given us on planning this very price concious student trip to France for MICDS.

Hello Laurent, Mr. and Mrs. Beckstett have returned. They LOVED the guide you chose for them. I believe her name was Linda? The day in Normandy was actually sunny! Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to working with you again. Warm regards,

I’m so happy to have your hard work, thank you very much. Working with your company is very nice. She will be so thrilled to have such a location, amenities, quality and it worked for her budget. Again, I appreciate everything. Sincerely,

Didier,

Dear Cecile , We have just returned from our Voyager Club journey. I cannot say enough for Brigitte and our driver "Justia??" (I am not spelling his name correctly). They were both wonderful everyone loved the place we had lunch. I think by the end of the event, everyone was basically happy and

Chere Cecile,

I just spoke with my colleague in Paris, Alex Michaud. Alex told me he met Sandrine and therefore I am copying her as well now. I am writing as a follow up to your recent FAM with Valerie Wilson Travel and Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Paris. I heard nothing but amazing response and to that end I am writing to you today.

We just wanted to tell you from beginning to end it was the greatest trip ever. We had the most knowledgable guide when we arrived - a young 27 year old guy who was as much fuin as he knew just what we wanted to see.

Last July I had a wonderful trip to your beautiful Provence. My assigned guide was Joe who began as a guide, but the trip ended with him as a friend.

Hello Laurent,

Hi, We called your office and here you are in Europe - just wanted to tell you from beginning to end it was the greatest trip ever. We had the most knowledgable guide when we arrived - a young 27 year old guy who was as much fun as he knew just what we wanted to see.

Dear Sebastien, Do excuse me for not writing to you earlier. Right after our Paris event I had a series of regional events, a real road-show) The guests and the client were very happy about the event.

Good morning Laurent, Sindlingers had a fabulous trip to Paris and Normandy! William Sindlinger Sr called several times to thank us! I will talk to new customer this week about next years trip!Thanks again!!

Good morning

Andre, On the 2nd of September, we had a fantastic tour of Paris with Linda. Linda was insightful, polite and very knowledgeable in every way. As first time visitors to Paris, this was most beneficial to my wife, Suzanne, and me.

I just spoke with my client that we did the full day Provence off of Regent Cruise – they had the best time – loved the guide – it was perfect and I can’t thank you enough – as they are also personal friends!

Hi Sebastien The excursion was enjoyed by the group and Miriam is delightful. Corsica is so scenic and loved the town of Piana that we drove through. Thanks again for a wonderful experience

Hi:

THANK YOU to all of you for three great events - all in one day! Though the fact that I had selected another DMC for this event(s) was not appreciated but our usual DMC I was really delighted to see all of everyone's hard work pay off.

Dear Lydie, I have been remiss in writing to you. I hope you recovered from the June dates on the client sheet!! Thank you so much. My clients, the Pescatellos loved their guide in the Dordogne and all was perfect. Many thanks for all of your great help.

Hi Sebastien The excursion was enjoyed by the group and Miriam is delightful. Corsica is so scenic and loved the town of Piana that we drove through. Thanks again for a wonderful experience Trevor

Andre and Laurent, Great news!!! The Shaper’s LOVED the yacht on the Seine and want to do this again!

Hi Lydie, We are now back in Australia after 5 memorable weeks in France. The hotels you assisted us with in the South ( Cezanne in Aix, La ferme de la Huppe in Gordes, and La Perousse in Nice) were all great and contributed to our fine time. Thanks for your assistance, we will be recommending your services to our friends.

Hi Lydie, I just want to take a moment to say "Thank You" so very much for our trip to Normandy. Oliver was puntual, well mannered, and very nice - we both enjoyed him very much. I appreciate how quickly you pulled this together for me - I learned so much from this trip. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Sandrine and Andre-Recently I received a survey from you July 7-Sandrine I want to tell you that Andre was WONDERFUL to work with he was detailed, attentive and very knowledgeable and I look forward to working with Andre in the future!! Andre-How did tour go yesterday!!

Hi Lydie,

Dear Lydie, I thought you would like to know that my clients were very pleased with the services provided. They found the VIP Meet and Greet very valuable and thought the guides and tours were excellent.

Dear Didier, Fabulous in all ways possible. Excellent is making hotel suggestions and help with private transfers, restaurant suggestions and extra side trip options - which they eventually did - some pre and some booked while in Paris in addition......

Bonjour Sebastien, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work. I have not yet heard from all my clients, but the ones I have spoken to were very pleased with the tours and transfers, and how well everything was arranged. They had good things to say about the tour guides. Merci beaucoup!

Andre, I just wanted to say thank-you for all of your hard work and let you know that everything went so well for the Bradley group.

Bonjour Sebastien and Cecile, My Chinese group is home and the trip was a big success. They had the most marvelous rooms at Hotel de Paris. I know there were many changes along the way and they were overbooked with their business activities.

Dear Bertrand,

Hi Sandrine, Yesterday's webinar was really helpful, Bertrand did a super job - giving us tips about the areas of the city and giving us pictures of the properties.

Good morning Andre, I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you for all your hard work and attention to my clients the Wolstenholmes private tour through Normandy. They are still currently in London, but I spoke with them briefly yesterday and they had a wonderful time.

Hello Andre,

Hi Bertrand,

The webinar was absolutely wonderful. Bertrand was so informative that I felt as if I were on a trip with him as he was talking. Thank you for the opportunity to attend the webinar! Will you be attending TravelMart in Las Vegas this year? If so, I hope to meet you in person.

What a great time we had on our recent trip to France. You did and outstanding job and we will not forget you. I spoke with Paul Busang at Gullivers Travels today. I was singing your praises and he was happy to hear that we love you!

Laurent, I just spoke to my clients Mr. and Mrs. Becker who had a driver/guide in Le Harve. Vincent was their guide. The Beckers had nothing but praise for his knowledge, attitude and professionalism. He made their trip to France most memorable. Please pass on their compliments and praise to his superiors.

Sebastien –

I returned yesterday from the "Paris in the Springtime" trip that GTI arranged . I wanted to write to let you know how much my mother and I enjoyed the trip and compliment your staff on putting together such a wonderful trip. The itinerary was perfect - just the right amount of group time with ample time

Hello, Anabela... I met with Christine Holmes this morning, who said that the Paris trip was just wonderful in every way and that Annie, our guide, was superb. I am sending you the brief comments (also very commendable) from Abby Nash, which I received last week.

Laurent, bom dia. Aproveito para contar do grupo desta viagem, gostaram muito de tudo dos serviços, dos guias tudo perfeito, somente elogios. Parabéns e obrigada pela parceria.

Good morning Lydie

Dear Didier, See email from client below…very nice comments. Thank you so much for making his trip perfect!

Cecile and Anabela,

Dear Isabelle and Bertrand, Bill and I are almost home in Seattle after a wonderful few days in Bordeaux – thanks to both of you! The weather cooperated throughout and we so enjoyed touring the various regions around Bordeaux and of course learning about (and tasting) many wonderful wines.

Hello Anabela, Mr. Frank's response - "The trip was spectacular and everything worked to perfection. Thanks for your help..." Another guest said: "Perfect" "Thanks for all your great organization - everything is going well." "Everything has been spectacular - we feel quite spoiled...."

Very competitive rates versus other Virtuoso suppliers. Prompt and expedite service. Would definitely without any doubt consider Decouvertes for future clients.

Didier was EXCELLENT in all ways possible on a very short notice booking!

Dear Andre I spoke with Mrs. Dechiara this morning and she had rave reviews. She loved their guides, said each one was fantastic. Her daughter now wants to move to Paris. I wanted to let you know how happy they were and thank you again for giving my clients a great experience. All the best, Melissa

Dear Andre, I spoke with Mr. Rogers yesterday and he said that your services in Paris could not have been better. Thank you for arranging such quality service for our valued clients.

Lydie, Mr and Mrs Landon Butler had such a great trip in the summer with their guide Sophie Monbeig, touring the WW1 Battle sites, with Mrs Jean Halberstam, that they are planning another trip to France.Thank you very much. Regards, Joel Tankel

Didier, I received a call this morning from Mr. Cooney regarding the tour with driver that we set up last minute in Nice for last Saturday. He could not have been more pleased! His clients were impressed with the car, and the service, but most of all with the guide. She apparently was perfect!

Hi Andre, I wanted to send you a copy of the email I rec’d from my clients. A compliment for Decouvertes as you did such a wonderful job and I would not have been able to plan this trip in such a short time without your help and knowledge of the Verdun area. I have also sent a copy to Heidi with Signature Travel network as well.

The Homans had a fantastic time, thanks or all your efforts on our behalf. Tony

Always received a prompt reply back from Andre. He also always provided the answers to all the questions asked. Very helpful, friendly and professional. Thank you for all your assistance. The following is the feedback from Mr. and Mrs. Schnidman:

All aspects of booking process from beginning to end were exceptional!!! Client was happy and that makes travel agent happy too!! Can't wait to work with Didier again!! Julie

In a nutshell, as the saying goes, my clients loved the trip. To be brief, the first guide in Carcassone was very good-they liked him, but not as great as the guide in Provence. They thought she was very very knowledgeable and so enjoyed her. In the south of France, they really liked the driver/guide.

Lydie was always very responsive (though we of course had to wait the 24 hrs to get answers due to the time difference between the US and France) and always thorough in her answers to the clients requests/questions. I would use your company again.

Hi Isabel: The Salidos were my clients and here is the feedback: Thank you very much for everything. They were very happy with all your services. It was very easy working with you and I was really impress of your services. The clients came back very happy and they told me the guide was excellent.

My client thought the trip was wonderful. He was so happy the Jules Verne dinner was finally confirmed! Didier and I worked well together with many special requests. It was our first time and we now have another confirmed program as well as one pending.

I thought that the whole process was extremely easy and all questions and requests were taken care of very quickly.

It was a pleasure to work with you…you replied quickly and all seemed to be in order. Although the client did not give me details, they simply said they had a wonderful trip. Marcie

Thank you for your survey.....I do assign a number (5) to Lydie and all your people.......enjoyed working with them and our clients loved the good service...thank you.....hope we all have a good 2011 year.....Sharon

We've been receiving fantastic feedback from our travelers to Normandy this fall. Andre did a fantastic job in securing excellent guides. I wanted to pass along the wonderful comments we received:Guides: "We had 2 outstanding guides and they were very accommodating. We got along very well and enjoyed our time together.

Hi Lydie, Mr. and Mrs. Kolb and her mom, Mrs. Murdoch had a great time. Here is the feedback from her that I wanted to share with you:

Dear Isabel, Attached is the write-up of Mr Murray regarding his trip to the D-Day Beaches, which he forwarded to a list of his friends and family. As you can see it was the highlight of his trip. Ivy

Perfection! What an exceptional 2 days! I also the loved the limo service. The drivers were excellent. Thank you! Mary Ann

My clients had a wonderful time. Thanks for taking such good care of them. Will use you again in the future. You do a fantastic job! Sandy

Hi Sebastien, We have a excellent shore event today in Marseille. Bridgette was just an excellent guide in every way...the guests said what a good tour it was...and it was! Our motor coach departed right on time at 9am with all 12 guests plus 2 hosts. We returned to ship by 3pm....with not much traffic delays...

I was so impressed by how quickly I received a phone call back. I needed the impossible, and Decouvertes made it happen! The clients’ needed a room in Monaco – last minute – during the Yacht Show. They LOVED the room you found for them. They emailed all of their friends from the balcony and told them how great the view was.

Dear Isabel, I wish to tell you Mr. & Mrs. Scanlon had a wonderful time and loved their entire post-cruise itinerary with Decouvertes! Thank you! Claudia

Thank you Didier....what a presentation!!!!! I want to travel with you...next time that I go to France. Congratulations, I liked it a lot. Magali

I expressed to Andre how perfect the Rich’s trip went – they loved all the guides – and there was not a hitch – for me Andre is spectacular to work with – very professional – and went out of his way with the bookings – not just this one – that I have personally handled, thank you, Carole

Your team was excpetional and helpful and patient through out the whole booking process. This is what Mrs Halberstam had to say about the tour:

Your guide for Saint Malo, Rose was just excellent. She was so charming and knowledgeable. She showed up on time and couldn’t have been better. Kay Lynn

Dear Didier, I thought you might enjoy these pictures from the Davidson’s Bucket List trip. Even with the illness, they had a wonderful trip and loved it all. Thanks for everything you did. Stevie

Dear Didier, Just want to let you know that my client was thrilled to have Sophie as their guide. He said if he ever comes back to Paris he wants the same tour person. Please pass along to Sophie. Thank you, Claudia

Hello Lydie: Just wanted to let you know that my clients thoroughly enjoyed their private shore excursion that you helped me with. They were met by a lovely tour guide – who was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, informative, etc. etc. The Heiting family had an exceptional experience in Nice!!

Bonjour Lydie, the Fox family had a wonderful time, I have not gotten all the details yet, but will let you know, Thank you for all your help on this one.. Stephanie

Hello Andre, The Atwood/Edminster trip was a success. They LOVED Patrick and thought the Wine Experience was very worthwhile. Onward to the Tour de France 2013! All the best, Sharon

My client said you guys were amazing for the Versaille tour. Was very appreciative the guide pushed her husband in a wheelchair. Said she couldn't thank me and you enough. So thanks so much! Hope Paris goes just as well and I'm sure it will. Denise

Andre, Kelly Barnhart just gave me a review of their trip and told me the tours and guides/drivers were all wonderful! She said you were very flexible when they changed plans (as I thought they might). Thank you once again for helping make my clients trips memorable and stress free! Jane

Hi Isabel, The webinar was great. Put me on the list for the next one! And, now I have my log in for the web site! Best, Katey

Many years ago I visited Paris..but not the Loire Valley region. I learned a great wealth of information from your webinar about the Loire Valley regarding history, location, towns, chateaus, day trips from Paris, family travel, visits to vineyards, air ballooning and more. The webinar was very helpful.

Hi Lydie, I just want to report on the Carole Glowacki’s trip this past two weeks They found that all the guides you set up for them were excellent and they asked the guides to join them whenever a lunch was involved.

Dear Isabel, Just wanted you to know that all went very well with the Sciortino booking. The clients were very happy with all the services and they loved Provence. Thank you for all your help. Didier was the person who worked with us on this booking and it was a pleasure to work with him. Helene Singer

Fernanda, I don’t know what I should do with this letter...from Decouvertes. Everything was excellent. Cars comfortable..in Monaco was a Citroen...the same model that Sarkozy uses.! Very very nice. The people were informative, pleasant (simpaticos) How to improve? Really, I was completely satisfied. We enjoyed the tour 100%.

Everything was fabulous. Didier handled my bookings. Right on time for everything. Your company is terrific! Frances

Hi Didier, I just want to thank you for make one of the most wonderful days in the French Riviera coast possible for my customers Jacqueline Camejo and Theodore Tamariz Espinosa, they loved the tour and they were externally happy with Marie, the driver according to then a sweet heart.

Andre was a pleasure to work with. He was patient and kind and provided exactly what we asked for. I look forward to working with him again soon. My client said the guide was excellent and all the services were delivered exactly on time. Thank you for all your assistance. Sandy

Andre.. this is a very belated e mail to thank you for the great job for the Barnett family who was in France on 31 May. This is from Mr Barnett: AND for your information.. NOT all the guides got such favorable reviews!!! Thanks again!!! Carol

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with Decouvertes. I was lucky to find you. I couldn’t have asked for better service. Everything was outstanding. Thanks to Sebastien, I looked great. There were no surprises unless they were positive. Your choice of our guide and driver were perfect for my group. You did an outstanding job.

I was very pleased with this first experience working with your company and Andre was quick to respond to my emails. I did not compare rates with other on-sites nor did I need extra support. The requirement to fax a commission request is inconvenient but the payment came as promised.

The integrity of the guide was incredible ,and I was very pleased with all of the services I received Easy to work with your company and great response. Client was pleased with everything. Bobbie

Andre - just wanted you to know that Peter and Mary Levin have just returned home and LOVED everything that you and I arranged for them!! You worked so hard to put this together....I just wanted you to know!!! Thanks for all your help....they are old-time clients that I need to "keep happy"!! Cindy

I wanted to let you know how wonderful both I AND my clients think you are. I'm not sure that you can improve your services! I have not received one complaint in all of the times that I have worked with you. I so appreciate all that you do for me and my valued clients.

Andre’s response time was wonderful considering the time difference and he was able to give me wonderful suggestions! My clients were very happy and LOVED their wine tour!!!! Barbara

Muito bom dia Sabry...Fiquei muito feliz em trabalhar com voce , e muito mais feliz em saber que voce compreende o português .... Sentirei muita saudade sua ( imagino que compreenda o sentido da palavra saudade... ) Muito boa sorte e que seu caminho seja iluminado ... Obrigado por tudo novamente, Davi

The trip went wonderfully and they had a great time. I do believe that they are now officially BIG TOUR DE FRANCE fans for life!!! I wanted to thank you again for all your help in planning this event and teaching me everything you know about racing. I too had a great time and hope to return one day.

Hello gentlemen, I wanted to thank you for being able to procure hotel rooms at the last minute for my clients, during the Tour De France. They said all 3 hotels worked out great. One was a bit far, but considering how late they booked.

Dear Isabel, the webinar was very good as it ended up being a one-on-one with Bertrand. He explained everything (albeit quickly due to time allotted) and answered all my questions. I wish every training could be like that! Corkie van Zak

Didier was excellent - very professional extremely patient and attentive. He always did what he requested and gave us all the information we needed.

I have loved working with Didier and Lydie on your staff with not only this file but others as well. Outstanding!!!! Client loved their St Emilion area hotel. Thank you! Amy

Our trip went very well. I think Moustier Ste Marie is a fabulous destination, and our lodging at Restanques, although modest was very charming. One of our guides, Robert, who took us from Nice, via Antibes and Cannes to Moustier was very good.

Didier replied to my very last minute request for my client’s last minute decision to arrange a shore excursion for Sunday. All was very smooth.

Hi sweetie, My client emailed me and said that there will be someone to check him out and help with the move. Such great news AND he’s happy! Please let your director know how much I appreciate all of your work there!!!! You’re a “keeper” as we say in the U.S.! Best, Susie

Dear Cecile, Again you have put my mind at ease with the professionalism and thoroughness given. Not all On Sites are a wonderful as you. You are exceeding my expectations… Melissa

Bridget gave us a wonderful day!!! She is a true treasure of a guide!!! Lisa - Host on board the Seabourn Legend

Dear Lydie, Just had to let you know how HAPPY Travis is with his apartment!! Enjoy his email: “Susie- I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that the apartment c'est magnifique!

Dear Andre,

Hi Didier, Received an email from Sue Zelickson upon their return. They had a wonderful trip! Thank you for all your work-- I so appreciate it :) I thought you might enjoy seeing her brief comments.

Dear Didier, Mrs. Fabian was so impressed with your services, and I thank you for taking such great care of her and Mrs. Greenway. She has called this morning about a trip for next spring. Kindest regards, Chappell

Hello Andre, here you have the feedback from my clients:

Hello Andre, I would like to inform you that Mr. & Mrs. Muller enjoyed their visit to Nice and touring with Decouvertes. Mrs. Muller commented the guide was exceptional and they thoroughly enjoyed their day.

Hello Andre, To follow-up on the package you put together for our mutual clients...ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! I spoke with Karin on Monday after they had returned from their vacation and she raved about her Paris experience with Michael and about how great Signature Travel Network's Destination Specialists are.

Good Morning Andre, The feedback that I received from Mr. Powers on the dinner cruise was that "the boat was perfect and very special." Thank you again for all of your hard-work to ensure that was a memorable experience for them and please extend my gratitude to all of your associates behind the scenes who helped to make it happen!

Dear Andre, It has been a pleasure to work with you. You are the soul of patience ... a quality I greatly appreciate, as this has not been an easy booking. I look forward to working with you again soon!! Warmest regards, Sandy

Hello! I just wanted to let you know how outstanding the service has been from Andre in your office. He is a gentlemen and has been wonderful to deal with and I am referring him to everyone I know in the USA and Canada.

Object: Thanks for a great tour! Heidi, We had a great time in Alsace, thanks largely to you. I'm sure that I speak for everyone in The Historic New Orleans Collection when I say that!

Hello Heidi, Just wanted to thank you for all your efforts for our tour. You really made the trip truly memorable for me. When I look at my photographs, I am reminded of all the historic things you told us. Things I would have never realized.&

Our travelers were overall quite pleased with the program. Thank you so much for all your efforts coordinating this excellent itinerary for us. I enjoyed working with you and hope we get another opportunity to do so in the near future. Warm regards, Leslie

Hello. I wanted to share my recent experience with the Virtuoso onsite Decouvertes. I have been putting my itineraries together with Didier Colonna and I want to express to you how wonderful Didier has been to work with.

…everything went very well. Both Marie-France and Heidi were wonderful. Marie-France's idea to have the walking tour and lunch near the Jewish Art Museum was fabulous. It put the experience of the museum in context. The visit to the Sorbonne was more than we could have hoped for.

Hello, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for making this last cruise a very special program for our passengers. We have heard NOTHING but good things in regards to the trip, from both our staff and the pax, and I can’t thank you enough for this. Your hard work is very much appreciated and I couldn’t be happier with how things went.

Dear Bertrand & Lydie,

Thank you very much for these offers. I have forwarded them to my client and will be back to you shortly. I sincerely appreciate your help as they are very anxious to have the apartment confirmed and reserved so they can book their airline tickets. Thank you again, Betsy

Hello Lydie, I wanted to take the time to formally thank you for making all the arrangements for our trip to Paris. My children and I truly had a fabulous time and felt we were in very good hands with our guides, Sophie and Michael. Most people would think ten days in Paris might be a little long but we were not ready to leave.

I did enjoy the webinar very much and learned. Your website is amazing and you offer so many activites and sites. Thank you again, Heide

Hi Sebastien, Just to say a very big thank you for yesterday. My guide Maria was outstanding. Please thank her again. Best regards, Peter

The webinar was a very informative, and interesting session. I was unable to respond to the presenter to tell him how much I enjoyed it. Could you please pass along my thanks to him. Janohn

My clients were extremely satisfied with the guide, Christophe, and the accommodations. It was my first experience using Decouvertes. I will definitely contact you first when I need special travel arrangements in France. Thank you for such a professional job!Clients’ comments:

My clients had a fabulous day and said that their guide was the best ever. Thank you so much. Best Regards, Sally

Hello Isabel, I really enjoyed the webinar yesterday; I was late joining and don’t think I properly loaded the audio so I couldn’t talk, but I loved the information and had no idea you had such an extensive fashion option for Paris!

Didier,

Merci Beaucoup Bertrand!

Dear Didier and Bertrand:

Dear Andre, M/M Knight had a wonderful trip! Your services and driver where great and no complains on that at all. The rest fantastic! Thank you, Ginny

Lydie was so responsive to my clients’ specific needs and these were very challenging clients. They changed their itinerary several times and then a few days before they were supposed to leave Mrs. Dayton got sick.

Dear Andre, I wanted to pass along the wonderful praise I received about Rose, the Hogan's guide. Thank you again for your assistance with this booking. Best Regards, Lisa“Lisa,

Dear Andre, The Knights have returned they had a wonderful trip. Just loved the guide Isabelle couldn’t say enough good things about her. Everything went very well. Liz

Good morning Julie, The arrangements you made for us in St. Malo were perfect. We had a total of 20 participants (18 guests + 2 hosts), one guest canceled that morning due to illness. The beautiful, clean coach along with the driver and your terrific guide Fabrice were parked ready to go prior to our meeting time.

Good afternoon. I really enjoyed the webex training yesterday and absolutely adore the website! It covers everything! I cannot wait to use it. Thank you very much. Karen

Hi Isabel, The website looks amazing and I can't wait to use it -- try it out. Best regards, Vickie

Julie, Good morning from Fort Worth.. The excursion was wonderful. Each couple commented to me that she was one of the best guides they have had. Some had also done the shore excursions on the ship that week and mentioned she was much better than the ones they had on those events.

I was both the agent and client. We did not need to contact your office but appreciate 24/7 available contact info....Our guide Isabel was excellent and we enjoyed our tour tremendously. I personally might have enjoyed another brief winery visit and tasting some different wine products..... Merci Beaucoup... Cynthia

My clients had a fabulous time… The Paris hotel, excursions, tour guides, etc..were super! I want to personally thank Lydie for all her hard work and total professionalism a in arranging the program for the clients..EXCELLENT JOB! Allan

Thank you Lydie! Mr. Levy loved the trip.....said the DaVinci tour was "worthless" and had nothing to do with the movie....but said that the Eiffel Tower tour was spectacular! The kids and everyone thought it "the best".

Isabel and Bertrand, your webinar was very informative I cant imagine how much work you put into the content. I will make sure all the agents here know about this website. It was great to talk with you today. Nancy

Our clients love your service. We love the amount of excellent information that we get from you and we love the creativity and flexibility you show in your itineraries. I am very proud to call you our travel partners in France.

Hi Julie, I finally talked to Dr Kelly, he said Aix went well and was the "highlight" of the trip!!! Thanks for making it such a success, Karen

Hi Julie: The excursion was terrific. Patricia, the guide, was wonderful and the luncheon was delicious. Thanks for everything. Kay

Dear Andre, I was just about ready to contact you to tell you how excellent I have found your services and look forward to working with you in the future. It is an easy task when things go as planned but it shows the quality of an onsite when things have to be changed and altered. I thank you for your excellence.

Hello to all of you: I just returned from Travel Mart to find this e-mail in red below from a honeymoon couple that all of you assisted me with for their unforgettable trip and I wanted to share it with you.

Bonjour Isabel,

Hi Andre! I am just back from France and I can not tell you how wonderful the entire trip was!! We were met outside the baggage claim with a sign and driven to the hotel, and then, the next day Guy was our tour guide on the all day tour to Monaco, Eze etc etc. He was really fantastic! Please thank him again for us!

Let me thank you again for your knowledge, your expertise and your kindness.. You made this easy for me and I know my client will be very happy... Thanks Betty

We truly enjoyed our guide. She was quite delightful, informative, and helpful. Overall we had a very positive experience and we loved Monaco and Eze!

I truly enjoyed working with Didier. I actually sent Didier a couple of notes thanking him for his professional service and for his tenacity in handling the numerous changes for Mrs. Morgan.

Thank you Andre! My clients loved their guide & were also thankful that the weather was perfect—thank you for also controlling that for them. You don’t miss any details.

Thank you! The professionalism shown by the various people I deal with made me feel comfortable and assured my clients would receive wonderful service.

Really, everything was fine, and Andre was extremely helpful. I would certainly use you again, no question!! Clients were very satisfied with the guide, and had absolutely no complaints, so you did very very well!

It was a pleasure to work with Didier. Mr. & Mrs. Ring were new clients who contacted me only two weeks before their trip. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to coordinate all facets of their trip in such a short time.

Dear Didier, You did such a great job with the Stenhouse family last July - I am still hearing about their day in Paris - in fact their holiday card pictured the entire family in front of Notre Dame. Your wonderful services were very much appreciated. BEST REGARDS, Sue

Dear Andre, To put it in a few words...FANTASTIC WONDERFUL EXCEEDED EXPECTATION. They felt their driver/guide was the very best. They could not have been more pleased. I will be available to tell everyone what a fantastic job was done for our clients by you specifically and by your company.
