"Sabine Leteinturier (above) is a first class guide, a gifted teacher, and genuinely wonderful person. Let me put it simply: touring France is fun — touring France with Sabine is extraordinary."
— Ben in Menlo Park, CA
"I feel very fortunate to have had Serge Bernhard for a tour guide. He encouraged us to do whatever we needed to do to make it our own experience. For example, my husband and children took off one day to catch up with the Tour de France and to see Lance Armstrong. Serge totally encouraged and supported them. Our experience with another tour guide (from another company) was that they couldn't deal with deviation from the schedule for fear of losing control. I also appreciated his interactions with my children. He was always considerate and helpful."
