Make Your Next Trip Extraordinary

We​ took three of our grandchildren (ages 12, 13 and 13) to Paris 6.14-20. The trip was wonderful. The dates were selected because it was the only week between the end of school and the start of camp for the kids. Paris was a little hotter than perfect touring weather, but we had no choice. We chose Jennifer as out travel planner because she had been fabulous for our trip to London and our 20-person family trip to Italy. I wish we could use her for more countries! The only negative was one of the rooms at the Hotel Regina: the kids’ Junior Suite was fine and very spacious, but my wife and my adjoining “Deluxe” room was tiny and had virtually no closet or drawer space. After having to move 3 times on our Italy trip, I looked forward to unpacking for the 5 nights at the Regina. But the lack of drawers meant we lived out of our suitcases.

We had one unusual experience—when we met our guide for our private Treasure Hunt visit to the Louvre on 6/16, we saw from the crowds that the Louvre had not yet opened. Turns out there was a wildcat strike that kept it closed all day. Jennifer and her team were wonderful as usual in rescheduling other activities so we were able to do the Louvre on Thursday.

The kids loved the VIP Tour with a Disney Guide at Disneyland Paris. They were able to do all their favorites multiple times—worth every penny.

Jennifer and her team came through time and again as we changed our minds about restaurants and rescheduling the Louvre. We were fortunate to get to see her in person for lunch (we also met her in March in Florence—is she stalking us?). We also got to meet Brook, whose many columns in your emails are must-read for me. To our surprise, they treated us!

I wanted to add one other observation that may be helpful to other travelers. I booked our flights on French Bee out of Newark (about 40 minutes further from us than PHL). My wife, a nervous flyer, was against using an airline she hadn’t heard of. But the flights, even with lie-back seats to Paris, cost less for the 5 of us than one business class ticket on United or American. When all the issues about Newark arose a few months ago, she wanted to cancel and re-book. I assured her Newark would be ok by June. Well, French Bee is now my wife’s favorite airline. Both flights left right on time and arrived 30 minutes early. All cabin attendants were friendly and first rate. Meals in the upgraded class were very good. In short I highly recommend that anyone flying to Paris from within a couple of hour of Newark should fly on French Bee.

My wife and I just completed a wonderful two-week trip to Paris and Provence organized by Jennifer and her team. As we’ve come to expect from travel advisors on Wendy’s WOW List, overall execution was superb. The itinerary contained just the right mix of “first time in Provence” experiences and out-of-the-ordinary experiences in Paris, where we have previously visited. Likely not coincidentally, at each property at which we were booked, our accommodations were either upgraded or at the least the best in their category. Drivers and driver-guides were uniformly professional and excellent. Importantly, we were looked after constantly, receiving daily previews of our next day’s itinerary, and given access to 24-hour on-the-ground text and phone assistance, which we used more than once and always got prompt responses to. A special shout out to Antoine in this regard. If you are looking for a luxurious trip, you can’t go wrong using this team.

Jennifer’s team​ was absolutely outstanding from start to finish! This was a graduation gift for my 18-year-old daughter to France. The team suggested amazing locations and events then helped tailor them according to our feedback. But when we really saw the service was when we were delayed a day and they completely rearranged our schedule seamlessly. We then had formal updates each day with continuous communication throughout the day. Well worth it!! I’ll definitely use them again and suggest them to friends heading to that area!!

The trip was amazing!!! Girls’ trip celebrating 2 high school graduates and lifelong friendship. Jennifer was so accommodating to the whims of teenage girls not wanting to be overbooked but wanting to have an amazing experience. The apartment was the perfect size, location for walking and metros, and best yet, had daily service and air conditioning. Definitely would pay for the airport greeters everyday all day. Charles de Gaulle is a challenging airport made simple with this service.
We found that Jennifer was able to find guides/experiences that we could not replicate when we wanted help with language barriers or something less touristy. She had recommended a motorcycle tour on our day of arrival that I didn’t think was necessary, but decided to add as a way to get the girls out of our hair while setting up the apartment. As the week went on they could not stop talking about how much of the city they saw and how awesome the drivers were. Riad with the St Ouen Market, and Miriam the personal shopper also made what could be overwhelming a super unique amazing adventure. The ability to text and get support while there was game changing.

They even secured last minute tickets with amazing seats to Paradis Latin show when the girls decided they did in fact want to do a show after declining multiple times in the lead up. Our last night we did a dinner cruise on the Seine and I had heard those were not worth your time….wrong. The way Jennifer and her team did it, it was an incredible au revoir to the city. Totally worth every penny. We will be booking with them again!
