French Touch Travel Reviews 

My friend and I worked with this fabulous agency for our trip earlier this month to France. We spent 16 days in Paris, the Loire Valley, Burgundy and Lyon. They by and far exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with in advance and tailored our trip to meet our needs, providing options for us along their recommendations for our free time and for dining. We had an online itinerary so it was easy to use and they stayed in touch throughout our journey. Olivia was our primary contact and she was a delight to work with! I have told everyone I have spoken with about our experience, and I hope they get lots more business as a result. I would absolutely love to work with them again for future travel!

We had a fantastic trip to Strasbourg, Paris, Bayeux and Amboise! French Touch Travel did an amazing job connecting us with high quality guides and activities. For example, while in Paris, we participated in a gourmet walking tour where we tasted wine, cheeses, breads and sweet treats from the best producers in the city. Our guide taught us how to recognize reputable patisseries and restaurants as she knew these were important to us. She even helped us navigate the Metro! We also enjoyed a picnic at both Versailles and Chateau Du Clos Luce that helped us appreciate the beauty of both estates. In each case we were accompanied by a guide, they were highly informative and had the ability to effectively communicate the history of the region. This made our visits to Reims, The D-day landing beaches, Mont St. Michel, the chateaus of the Loire Valley exceptionally memorable.

Our accommodations were well situated and comfortable. They were close to restaurants, attractions and public transportation. This really helped us enjoy each city. Alexia did a wonderful job planning all the details of the trip and regularly updated the Trip Plans App which helped keep us on track during our itinerary. We would highly recommend French Touch Travel to others who are planning a trip to France!

From the planning to the actual trip, everything was done perfectly! We plan to visit Paris again and will definitely use French Touch Travel!!!!

We started in Nice as a base, then went to Antibes, Avignon and the Luberon area of Provence. Olivia and Keji at French Touch Travel organized excellent guides, drivers and activities every step of the way. We loved the cooking class in Nice and our trip to 3 countries in one day-Monaco, Eze and Ventimiglia. Having the private driver/guide enabled us to cut short visiting the market in Ventimiglia in order to spend more time in Monaco and Eze. We loved our 5 star beach hotel-Cap d’Antibes where we were treated like honored guests. Olivia made many restaurant reservations at places that were special. The hotel in Villenueve des Avignon was , in a word, amazing and a short ride to Avignon . We loved our full day trip in Provence with our guide who was so passionate about the history and charming at the same time. Every guide and driver arrived promptly and were sincerely helpful. I recommend French Touch Travel and would use their services again.

Everything was as advertised - Transfers, tours, hotels. The hotel in Bilbao was excellent, only 2 bocks from the Guggenheim Museum. The tour through the Basque country was excellent. The hotel in Paris was excellent, particularly the location - walking distance to both the Eiffel Tower and Noter Dame Cathedral and two blocks from the Seine.

Excellent communication and attention to detail from start to finish.
Also a very special thank you to Alexia, who from the 1st phone call to the very last day of our wonderful trip, was with us every step of the way.
Many thanks!

From the initial planning conversations with French Touch Travel to the "on-the-ground" needs during the trip, French Touch Travel was top notch. Their model of experts for different parts of the trip resulted in a great trip planning process and outstanding support during the trip. We had a family of 5 kids and a grandparent on the trip, so various needs were involved and everything went smoothly. We had an ABSOLUTE blast in Paris and various spots through the south of France. Thank you French Touch Travel!

The three women we worked with were so competent, knowledgeable and responsive. Between them, they set up an itinerary that worked well for us. We were in the Loire Valley, Paris, and London. They managed all of the details of a trip with many parts.

We wanted to plan a once in a lifetime trip to Europe and French Touch Travel went above and beyond to help us do that! Everyone we worked with listened to our needs and requests and together we created the perfect itinerary for our family, which included something for everyone! We had all of the information we needed to make us feel comfortable and prepared, and we also knew they were there for us if we needed anything during the trip itself. We fit so much into this trip- saw sights we have always wanted to and had unforgettable experiences together as a family! We will treasure these memories forever and we have French Touch Travel to thank for that!

We loved getting a mix of history and culture, along with some family fun and adventure! Some of our highlights included getting to stand in a courtyard to hear Big Ben ring, seeing Buckingham Palace, taking in the views from the Eiffel Tower and the top of the Arc de Triomphe, walking the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, taking a gondola ride in Venice and visiting the rooftops of the Duomo di Milano...but also visiting the Harry Potter Studios, Disneyland Paris, the Lindt Chocolate factory and Jungfraujoch, "The Top of Europe!" It was the perfect balance for our family and there are honestly too many amazing memories to list!

Thank you French Touch Travel for all of your help and support- we loved working with you and we loved our trip!!

We had a truly wonderful trip. Olivia and the team were very responsive. They thought of all sorts of small details (early arrival to busy places, transport, etc) and accounted for us traveling with two children 11 and 14. The excursions they set up for us were perfect. Highlights of the trip were Dinner Cruise on the Seine, Bustronome dinner in London, and Gourmet walking tour in St. Germaine. Would recommend and use again

I cannot say enough good things about French Touch Travel!

I worked for months in advance with Alexia of FTT to plan a vacation for myself and my small family (husband and grandson). I explained to her the kind of vacation I envisioned: a week in Paris followed by a week in Provence, accommodating a thirteen year old boy and his interests. Alexia did a spectacular job! She made suggestions of things we might like to see and do, and I made further suggestions and requests. Together, we developed an incredible itinerary. Then, she made the magic happen.

I can honestly say that I have never had a better vacation (and I have traveled quite a bit!). Alexia arranged drivers to pick us up at our hotels, made all reservations, arranged tickets for all our activities, and chose impeccable guides for all of our private tours.

Let me tell you about our trip. We had a private cooking class in Paris; we rode e-bikes to Versailles; we “solved a mystery” at the Louvre; we had a gourmet food tour of Montmartre; we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower; and we had a sunset dinner cruise an a beautiful boat on the Seine.

After this delightful week in Paris we took the high-speed train to Avignon, where we were met by our guide Sarah who is one of the most delightful people on the planet.

We spent the week with her, as she drove us through the south of France. Sarah showed us Avignon, Gordes, Arles, and Roussillon. She took us on a private tour of a bull ranch in Camargue, followed by lunch at a charming restaurant on the beach. (Our grandson swam in the icy Mediterranean Sea after lunch, and Sarah braved the water up to her knees!). She took us to see the most spectacular villages, to a lavender field (oh, the photos I took!!!), and to a light show of Monet and Rousseau inside an old limestone quarry. All of these things were seamlessly coordinated by Alexia at French Touch Travel.

Without a doubt, the highlight of the trip was having a ride in a hot air balloon to watch the sunrise over the Provençal countryside! I will cherish that day for the rest of my life.

Our hotels were fantastic, as were the restaurants, many of which were recommended by Alexia. We always had assistance available when we needed it via the agency’s app. Alexia kept us informed each day as to arrangements, including flight delays or changes, who would be driving us, and providing online tickets to our planned events. There was a contact person available to help us 24-hours a day online.

Five stars do not seem adequate to describe what was the very best vacation ever.
Thank you, Alexia (and all our guides, drivers, chefs, and balloons pilots.). This was the BEST!

French Touch Travel, particularly Tenley and Alexia, helped us to experience a trip of a lifetime. We worked with FTT to design the perfect tour of Switzerland and France for us that included once in a lifetime experiences like the women’s Euro championship, the Tour de France and being in Paris for Bastille Day. FTT painstakingly worked on details and kept us up to date on progress. During the trip, Alexia was there virtually to help with every issue and make arrangements for us like getting tickets to visit Notre Dame cathedral and help with restaurant reservations. No detail was too small. We have used many travel companies and French Touch Travel is right at the top.

We recently returned from an unforgettable family trip through Italy and France, expertly arranged by French Touch Travel, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

From the very beginning, the team demonstrated exceptional care and attention to detail. Keji took the time to truly understand our goals for the trip, crafting an itinerary that reflected our interests and expectations. Her thoughtful suggestions for accommodations and sites to visit were spot-on, balancing comfort, culture, and convenience.

Olivia was equally outstanding, handling the final arrangements and providing ongoing support throughout our journey. She clearly understood our family’s travel style and helped us experience the best of each destination. When we discovered new experiences we wanted to add mid-trip, Olivia was quick to assist, making seamless arrangements that enhanced our adventure.

We visited Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris, Bayeux, and Normandy, and every stop was enriched by the excellent tours French Touch Travel booked for us. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about their cities. We especially loved our guides in Paris, who led us through a gourmet food tour and provided insightful, memorable experiences at the Louvre and Versailles.

Overall, French Touch Travel delivered a personalized, stress-free, and enriching travel experience. Their friendly service, flexibility, and deep understanding of our needs made this trip truly special. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a European adventure!

Clement, Julie, and the French Touch Travel Staff,

I want to thank you for all of your assistance and guidance throughout my week-long stay in Paris. You and your staff made my stay stress-free and provided that extra layer of comfort and security--especially when I couldn't find my tour meeting place or the way back to the hotel! I really appreciate the patience and professionalism displayed by everyone during my stay in Paris.

I would recommend and already have, in fact, recommended French Touch Travel to others.

Best Regards,
Teresa Unseld

Every detail was considered and our trip was better than we had imagined. The transport, guides, experiences were all top notch. We are seniors and have traveled extensively, and this was one of the best trips of our lives.

French Travel provided a seamless experience incorporating all that we asked and more. Everything from accommodations convenient to all points of interest, skip-the-line tickets, private transfers, and 24 hour availability made for a stress free vacation.

From the moment we reached out to French Touch Travel and started working with Olivia, the entire experience, from planning to our fantastic France trip, was exceptional! We visited Paris, Bayeux, Annecy, Lyon, and Nice over three and a half weeks. The drivers, tour guides, hotels, etc. were amazing! Their electronic app made it so easy to know what our plans were for the day, including maps so we could walk around each city and not get lost! On the app we could text questions or make a last minute change to our itinerary and Olivia and the team immediately responded and updated our itinerary. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We highly recommend French Touch Travel!

Our trip was so special. We went to the places of great artists and art. French Touch Travel, with our input, put together a wonderful experience for us. Guides were knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating and on-time.

We have used multiple travel agents (sourced by Zicasso Global Travel) over the last few years and Olivia (and team) at French Touch Travel is by far the best. Truly white glove planning and service during the trip. I highly recommend using FTT to plan your next trip. It was nice to have a combination of email back and forth and live/virtual meetings during the planning process. She had someone "on call" 24/7 during the trip - even on weekends. We did have occassion during the trip to contact them and each time we got an informed response from someone familiar with our exact itinerary within minutes. The top notch service allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of travel.

We had great assistance in planning our fabulous anniversary trip with French Touch. French Touch also stayed in contact with us throughout our trip in country - and was available to us at all times. We highly recommend French Touch.
