My sister
and I took a one-day minivan excursion to Normandy on August
26, 2006. Our guide was Lionel Rochmann. I have taken many
tours in many places over many years. Mr. Rochmann made a
powerful experience more powerful, with his knowledge, his
strong opinions and his humor.
My sister
and I enjoyed him so much and were grateful to have him that
day. Upon future trips to Paris, we shall see what other
trips you have to offer. If we're lucky, we'll have Mr.
Rochmann for a guide again or, perhaps, someone equally
interesting. Bonne journee a tous!
This is just a note to thank all of you at paris- trip.com
and especially out tourguide Lionel for the 2 wonderful
trips we had with you. We took the Loire Valley and Normandy
D-Day trips. Lionel helped us alot with our questions and
was very professional in every way.
Because
of this, we will recommend this service to all our friends
in Paris and in the states. It was a pleasure to do business
with you and I look forward to using your services again in
the future. Thanks again; Joe Golub
Thanks so much for such a good tour! Our trip was so lovely,
informative and we enjoyed our driver/guide very much. He
was superb. I felt very much like I was there in 1944 or
maybe I was in the middle of a virtual warzone overwhelmed
by all the odds against the Allied troops.
How brave
all of your countrymen were and the countries who came to
your aid! Our driver/guide was thorough and interesting,
besides very delightful company. Thanks so very much for a
wonderful addition to an already superb visit to your
beautiful country. It was worth the time and money we spent.
Sincerely, Rob and Colleen Callicotte
On Thursday, September 26th, my family took your
Normandy/D-day tour. We returned home to the United States
early this morning and the first thing I want to do is to
give you our comments on this wonderful tour. Of the ten
days that we spent in Europe, this tour was the highlight of
our trip! Specifically, I wanted to tell you of our
experiences with Thierry (I hope I spelled that correctly),
our guide for the day.
He is the
perfect tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, interesting
and knowledgeable about the sights that he took us to see.
We travelled with our two daughters, Claire (age 8) and
Annie (age 5). It was a very long day for them, and yet
Thierry made us all feel comfortable and relaxed.
My
daughters adored him! You should know that he went above and
beyond the call of duty when, after I realized that I had
run out of film at Pointe Du Hoc, he took us to a little
store where we could purchase more film, and then took us
back to Pointe Du Hoc so that we could take pictures!!
In the
United States, this kind of service is unheard of, and it
meant so much to us that he did this for us. His knowledge
of the history of the sights he took us to see is
astounding! My husband and I are very knowledgeable about
history, and yet he taught us so many interesting things
that we did not know.
Finally,
as I previously mentioned, he was so friendly and such a
very nice man to spend a day with. At the end of the tour,
we felt as though we had not only had a wonderful day, but
also made a new friend. He gave each of my daughters a big
hug which was incredibly sweet of him and made them feel
very special!
We
thanked Thierry over and over again, but if you could give
him this e-mail (unfortunately, I do not know how to contact
him directly), and convey our thanks one last time, we would
greatly appreciate it! We saw so many incredible sights
during our ten days in France and Belgium, but because of
Thierry, our tour with your company was the best day that we
had.
Also,
please let him know that if he ever does decide to come to
America, he has friends in Pennsylvania who would be happy
to welcome him and his family! Thank you also, Bian, for all
of your help in the planning of the tour. I have nothing but
great things to say about your tour company, and we hope to
come back to France next year and book another tour with
you! Sincerely, Cheryl, Brett, Claire and Annie Bleiler
Thank you for two great day trips, Your service is the best
- your drivers are the best. We would (with dought)use your
