Hi Margot!
"I wanted to send you a note to tell you that my client, Scott Holley, had such a wonderful experience. Thank you so very much! His guide in Lyon knew the Maitre D at Paul Bocuse and arranged for them to receive special treatment included Mr. Bocuse asking to take a photo with them. I appreciate your help so very much!!!"

Hi,
"I just wanted to pass on my clients comments after their market/cooking class in Paris recently: 'Hi Michelle, thank you so much for helping us set up such a wonderful trip. Everything went smoothly and was perfect. We LOVED the cooking class I would HIGHLY recommend him and the class. Getting flowers and champagne in Cannes was a special treat, thank you!!'"

Hi Florent,
"Just wanted to send you a quick note, and let you know how wonderful the arrangements you made for us in Paris turned out! The market tour with Rebekah was so much fun, even though we had the rain that morning, I really enjoyed it and she was fabulous! She took us to the amazing chocolate shop as well, and that was very cool. Since I am a total cook and foodie, this was a perfect experience for me. I so wish we had this type of market locally. Our walking tour with Francoise was great, and we loved all the “behind the scences” areas of Paris she took us, and we even got to experience the Metro! I don’t think I have walked that much in one day, in a very long time. Well worth it, however. She was an amazing guide. Also, my clients that I booked with you, Mr. and Mrs. Bertsch, who were there just prior to myself, came in the office this past Friday, and had RAVE reviews for their guide and the tours. They really now understand the value of the private guide and driver, thanks to your wonderful professional services! This was one of the highlights of their trip, for sure! Thanks again, and we look forward to sending additional business your way, and a continued strong working relationship. Look forward to seeing you again in the near future."

Hello Margot,
"My client, Arthur Hawn has just returned from his Paris trip you helped me organize. He had a wonderful time & was so very happy with all the arrangements. The drivers & his guide, Paul were outstanding. Paul got a wheel chair & escorted him all through the Louvre as well as other attractions so he didn’t have to walk so much. He was amazed that Paul was able to bypass all the lines & get him in to the sites without long waiting times. He loved the organ concert & could not believe all things he was able to see. You made a dream of a lifetime come true for him. He came home very tired but so very happy with his adventure. Thank you so much. I am so happy Laurie gave me your information. I hope I have the pleasure to work with you again."

"I wanted you to know how happy my clients Lockwood were with their guide and trip to Normandy. The jeep tour was a highlight, and that was your suggestion, so thank you very much for your good help! To let you know, they loved the Hotel Powers in Paris, should you ever need a boutique hotel suggestion. Again, please accept my thanks, and have a happy day!"

Hello Chocolatine,
"The following is a copy of the email to me from the clients. Thank you so much for making my clients happy. They have a request which you can help us with: 'Hi Marti, We're home and getting back to normal. The trip was wonderful in all respects; i.e. airport connections, hotel pickups, access to sites, and especially the erudition of and historical/architectural explanations provided by our two guides Cecile ( spelling? ) in Lourdes and Francoise in Paris. Please feedback to Chocolatine and the guides themselves our thanks and highest praise to both for making our visits to the various sites so enjoyable and informative.' "

Dear Margot & Florent,
"I just had the chance to speak with my clients, Jessica and Alex, following their honeymoon in Paris. They told me the highlight of their trip was the Tours. They raved about the guide you had provided them, and they said in retrospect, they wished they had done more tours because of the way she was and how knowledgeable she was. Thank you so much for providing a true Virtuoso experience for my clients. They really enjoyed their time with Chocolatine and their next time in Paris will be booked with you again. Thank you!"

Dear Margot & Florent,
"I am so sorry for my delayed email to you! I wanted to say thank you for taking such excellent care of the Dilworths. They can't stop talking about how incredible their trip was because of you. "Phenomenal" and "exceptional" are just a couple words they used to describe your guides and the experiences you created for their family. The day trip to Champagne was apparently the most perfect day and is now a lifelong memory. I hope you realize what a big difference this makes for a family that rarely has time to see each other, much less take a trip to Paris together!"

Hi Florent,
"My clients are having a wonderful time - theire tour guide, Vincent has been great. She would like to give him a tip and has asked me the 'proper' amount. I know this is a personal and optional guesture but perhaps you could give me some guidance? Is there some sort of 'formula' or standard why to calculate?"

Hi Florent,
"I am sorry it’s taken me so long to write and let you know that my group thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Versailles. We did have a mishap when a piece of the bus came down and struck one of my clients. Fortunately, he was not badly hurt but did have a bump on his head. Except for that, everything was great. The guide did a great job even with the big crowd. Again, thanks for all your help. I did let Jonette, our manager, know what a great time we all had."

Bon Soir mon ami!
"So my clients loved everything about their Chocolatine tour. The driver was wonderful, he lunched with them and was delightful, they spent too much time at the museum, the guide was also fantastic, They wanted to stay longer but the driver had to transfer someone from CDG back to the Rennes area and was also going to have dinner with his daughter in Paris. But otherwise he would have stayed longer with them. So you put together a wonderful itinerary and I say a very big MERCI J! A bientot and give my baby a squeeze J"

Hi,
"Hotel L'Aubusson could NOT be more perfect for our needs!!!!! Thank you again. And our tour to Versailles was totally worth it with Chocolatine. There was a horrendous 3 hour line and we walked right in, zero wait. Our tour guide, Geraldine, was absolutely fantastic and so, so knowledgeable. Money well spent."
