Testimonials

Traveling to France with Pam is a once in a lifetime opportunity... No one person I know understands the city they way she does-you get to experience Paris as a Parisian, walking and taking the metro everywhere you need to be. She plans the day according to the neighborhood you'll be visiting, whether it's the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe or the Louvre or the Yves St Laurent museum. She finds distinct, out of the way spots for lunch and dinner. A cooking class, a trip to the ballet ,or outdoor market, and... shopping galore. She shares her knowledge as a teacher would, making sure the entire group understands the importance and significance of what you're experiencing. The trip is breathtaking, awe-inspiring, and unforgettable. You get home and realize that you got to experience the true energy of Paris, not like any tour you have taken or will ever take again. That's why I've travelled with her twice!
