Due to a health issue, I was unable to travel through the French Riviera, which was a disappointment, to say the least. There was the added factor that I chose not to purchase trip insurance, so my two sons had the good fortune to enjoy the south of France in my place.

While planning with Liz, I was clear that I did want to visit the tourist spots, and she was so helpful in accommodating my wishes. My questions or concerns always received an immediate response. My two sons raved about the hotel, which was centrally located in Nice. Apparently, the pre-arranged tours that Liz had recommended were fabulous, but there was also time for self-exploration; the tour guides were warm and knowledgeable; transportation (including to/from the airport) was comfortable and easy (as it had been arranged for me--a woman of certain years with a very difficult knee), and the overall experience was magical.

I am sorry that I was unable to travel through the French Riviera, but there was a joy in seeing it through the eyes of my two sons. Kimkim did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend Liz and Diliana.

Dear Nancy,

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. While reading your review brought a smile to my face, it also reminded me how disappointed I was that you were unable to experience the French Riviera yourself after all the planning we did together.

It was truly a pleasure working with you. From our very first conversations, I could feel your excitement about this special journey, and I was honored to help bring your bucket-list trip to life. Although it was not the outcome any of us had hoped for, I am so grateful that your sons were able to enjoy the experience and see the beauty of the Riviera on your behalf. Hearing that they loved the hotel, tours, guides, and overall experience means the world to me.

Most of all, I appreciated getting to know you throughout the planning process. Your enthusiasm, warmth, and trust made you an absolute joy to work with, and I sincerely hope that your health has improved and that future travels are still ahead of you.

Thank you again for your thoughtful recommendation and for allowing me to be a small part of such a meaningful trip. It was a privilege to help create it for you and your family.

With warmest wishes,

Liz
