In September 2024, Helen reached out to plan the ultimate girls’ trip to France, and was matched with Michaela to help bring her vision to life. Michaela worked closely with Helen throughout the process, carefully adjusting itineraries to make sure the trip suited the desires and needs of all the women. The result? A week full of unforgettable experiences, from exploring the iconic sights of Paris to indulging in the best food and wine Bordeaux had to offer. The women traveled at the start of this year, and here’s what they had to say about their amazing adventure.

Helen O’Dwyer
How would you rate your trip?
Who was your travel expert?
Michaela
How were your accommodations?
Great – From the special gift upon arrival (so generous and so thoughtful to include a special birthday wish!) to the professional staff, perfect and safe location and beautiful comfort of the hotel. It was all exceptional
Did everything go smoothly with your transportation?
Yes – The peace of mind of knowing that professionals that are so good at what they do had taken the time to plan all the details so we didn’t have to, and therefore didn’t have to worry and could just sit back and enjoy!
What tours, attractions, or activities did you particularly enjoy?
ALL OF IT!! The tours in Paris (the Montmartre food tour) the wine tasting, the bus and cruise, and then the St. Emilion day trip and the Champagne experience, all exceptional!
What was your favorite part of the trip?
So tough to pick, I loved it all! However, I love Paris and have been there, so adding in the trip to Bordeaux and St. Emilion as well as Champagne just made this extra special. The tour at Mercier was quite memorable!
Would you travel with us again?
Yes!
How can we improve for next time?
I can’t think of any way to improve, you are just wonderful! We can’t wait to plan the next trip with you!
