Dear Andre,
I wanted to pass along the wonderful praise I received about Rose, the Hogan's guide.
Thank you again for your assistance with this booking.
Best Regards, Lisa
“Lisa,
Our trip was great. The hotel in Paris was good value for the money. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the lobby lounge comfortable and attractive. The rooms were a bit small and basic but comfortable beds and the availability of the lobby lounges made up fit he room size.
The Chateau in Bessiion was fantastic Highly recommended I would go back there in a flash. It has an outdoor heated swimming pool, beautiful grounds and rooms, Good food and also a friendly and helpful staff.
The real highlight of the trip was Rose, our guide. She was terrific. Friendly, good sense of humor and extremely knowledgable about the entire region. Planned the Normandy beaches tours so then we ended up at the American Cemetery with time to visit and witness the lowering of the flag complete with a 21 gun salute and the playing of taps while looking over 9,000+ graves and Omaha Beach, Very moving and not to be forgotten. My wife and I highly recommend her.
Best Regards,
David”
