“My mother-daughter sojourn in Paris was a life changing event.”

“The tour exceeded our expectations. We weren’t just pleased overall, we think it was the best vacation we’ve had. If one of Sojourner’s goals is to whet our appetite for more travel and exploration, you’ve delivered to a very high mark in our case. We look very much forward to more adventures.

I enjoyed the work you have put into the quality of your business - the web site, the thoroughness of your research into the area, the effort you expended to ensure the hotel would be top-notch. We never felt as though we were lacking timely information.

Thank you again for guiding us on a terrific vacation!”

“Unforgettable!”

“My favorite part of visiting Paris was the 104 [a public hiphop culture center in the trendy Canal Ourcq area]! And you guys giving us such a personal and true experience of Paris. The mix of tourist-top-ten and small “unknown” places.”

“It is not often that all my expectaions are met and you should be proud of the company you’ve created. The care, thought and planning are obvious.

All activities are well thought out and super enjoyable. Learned a lot!

Dinners at home were wonderful. Love the tours of the “most beautiful villages” —but my favorite activity? —the spontaneous stop at the castle where the family was selling honey —it was so unexpected.”

“This was, by far, the best trip I’ve ever had, far exceeding my expectations!

Lisa, our guide, was fabulous! Her knowledge of the people, the country and the history of each village/town is outstanding. She is so animated when telling a story, you can’t help but smile and eagerly await her next story! Each village was unique in it’s own way, experiencing France as the French do, traveling to unique villages, some dating back to the medieval period, one with a population less than 90 people. To be able to unpack once, stay in a lovely villa for the week, have French style breakfasts and dinners each day, and have someone who is familiar with the roads driving you from one village to the next, while being your tour guide, is wonderful. I’ve been on bus tours, had a private driver and have rented a car when traveling to Europe, and Sojourner Tours surpassed them all! I’m already planning my next tour with your company! Thank you Lisa for an incredible vacation!”

“The guides were great. This trip more than lived up to my expectations. Everything was my favorite part of the tour: I can’t chose one thing because the whole experience was so enticing and fun. I especially enjoyed going to the market where each of us had an assignment to buy something for our picnic. ”

“Look up Sojourner Tours before you consider using a bus tour or a riverboat cruise (I’ve used both) for your next vacation. I’ve been traveling Europe for 30 years and my most enjoyable trip was with our guide Lisa this summer in Provence.

Lisa met our small group in Avignon, drove us to a beautiful Villa and escorted us for 6 days to unique small towns throughout Provence. Each day was a fascinating adventure to everyday places not overrun by tourists! Lisa, having lived in France, was abound with interesting anecdotes about each place we visited.

Every evening she presented a delicious “French” dinner after traditional aperitifs. I could go on and on about our sojourn through Provence, but suffice to say I will use Sojourner Tours for my future trips.

Thank you Lisa, our joyful host and guide, for this pleasurable adventure! ”

“The guides were very ethical, knowledgeable, professional, caring, lovely experts. My favorite parts of my sojourn were the castles and art places, the hikes, also I can say Lisa and Francis our hosts and guides —the heart and brain of this tour.”

“Hiking in Provence was a whole nother level from what we do in Texas! ”

“ I really had a great time —all of it. I can’t choose just one favorite activity. The best one for me was the wine tour!!! And cheese factory!”

“I liked that everything was really well organized and the itinerary never changed (except to make it better and more luxurious). A wonderful trip was advertised and offered just as advertised.”

“[I recently spoke with a fellow traveler from the first tour Lisa and Francis organized in 2002,] she fondly recalled going to France and the travel we all did together. It was a short moment in time, but it was impactful and memorable for us all.

Anyway, as I write this, it reminds me how the beautiful tours you put together are memories people will cherish. A lot of thought goes into your planning, and it is well worth it.”

“We had a stellar experience with you.
Many, many thanks for organizing such a thrilling day!”

“Truly you both did a beautiful job of giving us more than our money’s worth. It was a day that was priceless. I hope there are many more tours with the two of you in our future.”
