"All parties have returned very happy with all of their experiences. Our client Shirley.D spent 20 minutes giving me great detail on how lovely everything was. She said Magali, her tour guide in Normandy was ‘magnificent, phenomenal, etc.’. Thank you so much for making everything right and crafting an exceptional experience."
Travel Agency NY"Thank you for arranging a terrific tour, during what was a very busy time. Our guide, Aurélie, was excellent, knowledgeable, a good navigator. She receives our highest rating. Please pass along our appreciation. Regards, Steve.D"
Steve.D"A giant thank you for your assistance with the motor coach on DDay. The vehicle, driver and escort were amazing and greatly appreciated. Our day would have been entirely different without them. THANK YOU."
Travel Agency France"Our trip was wonderful, like a graduate history course in WWII ! Gwenael was a wonderful guide. Everything taken care of in a most gracious and professional manner."
Travel Agency Miami"We were three couples on a cruise ship who wanted a private, two day tour in the comfort of a large van with an English speaking guide. We got waaaaay more than we hoped for. Our driver/guide, Yolande, made our experience absolutely fabulous. Her knowledge of the area and history was excellent and her ability to relate this information was so interesting and so much fun. She is a delightful gal. We all felt we had one of our girlfriends with us. She met us at our ship and planned the entire two days based on what we thought we wanted to see. She wisely advised us to what was worth seeing and what took too much time. We couldn’t have been happier with what she gave us. The COO of the company, Ingrid Gillette, was wonderful to deal with and very responsive to all our emails. I would recommend Label West Tours over and over again. They truly want you to enjoy their France."
