AFTER TRIP REVIEW
“My family and I took a vacation to the south of France this summer and had a fantastic experience. Before leaving the US, we asked our hotel for assistance planning local adventures, and they recommended we contact Noé at Follow My Zen. We are so glad we did! Noé not only made our trip logistically easier, he also created an amazing itinerary for us, full of local experiences that we never would have known to arrange on our own.
Noé picked our jet-lagged group up directly from the train station after 36 hours of travel, and we all felt an immediate sense of relief and relaxation. Follow My Zen takes a highly personal approach – when we all slept past our alarms on the first day and were very late, Noé handled making last minute adjustments to our activities and treated us with a lot of empathy. Throughout our excursions, if an unexpected opportunity presented itself, or if we had to adapt to an immediate need, Noé was there to help us make anything happen. And the activities Noé arranged for us were awesome – very local, and incredibly special. He has bridged relationships with a large set of kind, talented, knowledgeable people who welcomed us and treated us like dear friends as they shared with us their local cultures.
Noé planned activities for us in Montpellier, Marseille, and the countryside and coast in between. He also provided all the transportation in a very comfortable Mercedes van that accommodated all of us. Traveling with young children is difficult, but Follow My Zen made it as easy as could be, and my kids still talk about Noé like he’s a family member. My mother, in her 70s, was also a part of our travel squad. In fact, we celebrated her birthday in France. Noé’s ability to take care of everyone in our group, from the little ones to the big ones, is an impressive and special quality.
We have so many fond memories of our time in France this summer, the experiences we had, and the amazing local people we met. We are very grateful to Noé and his company, Follow My Zen, for all they did for us. We have already been talking about returning next year to have Noé show us Barcelona and then explore Montpellier and the south of France more. Highly recommend Follow My Zen if you’re traveling to the south of France.”
