What our clients are saying

  • I wanted to let you know that Fredric was absolutely amazing as our driver-guide on our full day tour to Versailles! His knowledge, patience, warmth and enthusiasm is exceptional. My wife Susan was in a a wheelchair and he insisted on pushing her over the grounds. He absolutely went above and beyond. We have traveled extensively and he is absolutely one of the very best. I also wanted you to know that Elisa, our driver-guide in Normandy, was also incredible! She took the time and effort to make sure that our two days of sightseeing were well spent. She is so smart and intelligent and we learned so much. She is another “keeper”. Many thanks.

  • I wanted to say a huge thank-you for the service you provided to my client who travelled through Corsica and Paris. The tours were very informative and what he appreciated most was you calling him before to confirm and afterwards to ensure he happy with what he received. The guides were professional and interesting. The side-car tour of Paris that he surprised his family with was highlight of their trip. Thank you. I will definitely be using Destination Artisians again.

  • I heard from my clients and they said they had a wonderful time! Mrs Whitby said they couldn't fault a single thing with the experience and it was worth every cent so thank you for looking after them so well. It was their first trip since Mr Whitby's accident so they were concerned about how they would go but they are now full of confidence and already thinking about the next one. They concede they will need support moving forward so thank you for upgrading my clients from "we can do that" to the benefit of a quality DMC. Thanks again for your help with this and I am sure you will hear from us again.

  • I’d like to share Mr & Mrs Lovell’s feedback with you. EXCELLENT, was their comment. They said it was the most wonderful day. I know it was only something small and we appreciate making this happen for them at such short notice. Look forward to working with you again in the future.

  • Thank you Norma, the tour was great today!! Our guide Jean had not had any previous requests for the place visited today so he had researched it thoroughly. He came so very well prepared with iPad photos from the war and the areas we visited. I can’t give Jean enough praise. He was amazing! Thank you so much Norma!!

  • Norma greeted us in the lobby of our hotel with a cheerful smile and a bottle of champagne and all of the necessary documents that we needed for our time in Paris. Our dinner at Lido was a great way to begin our Parisian adventure. They did a great job with Bryan’s birthday and our seating. Linda our guide was FANTASTIC! We loved her energy, humor, helpfulness, and determination to scoot us along. She was very knowledgeable and told us memorable items that will last a lifetime. Our tour of the Louis Vuitton Foundation before opening was simply awesome! As was our dinner at the Jules Verne was one of the best times ever! I can not say enough about the experiences that Norma and Destination Artisans arranged for us. We were very aware that not many people get to partake in the exceptional experiences we had. The VIP behind the scenes tour of Versailles was OUTSTANDING! There are not enough superlatives to assign this trip!

    Leah Ludice from Trova Travel Group 

  • I spoke to the client yesterday and wanted to share our conversation. She said “This was the best week of my life.” They loved everything and said the trip went like clockwork. She thought La Cheneviere was wonderful and the dinner excellent. Of course, they were thrilled with Le Bristol in Paris. The guides and drivers were great and being in Normandy for D-Day was an added touch! Thank you for planning this!

  • This email is to thank you for the work you did. We had a fabulous time. Please extend my appreciation to Norma at Destination Artisans as well, for I know she played a significant role. Everything was quite perfect. We were so very impressed with the drivers and guides we had, and the hotels were great as well. On our last night in Rome, we returned to the Regina Hotel Baglioni. They welcomed us with a great surprise: a complimentary upgrade to the Penthouse Suite!! For this, my additional and eternal thanks are coming your way. It was a fantastic way to end our trip and we felt like royalty!

    Kathleen Sheridan from Altour in Fair Lawn, New Jersey

  • I have just had a meeting with the clients, now that they are over the tough jet lag. The itinerary, guide and hotels you arranged for them in the Loire Valley, Brittany, Normandy and Paris were perfect. They could not have been happier. They enjoyed that region of France and would love to return. The Australian guide in Normandy they enjoyed particularly, and all got along very well. Thank you for everything, and I hope they get the chance to return to France. We will certainly use your services again.

    Dianne Russo from Travel & Cruising Expert in Robina, Queensland

  • Everything has been divine. And we especially enjoyed meeting Norma, who truly has everything wired. Her drivers & tours were very professional & entertaining – a true find!

  • My clients just returned from France and had a WONDERFUL time. Thank you so much for making “the trip of a lifetime!”. They LOVED all of their guides and felt that each of them went above and beyond. They were very impressed. The guide in Normandy was great and had a passion for WWII history, which they loved. He was a very lively character which they thoroughly enjoyed. He went above and beyond and spent time over the 8 hours with them on one of their tour days. So thank you again for your assistance. I very much appreciate the attention to detail and personal care that they received.

  • Our clients are back home. Your guides were OUTSTANDING!!! As you know, they expected a lot, but they were so pleased. Great job!! Until next time.

    Heinke McDade from McDade Travel in Roanoke, Virginia

  • The clients loved you!!!! Here is what they had to say: “I just wanted to let you know that we had a spectacular trip. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. By the way, the tour guides were impeccable, especially Catherine. They were always early for our excursions, and they were helpful and congenial. Catherine took us to Eze, Villefranche, St. Paul De Vence, Antibes, a winery tour, the old town in Nice and just was very knowledgeable and fun. We all really liked her. Not that we didn’t like the others, we just spent more time with Catherine.”

  • Have a look at the client’s feedback! Now that I’m slowly getting back to life in Dallas I wanted to stop and say THANKS for a great trip to France! We had such a wonderful time. The hotels were awesome and the places we visited were fantastic! The tour guide was also awesome. Thanks again for all you did to make this trip so special and a memory we will carry with us forever!

  • Hi Norma, I just wanted to get back to you to tell you how absolutely wonderful my client's trip was. Mrs Kraft said that "Everything about it, our drivers and guides were all fantastic. The restaurant, Suite Giraffe was fabulous, could not have been better for a birthday dinner. We had some really neat experiences whilst in Paris. Our guides were top-notch. Our Louvre guide especially was incredibly smart and a wonderful woman. I would have loved to spend six hours with her in the Louvre! She was a treat. My daughter and granddaughter were just blown away by her. All the other guides were equally as good. So thank you, thank you, thank you. We had a wonderful time. All went really well and thank you again”.

  • The recommendation of Norma Keshishian from Destination Artisans as a personal travel arranger was the perfect combination to follow our barge trip. Thank you for her expertise and help!

  • Our guide Solene was FANTASTIC…. Notre Dame Cathedral was amazing and we had zero problems getting in. Lots of people but very efficient. But we give all the credit to Solene!

  • I just wanted to tell you what a fabulous time we had in France. Everything has been amazing. The hotels were first class and our guides and drivers have been very warm and friendly making us feel very welcomed. Our stay at the Hotel Riviera was the icing on the cake and we were given the corner room on the front with ocean views from all our windows. Amazing !!!!!
