FROM J.F (California)
"On previous European vacations… I utilized the services of a tour group. Getting crammed onto a bus and shuttled from place to place with different guides with varying degrees of English comprehension does get frustrating. However, there is hope in the guided tour industry and her name is Wendy Jaeger. My wife and I utilized Wendy’s services for our honeymoon to the south of France and our experience can only be described as remarkable. The personalized itinerary, the culinary smorgasbord, and most importantly, connecting with French culture in such an intimate way. With Wendy as your guide, you tour some of the most breathtaking sites in the region without the regimented style of a tour group. Her familiarity with your location also holds another benefit, meeting the locals. It was great being able to converse with the people because it creates a bond with these places you cannot get with a tour group. Without a doubt this is how I will be vacationing in the future."

"I can’t thank you enough for all you did to create this amazing trip for us. It was the perfect combination of beach, city and countryside…..I will spread the word of Bliss Travels to everyone!"

FROM S. H (11 years old)
"Thank you so much for arranging our wonderful trip to France. I had so much fun and learned about so many amazing things. This was a very special vacation and it was my first time out of the country. Surprisingly, even though I thought [Provence] was going to be my least favorite place, it turned out to be my absolute favorite. Although I might have enjoyed Paris the most if you had been there to help us find all the right places to visit and all the right things to do…..Going on the trip inspired me to learn the French language….I really want to go back next year and hopefully be able to speak a little bit of the language."

FROM J.D.
"My time in the south of France was great, but nothing made me feel more connected to the people and the food than when I was allowed to look upon a French kitchen in action….Also the advice and guidance I was given by these two chefs and the restaurant’s owner will always be held close to me when I go off into the culinary world…..This experience in the kitchen of a real French restaurant will always be close to me as one of the most enlightening moments of my culinary career and if I was ever given the chance to go back to France and watch the action of this kitchen again I would take it in a heartbeat."

FROM L.H and R.P. (2007)
"Bliss Travels…. provided customized itineraries and travel services for us when we went to Paris, France, which was a combination of business and pleasure….We wanted to make the most of our free time. [Wendy] provided us with outstanding recommendations for meals that were tailored to our preferences….. [She] was familiar with the menus and the chef’s culinary style for each of the recommended restaurants in Paris. In addition, she made the reservations for us (in French), which was helpful, as we do not speak French, as well as providing a personal connection with some of the chef’s…[S}he provided customized maps designing pedestrian tours (our preference) in the various areas of Paris that could be enjoyed during our limited time. She arranged for museum passes so we could optimize our sight seeing time and not wait in lines with all the other tourists….she even calculated and mapped personalized 6-10 mile runs for us from our hotel…. I highly recommend the travel services. Wendy is an intelligent, energetic, and highly organized travel source with services that are tailored to the needs of her clients. When you combine her 30 year record of traveling to this region, with her culinary expertise, Bliss Travels provides a meaningful travel experience for all types of clients interested in European holidays. "

FROM M.M (Princeton)
"….Wendy proved to be an extraordinary leader…. Her in depth knowledge of local talents, culture, heritage, and regional foods afforded unique opportunities….
It is apparent that the relationships that Wendy has with the many providers in the Luberon region, the result of rekindling and revisiting over decades, are an uncommon resource. The depth of her knowledge and familiarity with the customs and culture, coupled with thoughtful planning was integral to the success of this adventure."
