"I had the most wonderful trip to Burgundy with you and Bliss Travels last September. As a former head of the Bordeaux wine society in Washington, DC, but a great lover of Burgundies, I can tell you that all of my expectations were exceeded, from the pre-Burgundy days in Paris , during which I experienced things I had not, despite living in Paris for almost 5 years, to the Burgundy Adventure - including where we stayed, the tours, both of Beaune and the chateaux, the teaching sessions, and the meals (Ah, the meals!) it was the best vacation of its type I had ever taken.

FROM M.M. (Houston - Texas 2011)
"I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to you for arranging such a wonderful trip! I'm back at work now and haven't stopped talking about it all morning! I think you'll be getting a lot of business from Houston once I'm done. We truly had an amazing time and look forward to traveling with you again! (Hopefully soon!!!!!)

FROM T.F (Miami - Florida)
"Thank you both for such a wonderful trip! We definitely did not want to come home (I am still trying to figure out why we did). You are such a great team and the tour was over the top! [We] just wanted to send a Big Thank You for everything!"
FROM K.L (Montclair - New Jersey - Dec. 2011)
"Exploring your dreams and passions, that is what I have been able to do this year with Bliss Travels….Wendy’s contagious enthusiasm for her work got me to take my first trip with her to Provence in May 2011 . SInce then, I have gone back two more times to explore the wine harvest in Burgundy and Christmastime in Paris. I have experienced things that you could only do with someone who has an intimate knowledge of the country, language, social customs, personal friendships and more. A dream come true for me. Each time, I learn more and get excited to return to discover more. If you are looking for an exceptional travel experience, call Wendy and create your personalized French adventure. It will be a trip to remember and always bring a smile to your face."
FROM C.B (Washington D.C. - Feb. 2012)
"We had a wonderful time in Paris; and would not have had half the enjoyment if it was not for you....what we enjoyed the most was your orientation and helping us navigate a new adventure....It took the stress off...As far as we are concerned, no improvement necessary....Your help and preparation was priceless."
FROM H.L. (Philadelphia - April, June 2012)
"Wendy gave me not one but two vacations of a lifetime. The first vacation was so nice I booked a return trip within 60 days…. Her knowledge of the country and culture and attention to my special needs…and ability to deliver made me feel I was always in good hands. It was so nice I did it twice."
FROM T.T, (Washington DC)
"Everything was fantastic…Great accommodations, attentive...a fabulous time.The opportunities to laugh and relax [are] plentiful."
FROM K.L, October 2011 (New York)
"I miss France! What a great trip. I felt so spoiled having you take care of everything. Thank you. Being a person that does like "tours" and having already been through Provence I didn't really expect much - I couldn't have been more wrong!!!"

"I just wanted to let you know that you two went over & beyond my expectations. I also thought that our group was great & we all had a fun time together! It was perfect for what I was looking for!"
J.S, October 2011 (New York)
"Thank YOU both for making this wonderful trip memorable. It's hard for me to
pick out a few things that I loved the most...From the train experiences with food & wine to the welcoming dinners.... and all the breath taking views in Provence; what's not to love! ....
I also loved the photography tips. While I'll admit I was a bit intimidated at first ....I'm an amateur who likes to take photos (like most people)... now at least I can pretend to know what I'm doing....Your enthusiasm and attention to detail together with the terrific group of people has made this trip a warm experience for me. I will most definitely recommend Bliss Travels to others. I might actually do another trip myself…..Thank you for making this trip so terrific!"

"We did have a great time and I honestly don't have anything negative to say at all. We were very happy. I would be happy to be a reference for your trips…."
FROM B.L (Cleveland)
"I had less than 3 months to plan my wedding but…things went smoothly and were well organized. I had excellent communication with Wendy about all the small details which really helped with my wedding jitters. She also did a wonderful job of helping me iron out the kinks of things I hadn’t even thought of.…By the time we got there everything was in place. I really didn’t have much to do (she) took care of everything. All I had to do was enjoy Paris….The experience was irreplaceable. I enjoyed not worrying about anything. I’m pretty Type A and on my wedding day I just relaxed….My father said it was one of the classiest events he had been to….I definitely recommend Bliss. They put their clients interests first. BLISS KNOWS FRANCE!"

"This will change the way I travel forever."
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."
FROM A.O (Princeton)
"[What was special about the trip was] your connections with everyone there and the fact that we were able to experience restaurants, lodging and other activities that would not be available to us
….thanks again for a wonderful trip. [We] had an unforgettable time.
"
FROM C. S (Princeton)
"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."
FROM B.M (Pennington)
"As you know, there were three generations of girls from my family who got to experience this wonderful tour of Provence: my 78 year old mother, my 12 year old daughter, and myself (I’m not telling). Everything was perfect, from the unbelievably delicious and fresh food and the plentiful wine to the beautiful countryside and charming hotels. All of us had the time of our lives and would love to experience another trip with Bliss Travels to any other part of France that you go."
