Stories from real trips
Groups who travelled to France with us
With my own limited time and the situation in Paris not being good, I couldn't travel much. Both Khun Suree and Khun Kik took very good care of me. If anyone is going on a tour, I will recommend Rin.
A family tour for 5 people. Rin arranged the itinerary exactly as we wanted, and we had a Czech van driver, Jan, who came with his wife Andrea as the assistant coordinator.
The competitive shooting team has travelled with See You Again 3 times already, and this time entrusted See You Again to arrange a private tour in France for them.
