The French Riviera gets 300 days of sun annually so anytime is a wonderful time to escape! WHY ESCAPE GUIDES? ► Cost-effective: the best restaurants aren't just the one with white tablecloths and the greatest places to stay don't have to have turn-down service. Escape Guides identify hotels, Airbnb's, restaurants, tours that are reasonably priced but don't skimp on quality. These are not a backpackers' or luxury travelers' guide, it's for the rest of us that want to have a amazing trip while spending our money on exactly what matters and nothing that doesn't. ► Time saving: Forget the forums and endless pages of your typical travel guide, Escape Guides identify everything you need for a unique, memorable journey from logistics to daily activities, restaurants and lodging. ESCAPE GUIDE TRAVEL PHILOSOPHY: The journeys that have been the most memorable for me aren't the ones where I was stuck on a long museum tour, squished into a bus full of strangers or when wasted hours in an airport. I believe that seeing, tasting and exploring destinations firsthand is when genuine travel experiences are made, and the ones that linger long after I've returned. I've carefully crafted the routes for Escape Guides to be not just to the most beautiful destinations but those that offer the vision of Europe we all dream about. Drinking wine on the steps of Montmartre at sundown, hiking the peaks of the Amalfi Coast, Escape Guides are a true escape to the best of Europe. RETURNS: If the Escape Guide doesn't end up being what you were looking for then no problem! If you're not pleased within 7 days then email me for a full refund.
