Valerie Chevrier A French national, I spent over a third of my life in anglo-saxon countries and have travelled around the world. I've always loved learning foreign languages and being exposed to different cultures and ways of life. I speak English, Spanish and French fluently. My background is in Marketing and Communication. .. so I'll be your communication specialist! My own experience has taught me that there is nothing like being able to converse with local people in their own language. You feel pretty isolated if you don't! I worked for the service industry for many years, including a national airline, so I've got a pretty good idea of what the words "great service" mean. Between Bryan and I, both very friendly and customer-focused professionals, you are definitely in good hands!
Bryan Banke Hi, my name is Bryan and I live in Tours, France. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada (native nonetheless). I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas back in the 1980s and have worked in the casino and advertising businesses for many years. Through my adult life I have lived in several parts of the world including Japan, Germany and now France. Of all those wonderful places, France has been, by far, the most interesting and I find tremendous satisfaction in showing others this beautiful country. I speak passable French Vallerie is the real linguist--but every day brings me closer to becoming a "local". My talents lie in making you feel at home and comfortable during your time with us. I also do the driving.
Guide Services There's more to France than the Eiffel Tower! Most tourists don't know about it because... - They don't have the local knowledge - Are timid about travel beyond the well-worn paths of Paris - Can't find the right tour. France is more than what you see from a tour bus. Don't limit yourself to pre-planned tour packages. You can travel comfortably away from the pack and see what you want to see at your own pace. Come and join us with one of our Travel Partners This is our primary guide service. With Travel Partners you can rest assured that your trip will be: • Stress free • You won't have any surprises due to the language barrier and those people who use it to prey on tourists. • You will see so much more than you would on an everyday bus tour. You can utilize Travel Partners for your entire stay in France or for specific parts of your itinerary; our involvement is entirely up to you. Travel Partners is very flexible. We can be by your side or in the background. At Your Request We all like to pride ourselves on being somewhat self-sufficient, even in foreign lands where we may have a limited grasp of the language. Afterall, it can be fun trying to get yourself understood with grunts and hand gestures especially when it is something important. However, it is nice to have someone to fall back on in case of communication problems whether it be directions, lost reservations or dealing with a traffic cop. With At Your Request we supply you with a French cell phone, our dedicated phone number and access to us 17 hours a day... just in case. |
