Hi all,
I thought I'd discuss the transfers we actually did use instead of the VEA coach. I talked in a previous post about the issues we faced in booking a transfer through Thomas Cook. So on returning home after the unsuccessful trip to Thomas Cook, we got online and within moments we had found a company specialising in private transfers.
This may not be suitable to everyone out there, the gentleman that we took although he was in a wheelchair he was able to transfer from the chair into a car albeit with some difficulty. I would use the company again for everything except the vehicle that they actually use. It was a VW van, lovely and clean, spacious but very tall, there were two small steps to get in. It was difficult to manage but we did manage.
In terms of service, we sent a booking email to their offices in Paris, probably around 6pm GMT. By 8pm GMT I had a reply confirming the booking, and with instructions regarding what to do to pick up your transfer. The email instucted us to call their office after we had landed but before picking up luggage. No money exchanges hands until you arrive at your destination. We were very fortunate in that our driver was already there waiting for us! Excellent, straight on the road!
The transfer took about 25-30 minutes. Painless and comfortable! The driver spoke excellent English and was incredibly helpful and courteous. All this for 70 Euro for 3 people. Not bad going I thought.
The company we used was
Opipare Travel Sarl
8, Rue Jean Richard Bloch
95100
Argenteuil
France
tel: +33634219788

Hope this helps!

ReplyDeleteThe children and youth should be able to get as much value out of the vacation as the adults.
ReplyDeleteDestinations Closer to Home
Travelling out of BC and the surrounding areas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Florida are popular family choices. Attractions such as Disneyland and Walt Disney World are a must at some point with most families.
If you are looking for more snow and ice, then of course that is a different story!
The best advice is to consult your Cruise & Resort Professional who can help you sort through the choices to create a vacation perfect for the whole family!
More cruise & resort destinations to come in future articles. Til then, keep cruisin’!
