Paris and Champagne
April + Ben
Charon planned the perfect trip to France for me and my husband. We had never visited France before and were overwhelmed by the number of choices for ... well, everything! Charon carefully listened to our “wish list” then asked questions about our preferences and the type of experiences we enjoyed. Together we decided on a visit to Paris, followed by a trip to Rheims, in the champagne region. She planned tours and restaurants that were off the beaten path, and included tiny details like “this is a beautiful walk at night after dinner.” I love the app that she used to load our daily itinerary. It was nice to have all of our information right at our fingertips. With Charon’s help, we were able to check off many “bucket list” items. These included staying in a historic chateau, eating dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant, and getting private tours at Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot. It was truly a magnificent trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Charon and Across the Pond again.
London, Paris, and Ireland
Kallie + Tim
I am reminiscing on our beautiful honeymoon to Ireland, Paris, and London and just have to give all the credit to Charon Harris and Across The Pond Curated Travel. We put the whole trip in her hands and couldn’t be more grateful that we did. She made sure that everywhere we stayed was perfect, we saw the most beautiful sights, we had detailed instructions of where to go and when, we ate at incredible restaurants that she suggested, she gave us many tips and tricks, and she was ready if we ever needed advice while we were there. We rarely ever veered away from her plans, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wonderful trip. If you ever want to see Europe (or anywhere new!) please do yourself a favor and book with Across the Pond!
London and Ireland
Party of 5
Across the Pond planned my family vacation to Ireland and London. Charon made numerous recommendations - including must see places, where to stay and restaurants. We were traveling with 5 so planning (at least for me) was a challenge. We were thrilled with the recommendations and accommodations. Favorite stop was Enniskerry- a place I would not have stopped but for the recommendation. We even have some dietary restrictions and Charon has helped us find great restaurants.
Paris, France
Honeymoon
Going to France for my husband and my honeymoon was an absolute fairytale that wouldn’t have been possible without Mrs. Charon and Across the Pond.
We knew very little about being a tourist in France, but knew that we wanted to spend time in Paris as well as the countryside and that we wanted to see as much as possible but still have time to rest after a busy season of wedding planning.
​
Mrs. Charon provided us with a full schedule of events for our entire trip, but in a way that allowed us to pick and choose what events we attended. By design, very little of the trip was reserved, which allowed us to relax and have the day evolve naturally without rushing to get from one event to another. For meals, Mrs. Charon provides us with multiple options depending on the part of town we were in and was able to get us reservations for romantic evenings.
​
One of our favorite things about the honeymoon was the app Mrs. Charon uses. It posted our tickets, reservations and daily schedule in an easy to follow format, and connected to our phone’s map so we always knew where to go. Additionally, the app allowed us to connect with Mrs. Charon when we had questions or needed tips.
​
There is no doubt that our honeymoon would not have been as memorable if it wasn’t for Mrs. Charon and Across the Pond. She brings a first-hand knowledge of Europe that truly separates her from other trip services. We have become customers for life and can’t wait to book our next trip with Across the Pond!
