Comment and remarks from customers

Thank you for such a wonderful week, we have thoroughly enjoyed the whole barging experience. Your professional approach and attention to detail are second to none. But it's your friendly, welcoming hospitality that made our week such a joy. Jason's tours and tasting and Dawns food, the local restaurants were all superb. The peace and tranquility of watching the French countryside glide by was just what we needed. This week has been the highlight of our month in France. We have loved every minute. We will be return.

This has been an awesome week! We had perfect weather. Our cosy room 5 was excellent. Dawns cooking ..wow! Unfortunatly the other restaurants could not compete! We loved waking up on the canal, riding along the tow path and lounging on the deck. We learned so much about Burgundy wines, jasons extensive knowledge is wonderful. We definatly plan to return.

This trip was all we could have hoped for, more than was promised and most importantly, a friendship and memories to last a lifetime.

Words dont begin to explain what à wonderful Time we have had. We suspected but it passed all expections. Dawn, your meals have surpassed all. Jason, your font of information knows no bounds. We will return!

For all 6 of us, when people ask us what was the highlight of our Trip, unamimously it has been the week we spent with you. Im afraid the who knows cookbook has become tattered and torn showing it off.

Top 10 reasons why this is the best vacation:- 1. Dawn is the best of the morning... Noon and night. 2. Cocktails start at breakfast. 3. Straight, flat paths in beautiful, tranquil countryside in which to walk and cycle along. 4. Jason the encyclopdia. 5. The floating Wine cellar. 6. Breakfast, lunch, dinner - its all about gourmet chef Dawn. 7. The Ashcrofts Quick wit and sense of humour. 8. The towel fairy... How does Dawn find the time. 9. Most of all, à special time with old friends, new friends in Dawn and Jason. 10. Grand marnier soufflés

Your attention to details, amazing food and wine, kindness and conversation have made our adventure with you a surprise " around every corner". We hope to return in the future.

We have loved every moment of our week with you. There has been delightful surprise every day. You are the perfect hosts, we hope many Aussies get the opportunity to sail aboard the " who knows".

So let me tell you some thing Of our week in July . Restaurants, vine yards, châteaux extraordinaire . We tasted wine pas ordinaire. With Jason the skipper, sommelier and guide. And Dawns haute cuisine with which we were plied. For all those who follow the message is clear: If you are looking for heaven You will find it right here.....

Everything about our week with you exceed our expections. We loved the beauty and peacefullness of the surroundings. Dawn- you were always ready to Help and usually anticipated our needs - always cheerful and pleasant, but it was your cooking which is remarkable. You created delicious meals - delicate and beautifully presented- a joy to be hold. Jason - you are an excellent barge captain and knowledgeable tour guide, we learnt a great deal about France and its history.

Everything from the grand-fabulous meals to the smallest details, could not have been more perfect. A vacation we will tresure.

Even better than last year!!!!

Who knew..... That we would return six years later, to another magical experience. The second trip was better (if possible) than the first and we are already looking forward to the third trip. We can not say enough good things about the food, the Wine, the cheese, the excursions and of course, the wonderful service and comraderie.

It was very hard to imagine that our second cruise with Jason and Dawn would or could be better than the first but it was. The food, conversation, choice of Wine and cheese were out standing . We will return again!

The second time around was even better than the first. You have this barges wonderfullness nailed!

Perfect in everyway. Thank you.

Thank you for the most wonderful week it has been above and beyond our expectations. The wine tasting tours and feasts were fantastic. We look forward, God willing, to seeing you in a couple of years.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Simply put, I could not have imagined a more special, unique, comfortable and above all just absolutely pleasurable vacation

Making a barge trip on the French canals has been on our "Bucket List" for over 20 years. We are delighted to say that our trip on the Burgundy canal exceeded our expectations by a huge margin. Our biggest and most positive surprise was Jason@s encyclopedic knowledge of French history, Culture, wine making, Etc. Dawn, you cooking was sensational and your friendly, charming personality infectious.

thank you so much for our week in paradise. the knowledge imparted, the comfort, the ease, the pace, the shared laughter, the most scrumptous meals and prolific flow of incredible wines. it has been so much fun! the oohing and ahhing expressed when we first saw and embarked on the Who Knows will be with us forever.

this was a long anticipated trip and it surpassed all our expectations everyday we felt lucky to be on the boat, to have the benefit of Jason's knowledge and Dawns cooking. The boat is as beautiful as the countryside, most of all thanks for the warmth and constant thoughtfullness and of course the great memories. Mum's birthday cake was beautiful.

thank you for a lovely week, the time on the barge was better than i imagined, dawn is a fantastic chef and jason a fantastic tour guide and sommelier. hope to see you again soon we will be back.

Who knows? Jason and Dawn know how to deliver a fantastic experience. From my Family and me this has been one of the most enjoyable weeks that we have ever had. Jason Knows history, politics, piloting and wine. he knows how to explain and present Burgundian wines, Dawn knows how to produce fantastic food, she also knows how to make the guests feel welcome and she simply brightens the day

A trip of a life time. Jason's knowledge of the local history is exceptional, Dawns cooking put everything else to shame.

This trip has created so many memories for the 6 of us- Jason and Dawn have it right- we are grateful to be the recipients of this barging experience, gourmet meals, interesting historical information and gracious hospitality.

There are memories through our lives that will remain forever, and we know this is one. It has been a dream of ours to come on a barge trip for over 25 years, and this reality has proven even more than we ever dreamed. Its been a great week of fun and laughter made all the better by our hosts. The trip more than met our expectations, many thanks!

Jason and Dawn, you are a great team, you have made our canal trip a fantastic dream. Jason, you have taught us that nothing will do but to partake each day with a premier cru! Dawn, we can not say enough about your cuisine - and housekeeping practices - oh! so pristine! The trip to l'hospice de beaune was one that will always stand alone.

It is now the end of a week, that has exceeded our expectations by far. Thank you Jason and Dawn for the great care to detail. From the infomative tours to wine tasting. To the incredible food and wine. It has been a truly amazing week for all of us.

My hesitation to leave my home for a barge vacation in France very quickly disappeared thanks to your wonderful hospitality and warm friendship. Within a day or so i was referring to the barge as "home". I will definitely recommend your barge to my family and all my friends in Dallas.

You truly made our trip wonderful. You both have a gift and we feel lucky to have spent time sharing your beautiful barge and home. The food was delicous and your attentive and caring service superb. We thouroughly enjoyed our day trips,tours and learning more about Burgundy. We will recommend the Who Knows and hope to be back barging with you again.

We will not hesitate to recommend you both. Our week was more than we could ever have expected.

What an unexpected treasure! The tranquil canal, birds singing, wonderful woods and charming little villages. No sound other than the birds. It is known as "food for the soul" Thank you for your kind attention, wonderful food and extreme knowledge of the history of the wonderful countryside.

Floating through the peacful countryside was a delightful new experience for us. We find it an ideal way to travel! Particulary attractive when so lovingly cared for and spoiled by the thoughtful Dawn and Jason. The sightseeing was professionally led and commented. We enjoyed it along with the excellent food and wines as well as the relaxed atmosphere on board. We are already looking forward to the next trip!
