Michael Osman's Phone No.??
 
Could someone please give me Michael Osman's phone no. I can't find it on his website. Or Fax number either. We are trying to reach him for booking a surprise birthday trip in May.
Thank You...Beachbarbie

If anyone has it please don't post it. He was quite amazed that someone had given it out! It is a cel phone and hardly seems fair to call him when you can reach him via e-mail at [email protected].

He has his phone number posted on one of his home pages advertising his tours. Here it is: http://hometown.aol.com/parisfind/my.../business.html The phone number is listed under "how to contact me," so I guess that means it is one of the ways he's inviting people to contact him. (I don't know him, but I just like finding things for people.)

I've heard that Michael's tours are excellent, but reaching him by email (that is, getting a response) ain't so easy.

He also checks in often on his site destinationparis on msn.

It was easy enough for me to do it to arrange a tour. Last year when people were complaining about his not returning e-mails he was having a computer problem.

To the OP...is is possible that replies are being blocked from your e-mail inbox?

I've booked Michael for May and have been receiving prompt responses to my e-mails - just received one this morning. I did let him know that you are trying to connect.

Thank You Sooo much. We have tried several times with the emails with no response and as the trip that we are trying to book is in May we really need to reach him soon. My brother is really going to plan his dates around Michael for his wife's surprise birthday present.
This will make his day. You guys are great!!

Here's hoping you are able to connect with Michael. He did mention this morning that he had a full day planned today, so hopefully you'll hear from him in a day or two.

If I were Michael, I wouldn't give out my phone number, for fear someone would ring me in the middle of my night (early evening for the caller) or in the middle of a guiding tour (it wouldn't be fair to the people being guided, to have him attending to a call rather than their tour).
Wasn't there a book called, "Tyranny of the Urgent", decrying the need to stop serving a customer to respond to a subsequent telephone call? As though the latest of any interruption is automatically the most urgent?
