What people are saying about Montpellier

We absolutely loved this tour - the variety of places we visited, the beauty of both the towns and the landscapes. The pace was perfect.... we weren't rushed and were able to linger in places of particular interest. I can't believe we covered so much in one day, yet still felt energised at the end of the trip. We were very impressed with our guide David who shifted effortlessly between english and french. He was charming and knowledgeable and very generous with his time.

David was exceptionally knowledgeable, and gracious to continue with the tour when all others who'd booked canceled or didn't show. And personalized the tour to my liking in the process. He walked at my pace, and since the tour wasn't taking as long as usual, added a couple extras into it.

Excellent trip with a little group of 8 people - David was a very caring guide and made everyone happy as he is very flexible. The scenery of this trip is breathtaking - we are left with beautiful memories - thank you David! Greetings from Switzerland …

Great tour. Tour guide David is wonderful and knowledgeable. Full day. Bring shoes for hiking in Moureze part of tour, your own lunch for picnic and a swim suit if you want to take a quick dip at pont de diablo on way to Saint Gilhem.

Very nice trip and very nice guide! We recommend ! Thanks for the nice tour
