Thierry is very knowledgeable on the Chateauneuf du Pape region. He will go the extra mile to make sure your wine tasting experience is matching with your palate. He also knows many of the wine makers and proprietors. This relationship allowed us to taste wines that are in the preproduction bottling process. The tour was definitely a highlight of our trip to France.

This is the best tour hands down! Abdu was such an awesome guide! Segways are extremely easy to drive, it becomes second nature in just a few minutes. If you like adventure, personalized guide and visiting most of Maresille’s landmarks in a couple of hours you cannot miss this tour!

Perfect activity to discover Camargue! Our guide was excellent! sandra knew everything about her lovely region and it was such a pleasure to travel with her. Thank you! Et bonne continuation!

Brilliant 2 hours. Bit tricky at the beginning getting used to the controls and the maps but we soon were ok. Would recommend. We were on our own rather than following an instructor

Everyone was very nice and comfortable. I had a great time
