    We were just 3 on our Monday tour on our first morning in La Rochelle. John is engaging and relaxed and brimming with knowledge and information about this gorgeous place. We walked where we never would have without him and sampled wonderful restaurants he recommended too. The beautiful shopping streets and the town hall we returned to every day. We also sampled the pineau every day too ! We got the water taxi and swam at La Minimes beach . Our 10 year old adored learning about the history of the city especially the siege and the Priests Tower. And of course spotting le chat !! Thank you John for immersing us in La Rochelle and certainly enriching our short stay to make the most of our time. Highly recommend this tour.

    John delivers an entertaining and informative tour along the highlights of La Rochelle’s harbour and historic centre with Irish charme and a solid knowledge of the city’s history. Hence, the tour provides what it should : you’ll see the town with different eyes. A special thanks for rearranging our attendance at very short notice!
