Over priced food, service slow. Waiter was good, not his fault that it was over 1 hour from the time we sat down until we got our entree. Will not be back.

Susan, our lovely British guide, was wonderful! Almost a native of Lourdes, 42 years here, she knew exactly where to go and how to tell a story! Susan listened to what we were interested in exploring and explained everything in just enough detail. I would highly recommend her!!
