Incredibly knowledgeable of the region and the friendliest tour guide. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning about the area. Willing to customize the tour to accommodate any interests. It was such a treat getting to spend the day with her, you can tell she loves what she does. Worth every penny and planning on using her services for any future tours in the region.

Olivia, our tour guide, provided us a great deal of the history of the area and of the different features of the Locks and the the Castle. She was an excellent guide and companion for our tour.

Poco confiable , hicimos la reserva y recibimos la confirmación, estuvimos a la hora indicada y en el punto indicado y el guia nunca apeteció, lo peor de todo es que tampoco aviso que se cancelaba. Un desastre nos hizo perder el valioso tiempo.

er dus vroeg zijn, in Carcassonne. Kerk niet overslaan. Er ‘s avonds afstand van nemen. Prachtige avondopnames te maken.... Canal de Midi zeer intensief voorbereiden; spectaculair.
