    What travelers think of our experiences in Europe

    This was a well paced tour around Toulouse. We saw huge churches and much smaller ones. Sylvan was a great guide and impacted so much knowledge. We really enjoyed this walk. Highly recommended.

    Virginie is an outstanding tour guide. She took her time and even showed us some places to eat that were delicious! We had a wonderful time as she really knows the area and explains the history of Marseilles so you can really understand it. The four of us had a great time with her as our tour guide. Highly recommend her!

    I was thrilled with the fact that I could arrange a private tour for our family group of 6 seniors. We were all equally interested in the history of Toulouse but 2 of us don’t walk as quickly as the others and need the occasional stop to sit down. Booking was easy and the guide we were paired with was equally easy to work with. Sylvain provided the tour we had hoped for. Highly recommend.

    We had a lovely 2 hour tour with a local guide called Sylvain. He met us at our accommodation and showed us the major sights of Toulouse. He previously asked us where we would like to eat for lunch and took us there at the end of the tour. He went overtime by 30min. Much appreciated his easy going and friendly manner. Would highly recommend.
