Fantastic day out! Our guide was excellent – full of historical knowledge and interesting facts. The tour was perfectly flexible, allowing us to take short breaks when needed as we were traveling with our older parents. The atmosphere was great, we had a lot of fun, and felt completely safe throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

Booked online, this day was wonderful and full of interesting discoveries. Pick up from the hotel at the indicated time! Captivating sites supported by the precise information of Mtir our guide, a cultured person, speaking excellent French and open to any discussion on current events.
