We had an excellent experience with Joe e Liz. We really loved their hospitality. They welcomed us in their house, surrounded by vineyards, with a glass of good wine and, above all, with their smiles. The apartment was large clean and well equipped, the night was so quiet.. and the breakfast wonderful! We felt at home during all our stay there and joe and Liz cuddled us and our son.. In the afternoon joe showed us his activity through the vineyards and the cellar and in the evening Liz served us a fabulous dinner! We enjoyed the dinner and the company. We suggest this place to everyone!!! Thank you Liz and Joe Paolo, Barbara e Matteo

We booked this tour 45 minutes prior to when we wanted to leave, Mago showed up, great spirit & attitude. This tour is awesome, get to see great sights & places you wouldn’t go unless you were experienced with area or local. Mago is super-friendly, very knowledgeable (has done his research) & is passionate about the area. I would suggest using Mago for all tours of the Riviera.

Cathy gave us exactly what we requested and more in our visit to Lourdes. For non French speakers or those with a limited ability to speak French, Cathy is fabulous. She is knowledgeable in the local history and was wonderful helping my disabled husband access the baths and sights of the Lourdes Shrine. She knows how to help bypass all the tourist lines for those who cannot stand in line. She arranged for all travel for us even during one of the busiest times. She treated us like friends or family, not customers. In a word, she is wonderful, the best tour guide we have ever had.

dear all travellers, its me again! another day another review. Me and judith decided after this crazy year we have all had that it was time for a spiritual break. We booked our tour in hope of gaining a stronger connection to the Lord. We arrived bang on time to find robertto no where in sight so we had a panic. It must have been at least an hour and robertto finally turns up with no apology or sympathy he just rocked up with his dora the explorer backpack, walking boots and quater length walking shorts in the colour beige. We began our pilgrimage with another couple named margaret and jonathan who were both gorgeous and made us chuckle quite a few times, although jonathan was slightly cheeky and did try to have little flirt with my wife judith ( i was unimpressed) It was lets say about 2 hours into the walk we were going over some difficult and challenging walking conditions and i fell even though i had my new mountain warehouse walking boots i still managed to fall (complaint has been forwaded to mountain warehouse ) i looked to my left and noticed robertto had a cheeky little smirk on his face i was already disappointed with him but this just tipped me over the edge (literally) and even worse it was the gorgeous jonathan who struggled to pick i knew myself that i shouldn't have had that extra croissant this morning. Overall, i do wish to visit again and maybe making to the destination this time as due to severe injury i couldn't complete my pilgrimage. Auvoir!
