Iker gave a virtual presentation via Internet of his Bilbao and Guggenheim Museum Private tour. It was very interesting to get to know this amazing city and Iker showed a lot of impressing photos so that everybody could perfectly imagine the tour. At the same time, he answered a lot of individual questions, showing a very good knowledge of art, the city's history, food etc. All in all, we got a vivid image of Bilbao and will book him as soon as we will be able to visit this city for real.

I had the most marvelous experience with Veronique Hery in Aveyron, France. First of all, she is a marvelous and accommodating hostess. She is also extremely knowledgeable about so many places, things, and people in her location. Her house is a newly remodeled home originally built in 1930 (recently by French standards). Veronique is totally bilingual. She is very caring to her house guest. Lots of FUN to be with, and gives space as needed. I wholeheartedly recommend her as your guide. The area of and near Aveyron is little known by outsiders, yet it is beautiful and historic. Rolling hills, 12th century hilltop villages, historic city of Albi, a great but undiscovered wine region called Marcillac, and Veronique as your guide. A great way to spend a week, or more. The only downside is it's a bit harder to get to the Rodez area than most other parts of France, but it's well worth the small extra hassle.

The Aquitaine company is a family business, run by Pacsal Bories. 3-4 members of her family work on the boat with her. She is great, Very helpful. The Captain is a cranky old Austrian, but really quite amusing. The boat is a converted transport barge. It is not fancy, but it is comfortable and clean. There is a nice bar/lounge area, some outside space, and a big bike deck. The bikes are absolutely first class. Our group (except me) had new german e-bikes that worked very well. Everyone found the 30-45k. per day easy. I am a relatively serious 60+ cyclist. I don’t know if they just figured it out, but they gave me a brand new lightweight gravel/adventure bike that was fantastic. I was the only one to get this high-end bike. So I had no problem leading out the group every day. The routes chosen for riding were excellent. Several days there were long and short options. They took us to plenty of beautiful small villages, wineries, no shortage of patisseries, markets, and interesting sites. The best part of the routes was that there is virtually no car traffic, and it was very safe. You are more likely to come across a grape wagon, or old tractor than a car. Its easy to get lost , but all the roads connect, and you always end up back on track. The food is fresh and plentiful but not real fancy. The only drawback I would say is the dining room, with its 7 foot ceiling, and closely spaced tables was very noisy when all 80 passengers were in for dinner. I can recommend this cruise to everyone, except those expecting AMA type classy cruising. This one is for active people who want to be on the go, and have lots of freedom.

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.
