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!

Unfortunately i have to leave a bad review for this experience. First bad review i have ever written! Based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor , i have booked this experience as a part of my & husbands Wedding Anniversary South of France Road trip - as a highlight of the trip. Before i booked this , i have noticed that the same Person-Bertrand offers multiple tours in same day and some of them even clash .For example ours was at 5pm and supposed to be few hours ,but then there was another one @ 3pm for few hours and also more in the same day. Initially i assumed they will be hosted by different people. Even though all the reviews i saw ,mentioned just Bertrand. So i booked this and later on got a confirmation that this is available and it's booked. That was two weeks before the trip. So day before the actual tour ,i got a message from Bertrand saying that can we change it for the next day because of his "another job" ! I replied that unfortunately it wouldn't be possible because we are in Montpellier just for one night because we are on the road trip! He just said he can't because of the problem with another work. When i explained the situation to him again, he wouldn't respond anymore. I had a look on tripadvisor again(on Viator on also other websites) , and can see there are a lot of tours he offers on the same day ! I have asked this to him-does he just trying to maximise his chances of bookings and then just moving them all to one ?As it looked like that IS his another job .He didn't respond. I tried to call-no answer.I have cancelled just to make sure i get a refund. I do understand that things happen and i would normally accept this as just part of life situation. But seeing that this same person hosts multiple tours in the same time is just ridiculous! Also trying to change it on the day before when we had no chance to rebook it with someone else! And no proper communication or even apology of the cancellation. Maybe i'm the only one who experienced this, i don't know. So yeah ,thanks Bertrand for ruining most important part of our trip!
