This trip was amazing and I would highly recommend it to others. It was good fun riding the motorcycle and Alexandre was fantastic!!! He was super helpful and considerate. My husband is in a wheelchair but this didn't stop Alexandre to take the booking. He made it all possible which is amazing as we often face made obstacles that makes thing very inaccessible. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for a great day out!!!

Christian’s tour of Dordogne was wonderful. It was so special to be able to get away from the city and tour the countryside - river, valley, farmland, castles and medieval villages. Christian entertained us with many stories - historical and contemporary. He was very friendly and relaxed.

Lucie brought us on a lovely relaxed walking tour of the city, we heard a about the old and new Bordeaux through out the ages. Lucie's English was excellent it was like walking with a friend.

My husband and I enjoyed a very pleasant day at the Pilat Dune and Arcachon with Xavier, who did everything to make our day as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Great guide, good fun and got to see parts of Bordeaux not on the tourist trail.
