A nice and rewarding discovery of Poitiers, which makes us know the city differently! We will keep a good memory and recommend
A brief, but excellent, introduction to Poitiers and its history. My guide was delightful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.
Delighted by our visit to Poitiers with Paul, co-host of Larry. We could not have appreciated Poitiers without his explanations. Time has passed far too fast. We strongly recommend discovering Poitiers with Paul or Larry.
Merci à vous Valérie, pour cette évaluation. Nous vous transmettons nos salutations de la part de toute l'équipe qui a été ravie de vous accueillir dans notre belle ville!

Thanks a lot for your great feedback. It was nice to meet you ! -Larry
Very beautiful city full of history. The guide was friendly and told us many anecdotes about the history of Poitiers. At the end of the visit he even advised us on places to eat which we really appreciated!
Merci pour votre évaluation, ce fut un plaisir de vous emmener à la découverte de notre ville !
Well organised. Very interesting. Lots of surprises. So happy to have taken this tour at the start of my visit to get to know the city of Poitiers better.
A city tour through the center of Poitiers along various places from the rich French history. Led by an enthusiastic, multilingual guide with a lot of knowledge which he was able to explain in a fun way.
Coming from Senegal, I've visited many cities in France, but none compare to Poitiers. This city is just emblematic and full of histories. Larry and Paul took me back to medieval times, walking through streets and cathedrals. I'll have plenty to talk about when I get home, and I'd recommend this activity to anyone. Thanks again for this amazing experience.
Larry’s knowledge of Poitiers is vast and deep, and he shares these with his guests in stories, facts, and directing attention to must-see views and details. Poitiers holds a special place in religious and cultural history, and Larry puts his guests into this history with his personable style of delivery. This tour is a must-do to truly know Poitiers.
Really interesting tour ! Larry has a great sense of narration and he loves his city! I learned a lot about Poitiers
