Marc was a wonderful driver and guide - very informative, personable and flexible. Excellent presentation in both French and English. Only slight criticism was we wished there was a little more free time on Aigues-Mortes, but otherwise an afternoon well-spent.

Excellent tour. Saw the Camargue horses,flamingoes and toros. Visited a walled Medieval town and tasted some local foods. David is an excellent guide. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed discovering the Camargue, from the horses and flamingos to the medieval town and local delicacies. It’s great to hear that David made the experience even more special — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
If you don't want to get the train to Aigues Mortes and don't have much time this is a good opportunity to visit with a guide. Drawback is that you walk round in a group so no time to do your own thing - would be better with free time and a meeting point for a drink. But we were shown the key sites and churches and stopped on the return to climb a medieval tower for amazing views!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the guided visit and appreciated the key highlights of Aigues-Mortes, including the churches and the medieval tower with its stunning views. We understand that some free time to explore independently would have added to your experience, and we’ll definitely keep this in mind for future improvements. We hope to see you again on another tour !
Great visit, I loved the Camargue and the scenery. Special mention for the city of Aigues Mortes and the explanations of the guide. I recommend!

Merci pour votre recommandation, et au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre découverte de la région !
A beautiful discovery of Aigues Mortes, its history, its monuments, its lively streets. We tasted its specialties, and the wine of Camargue
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette découverte d’Aigues-Mortes, entre patrimoine, ambiance vivante et saveurs locales. Au plaisir de vous faire découvrir d’autres trésors du sud lors d’une prochaine excursion !
We had a very friendly and competent guide who picked us up on time in Montpellier and showed us the Camargue. We have received very interesting information about the culture, history and origin of the Camargue. We also had plenty of time to observe flamingos. That was great! Unfortunately, however, the tour cannot be described as a rosé wine tour, as we have not received any rosé wine. At the end of the tour, we only received a handout of wine bars in Montpellier, to which you could have gone alone. That was very disappointing. The title of the excursion is therefore misleading and should rather dispense with the addition of "rosé wine tour". Likewise, there was no tasting of tapenades, but only ONE chip of bread with tapenade in a shop in the pedestrian zone of Aigues-Mortes. Well...
Lieber Wolfgang, vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrungen mit uns zu teilen. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit unserer Führerin zufrieden waren und die Entdeckung der Camargue sowie die Beobachtung der Flamingos genießen konnten. Sie haben vollkommen recht – zu Beginn der Saison haben wir die Route und den Inhalt der Tour geändert. Die Besichtigung eines Weinguts sowie die Roséweinverkostung sind leider nicht mehr Bestandteil der Tour. Wahrscheinlich haben Sie Ihre Buchung noch vor dieser Änderung vorgenommen und hätten dementsprechend informiert werden müssen. Dass dies nicht geschehen ist, tut uns aufrichtig leid. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, uns direkt zu kontaktieren – wir würden Ihnen gerne eine Entschädigung für die entstandene Enttäuschung anbieten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
We absolutely love this tour! The winery was absolutely huge and beautiful, and we were suprised by the diversity of rosé wines they have to offer. Also the medieval city is awesome, and our guide, Gabriel, was very knowledgeable. We recommend it!!
