“Hi. It was highly disappointing tour. The guide did not have any knowledge about the place. For most questions, she did not have any answer. She just showed around the places without explaining the deeper significance of any. She could not converse in English. So not sure how is she even eligible to be a guide for non French tourists. And on top of that, how can this tour be set at such a high price. It felt like waste of time and money for us. Would be great if you can provide refund for this tour.”
Pick a harbour, a hill village or a perfume bench.
