“Our day small group tour to Provence was wonderful! Katarina was a fabulous guide, and shared in both french and english, interesting information with our mixed language group, and her instructions were always clear.

When he arrived, he stopped in the middle of the street, holding up traffic and split our group up because not everyone would fit in his vehicle. Because we had waited for over an hour, we were extremely hesitant to split up because we weren’t sure that the other vehicle would ever show up…which spoilers: it…”
