Olivia is a lovely genuine person and a wonderful guide. We have travelled to many countries, with various guides, and we think Olivia is one of the best. Olivia picked us up from Avignon and made the journey into a tour to Carcassonne where we were staying 5 nights. She also organised two half day trips to local and very interesting places and then took us on to Toulouse Airport. Olivia is so knowledgeable and shares her incredibly interesting information in a story-telling way, which is very captivating. So many times we have done tours but only remember a tiny portion of what we have been told - but Olivia made the history come alive and we learnt so much from her. Key to being a great guide is having good and safe driving skills - Olivia is an excellent driver, even when others on the road are not so aware, and we felt very safe with her at all times. It was hot a few days and raining on another day - the vehicle is well equipped and every passenger has their own climate control vents so the journey is very comfortable. We didn't do a wine tour but Olivia gave us lots of recommendations and explanations anyway - thanks for introducing us to the excellent range of Minervois red wines Olivia!
Thanks Olivia for a wonderful time - we will always remember you with happy memories!

We chose the Carcassone city tour, with lake swim and vineyard tour. It was excellent. Olivia was knowledgeable, friendly and informative and the day was well planned and interesting. The vineyard tour was definitely a highlight!

Our two tours with Olivia, the first a morning walk around Carcassonne and the second, an all day tour taking in Cathar castles, medieval villages and wine tasting at a vineyard were excellent. Olivia knows her history and made us feel she was a friend showing us the sights of her region rather than just another tour guide. I would recommend her highly. Alex

My partner and I took a one-day wine tasting tour with Olivia during our recent stay in Carcassone, and it was a real highlight of our holiday. From start to finish Olivia was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely welcoming and warm. The day was extremely well organised and we really came away feeling like we had made a great decision.

I really recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the wines from this stunning region in France.

Thank you again Olivia for making our day so wonderful!

Paul & Victoria.

Just come back from a long birthday weekend in carcassonne made very special by our full day 3 vineyard wine tour/tasting with Olivia who made a fabulous job of driving us around the beautiful countryside visiting the wineries in her very smart people carrier telling us all about what goes into putting a glass of wine in front of you French style!!she was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English and was so friendly.

She drove into carcassonne to pick us up at our apartment and after visiting the first winery we went to a beautiful hotel for lunch and had a Three course meal French style, food was excellent!!Then did another two more wineries before returning to carcassonne around 5.30pm pretty tipsy!!

We recommend this tour hugely and would,nt hesitate to book another tour with her when we return again soon hopefully.Merci Beaucoup Olivia we had one amazing day!
