Philippe was extremely accommodating with us through the planning of our quick visit and our tour. We had no agenda than other to see and feel the culture and history…and he delivered! It was a whirlwind tour and we are very grateful for the time he spent sharing his home and country pride with us. Appreciate and recommend business to anyone needing a guide.
