The trip was absolutely fantastic! Brenda was an exceptional guide and we had great fun with her the whole day. We came away with so much new knowledge about both olive oil and wine, but also with so many incredible memories of our time on this tour. Not only was the olive oil and wine lovely but the included lunch was also superb! We left absolutely stuffed and with a great appreciation for the food and drinks culture of the region. We would highly recommend doing this trip with Brenda!

David is a knowledgeable and welcoming guide. Our tour went well beyond the two sites mentioned in the description: we also visited le Pont du Diable and le Lac Salagou, where we picnicked. David was attentive to both French and non-French speakers during our tour, assuring that all were included and that no one missed anything. I highly recommend David's tour company and will do other tours with him in the future. Merci mille fois, David.

The tour to St Guilhem-le-Desert was beautiful and interesting. Seeing the inner workings of the olive oil mill and the vineyard was great, we all loved the tastings, the picnic was plenty and well prepared (it's also great for vegetarians -- not so great for vegans as local cheeses play a large role), and Brenda is a fantastic guide, would always book with her again. Suggestion: A photo stop at the Pont de Diable would have been nice.

Brilliant day trip. Great that it was a small group. David was brilliant . Spoke both English and French. Got to see loads of stuff. He was really helpful and enthusiastic even supplied chairs and a table for lunch . Highly recommend the trip. Excellent value for money.

really good value for money day trip, you get to see a lot of places. the guide David is helpful and enthusiastic. definitely recommend
