What's a little flooding?? - Even though flooding altered some site visits, Laure took good care to give us an informative, interesting and leisurely tour. She communicated well thru app as well as sending another guide over in person to make sure we knew of her delay. We made it to the remaining sites and she added the covered market since we had time. Laurie also followed up the next day to update us regarding the previous flood closure. We enjoyed our tour and Laure and can highly Recommend her!

Lovely tour - We had a private tour with Lori who was delightful and very knowledgeable. She was patient with all our questions and of course showed us all the historical sites and gave us so much information.

Worth the investment - Thankful we chose to have a professional guide. Lore was kind, patient and knowledgeable. Without her we surely would’ve missed important sites. Depth of knowledge was appreciated. Would recommend!

Enlightening Experience - Highly Recommend! - I went in the first week in September and missed the crowds, which allowed me to explore and truly appreciate the experience. My guide Laure was so lovely, knowledgeable and catered the tour based on what I wanted to see and to give me a full understanding of the history of Lourdes. I would highly recommend!

Excellent and Highly Recommended - If you want to learn a little bit more about the history of the town of Lourdes and St. Bernadette, this is the tour for you. Our tour guide, Laure, was excellent and was very considerate of the pace of walking considering I was with two senior citizens.
