Tour of Montpellier with Guide-Storyteller - Great visit to Montpellier
We just left Benedict. We were a group of 7. What an enthusiasm of the one who rightly defines himself as historian and storyteller.
The stories were exciting. His storytelling took us from the Middle Ages to the modern world.
We have made many guided tours in our lives, but it will remain in the top 3 of our best.
Bravo and thank you.

Best Tour we have taken!! - Hands down the best tour we have been on in Europe!!
Benoit was knowledgeable, entertaining and funny! Our teen boys 15 & 16 thoroughly enjoyed this tour and I am sure will talk about this for years to come! Benoit’s storytelling was immersive, engaging and addictive! This tour is easily worth 10x the process tag!
Thank you for a wonderful morning!

Different take on history, highly recommended - Really enjoyed my tour! Loved the flexibility and delving into stories around the town.
Having lived here for a while in the early 2000s I was keen to dig a little deeper and learn more about the history. Some excellent storytelling and a perfect way to spend my morning before travelling on to Paris.
