About this experience

My tour is a private and close trip, designed to discover the authenticity of the South of France. I take you in a comfortable electric car, in a small group (max. 3 people), to explore at your own pace medieval villages, natural landscapes and local legends.

More than a guide, I am your companion (I am a native Spanish speaker). A place that tells you about legends, traditions and anecdotes that do not appear in the guides, and I adapt every moment to your interests.

Everything in Spanish or French, with the confidence to travel as with a local friend who knows every corner.
