Wonderful tour guide in beautiful South France! - We had an amazing tour of the Mary Magdalene cave and St Maximin Basilica with Nathalie, who really took wonderful care of us! We knew that the steep trail up to the cave in the mountains would be a challenge for my elderly dad but Nathalie was so patient and encouraging that it was more fun than challenging. Once we made it to the top, we had an incredible experience, caught the last half of the daily mass which was beautiful, and took in the stunning views from the mountain views. Nathalie then arranged a delicious lunch at a nearby restaurant and had time to visit the basilica and shops and tour the local villages. We were impressed by her knowledge, energy and consideration as she made sure we were well taken care of the entire day. We really felt like VIPs on our private tour and would strongly recommend her to anyone planning a tour in South France. Thank you Nathalie!
