This day offers a very nice discovery of the Balanin villages and makes you want to continue the visit. Cultural and religious heritage, culinary art, crafts and local producers, meeting the inhabitants are on the program. A special mention for our guide, who does not lack humor, knew how to share his knowledge and showed kindness and attention. A friendly thought for our very friendly traveling companions. To recommend. Sophie and Chantal from Toulon

Bastien our guide was super nice and caring. Very pleasant lunch at the Bergers (Christophe and his wife), the menu was excellent (homemade). It is well worth the price. A little swim in the river rather cool and enjoyable to end the day well. I recommend to do and to do again, great company.

Captain Gib (Gilbert) very friendly and caring. Allowed us to see unique sites and gave us good advice! I highly recommend this excursion

Excellent experience, we had a great time with Gilbert our captain for the evening.
