A wonderful town offering faith filled experience, good food, beautiful community by the best ever tour guide. Sonya was wonderful!

This was a wonderful day to experience beautiful towns near Toulouse. Our guide, Sonia, was very knowledgeable about each town and passionate about the local wines. Cordes was my favorite town with its history and maintained structures. Although time spent traveling in the van with our group was only a couple of hours, Sonia need deodorant and a change of clothes as her smell was unpleasant & barely tolerable

Wonderful driver (Sonya) who was able to share lots of history and her knowledge was exemplary. Beautiful country, beautiful towns, nice wines.

This is our first time to visit Lourdes. The tour gave us a detail look on where the various sites are and our guide gave us a lot of tips. Our guide Laure is very knowledgeable, friendly, and accomodating. This is a very informative and valuable tour for first time visitor to Lourdes.

From the very beginning, our communication with Federica at the Raphael Tours office was exceptional. She was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring throughout the planning of our journey from San Sebastián to Lourdes. Her attention to detail gave us confidence that we were in good hands even before our trip began.We had an absolutely wonderful of the entire trip. Our driver Armenio was punctual, professional, and made the journey comfortable and stress-free.Our tour guide Evelien was exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the life of St. Bernadette, Lourdes, and its spiritual history. What impressed us most was how she went beyond what was expected . She never rushed us and made sure the tour was complete and meaningful. She was a good photographer, too.Her passion, knowledge, and genuine care made our experience in Lourdes even more special. We are truly grateful for the wonderful service and personal attention we received.Without hesitation, 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!Thank you, Raphael Tours, for taking such wonderful care of us. Truly a 10/10 experience and one we will always remember.

Karen was amazing! Just full of interesting tidbits of information! She was so open to go into small alleyways to see what was hiding there. I really enjoyed my time with her.

Wonderful full day trip from Toulouse to Lourdes and the Pyrenees mountain range. Our guide Sonya was very knowledgeable in the regional history and guided us through the village of Lourdes. You are on your own for the pilgrimage into the sacred areas. We brought our own snacks as we did not want to “waste” time in restaurants since we were there for the St Bernadette experience.

Cecile was an excellent guide. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and answwred questions. She gave us extra time too

I arrived to Toulouse on a last minute trip and wasn't able to do a traditional tour, but this app lead tour was the trick. It was. A good amount of walking, but brought you to the coolest historic parts of the city. I went on a Saturday later afternoon and was able to go in a majority of the churches and explore spots nearby, like the Jardin des Plantes. For the money, the integration with Google maps, the hints (which you could skip if you wanted to) and the ability to see the highlights of the city in a few hours, I definitely recommend.

Exceptional! Subtle, funny, well-executed. Rich in historical references. In good taste and just the right amount of time.

A very original ride, lots of humor from a sparkling guide who delighted us!

We joined this wine tour as a team in July. Sorry for the late review!Our guide, Cor, was incredibly friendly and professional. He kept us updated through WhatsApp, shared his live location, and was perfectly on time, making everything very easy and stress-free.We knew very little about French wine before the tour, but thanks to Cor's clear and engaging explanations, we came away with a much better understanding of the wines of Fronton. The information booklet he prepared about the wineries was especially excellent and made the experience even more meaningful.We visited two wineries in Fronton, and both offered a wonderfully warm welcome. It was a fantastic opportunity to discover unique local wines that are difficult to find anywhere else. The quality of the wines was outstanding. As international visitors, we were disappointed that we couldn't buy more bottles to take home!One of the most memorable moments was when Cor brought an aroma kit that was almost like an encyclopedia of wine aromas. Thanks to that experience, I realized that there are certain aromas in wine that I simply can't detect. It was fascinating and taught me something new about my own sense of smell.What impressed me most was that Cor wasn't just driving us around the countryside. He genuinely loves this region, loves its wines, and truly enjoys introducing them to beginners like us. His passion made the whole experience special.If you're visiting Toulouse, don't miss this tour. I'm sure you'll leave with a new appreciation for the Fronton wine region.

Joseph is an amazing tour guide who is accommodating and will guide you on a relaxed path through the town to visit important sites related to Bernadette. I met other visitors and we had a great time tasting wine and cheese and exploring the streets of Lourdes.

We did the half day rather than full day but that wasn’t and option for this review. Our guides were Flore and Marine and they were awesome. The whole family loved it. Well organised experience from start to finish

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about history. She spoke fluent English. She was very engaging. However, the pick location was NOT clear!

Our guide, Aurelian, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The tour gave a very thorough overview and covered a lot of ground in a relatively short time. It was an excellent way to see Lourdes.
