Delighted by our visit to Poitiers with Paul, co-host of Larry. We could not have appreciated Poitiers without his explanations. Time has passed far too fast. We strongly recommend discovering Poitiers with Paul or Larry.
A good tour!

A city tour through the center of Poitiers along various places from the rich French history. Led by an enthusiastic, multilingual guide with a lot of knowledge which he was able to explain in a fun way.

Coming from Senegal, I've visited many cities in France, but none compare to Poitiers. This city is just emblematic and full of histories. Larry and Paul took me back to medieval times, walking through streets and cathedrals. I'll have plenty to talk about when I get home, and I'd recommend this activity to anyone. Thanks again for this amazing experience.

Larry’s knowledge of Poitiers is vast and deep, and he shares these with his guests in stories, facts, and directing attention to must-see views and details. Poitiers holds a special place in religious and cultural history, and Larry puts his guests into this history with his personable style of delivery. This tour is a must-do to truly know Poitiers.
Really interesting tour with Larry

We were able to discover many places that I did not know, such as Poitiers Cathedral, the tomb of a queen of France etc. A real good time!
