Our tour guide David was well versed in his subject matter. There were some amazing sights. This tour is not for those with restricted walking skills - the terrain is quite slippery in parts and with uneven surfaces. David kept us well informed of what standard to expect at each site.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback on the excursion to the cirque de Navacelles. The first part of the circuit is accessible to all, but it's true that the short hike to see the moulins de la Foux requires a 1/2 hour walk out and 1/2 hour uphill on the way back. And there are also walks from time to time. But as you say, you can wait a while by the waterfall or in a café in season. With pleasure david

Wonderful trip with super guide

Thanks Gabriela, I hope your photos turn out well. I hope to see you again in Montpellier and its region for new tours. There are still a few places to immortalize! david

Well organized trip!...

Well organized trip! The guide explains everything with great pleasure and passion. You will have plenty of time to look around, ask questions and possibly take pictures. You always go by car to the different places. If you have difficulty walking, alternatives will be provided. You even have the opportunity to swim (and dive) in the waterfalls in between. I recommend the trip zeze with this organization!!

Franchement, nous sommes...

Franchement, nous sommes unanimes, cette excursion est extra ! Nous voyons de supers paysages et découvrons un moulin à l'horizontale avec David, un guide bienveillant qui aime et connaît bien la région. On a adoré la jolie ballade d'une heure environ, nous étions quatre, un des nôtres est resté au repos pas loin du parking car blessé au pied donc ne pouvant pas faire cette ballade. Tout a été parfait, merci David ! Je recommande sans hésitation !

Merci de votre avis sur l'excursion au cirque de Navacelles. L'après midi pour se rendre au moulins de la Foux il y a une petite randonnée à faire qui peut être facile pour certain et plus difficile pour d'autre. Sachez que en petit groupe comme avec vous les personnes qui ne se sente pas en mesure peuvent attendre au bord de la cascade ou dans le village.

Excellente excursion!...

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Merci merci je vois que tu as bien écouté ! C'est vrai que je conseille fortement d'etre curieux et d'aller voir l'arriere pays et de ne pas se contenter des plages et des grandes villes touristiques . A tres vite
