Very pleasant and complete city tour
21matthieua, Jan 2024
The La Rochelle city tour has been an excellent way to get to know the city's identity. We found its architecture wonderful and the charm of its streets and monuments captivated us. We also visited the market, where we tasted local products. Everything has happened in the estimated time and we thank our guide for the knowledge he has given us. Greetings!
