Hello and Goodbye

I joined and enjoyed the French tour with charming Claude and a lovely group, found the 2 hours not enough.
Dominique the organiser is an unpleasant person (or simply racist), all in all I would look for other operators next time

We thank you for taking the time to give your opinion and pass on your compliments to Claude, the guide who accompanied you. We are surprised and shocked to learn that the operator in place that day made racist remarks towards you. This behavior is reprehensible and we would like to have more details on this point. You can write to us by email at this address [email protected]. The satisfaction of our customers being our priority, we cannot accept this kind of behavior under any circumstances. I would like to point out that we were unable to find your telephone number because we only have your pseudonym
Great Guide

We were fortunate to get a great guide who was interested in birds, nature and gave a lot of info about the past and present of fauna and flora in the camargue.
Very friendly staff and nice trip

Amazing experience.
We had the Italian speaking driver and tour guide Claudio.
He was very nice. Explained so many things.
Not that the route is on dirty land and road. He took us to visit many historical places as well. We loved all the detailed information .
Highway recommend!
Looking over a farmer's fence is not a safari
jameshW9555HN, Dec 2024
As someone who loves taking photos I was looking for a sunrise start, which wasn't on offer. Earliest tour was 10am.
The first 75mins of the two hours was spent birdwatching. You will see some birds but most are a loooonnnng way away - so if you don't have binoculars (they are not provided) it's incredibly dull. Maybe I'm the idiot for not bringing them - but they don't warn you.
Second issue is the location they take you to for the morning tour - being East-facing you're squinting straight into the sun so photography is nigh on impossible. If you are into birds I would go to the Ornithological Park up the road and see them up close.
But I was really on this tour to see Carmargue horses in pretty landscape.
Spoiler alert: if you come to the Carmargue you cannot fail to see horses as you drive through the region. The Carmargue has white horses like London has red buses.
I was also excited to see bulls - which I did see when the driver pulled up to a farmers fence for us to peer over. This is something you could do from your own car while playing a YouTube video to give you the background facts. With a bit of prior research you could save yourself some cash.
Looking over a farmers fence - is not by my understanding of the definition 'a safari'.
Maybe my expectations were just way off.
If you had dreams of coming away with pics of wading flamingoes, rugged rancheros herding bulls or cowboys driving horses for a morning gallop through a pretty stream, expect to come away as disappointed as me.
We all know the bulls and horses don't roam free here but little effort has gone into the planning of this tour.

We think, Sir, that you simply chose the wrong country. Here in Camargue the sun does not rise at 10am but much earlier, by doing a search on “Youtube” you might have been able to realize this and therefore take a private tour by asking for an early morning departure at sunrise.
The people you were able to observe on horseback are neither Rancheros nor Cowboys but Guardians faithful to their customs, loving their horses and their bulls, they are respectful of extensive breeding to preserve the breed.
The guides who accompany you are there to comment on the tour and answer your questions and expectations. They are people passionate about their profession who do not hesitate to stop to allow you to approach and understand nature; because nature exists, and it is nature that commands!
It is a shame for you that you missed out on this beautiful experience.
Good birding guidence

The guide knew exactly where to find the birds! Afterwards i could add about 9 new species to my list
