Great Hike in the French Alps
U7243NFjoeh, Dec 2024
Cyril was amazing, he was so funny and knowledgeable as well. We enjoyed the hike and all the information he gave. We stopped into some villages that were perfect for lunch and seeing the local culture. He also taught us the local version of Bocci Ball where one of our group members drew a crowd, it was one of the highlights of the trip, thanks for making it great!
Amazing views!

We had a wonderful time learning about the history of Annot and Entraveaux. Cyril is an incredible tour guide and clearly knows the area and many of the local people, which made for a more personalized experience.
