Don’t miss this tour - We had a wonderful experience, Kevin our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The Dunes are a must see and the oysters, well they are indescribably delicious. The town of Arcachon has a diverse history and the architects of the old city is amazing. Climb the tower, 25 meters and gaze upon the bay and city. Highly recommended!

Not to be missed! - We had a great time! Our driver, Kevin, was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the area and brought us to a great oyster restaurant after our climb up to the top of the dune. This is not to be missed when traveling in Bordeaux. Highly recommended.

A memorable experience - It was a wonderful experience. We had enough time to experience the sights and enjoy the oyster tasting in an almost private setting, no rush at all. Kevin was very accommodating when one wanted just a few more moments along the way. The Dune du Pilat is a sight that should not be missed when visiting the area.

Fantastic Experience! - What a fantastic experience! Dune du Pilat and the views from the Dune are truly breathtaking. We felt like locals in the oyster cafe as there was no other tourists, and the food was fabulous. Kevin our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and an all round nice guy. I highly recommend this trip to Dune du Pilat.

Kevin was a great host. ... - Kevin was a great host. We arrived early at the dune after being picked up at our hotel before the crowds and heat which is nice. It was also nice to explore where the locals eat.

Not professional and unreliable! - Do not trust this tour operator! They are unreliable and unprofessional. They cancelled our trip at the last minute and we did not have time to arrange another tour due to full bookings. They cancalled due to 'rain' although it did not rain very much. This has been our most disappointing part of France and to date we still have not received our refund. Do not listen to their response to my review, it will be excuses and rubbish! Not happy at all.
