Clémence "Clemence was an excellent and personable guide. Very good at explaining the area we visited and also very patient and accommodating as one of the tour members had a some difficulty with all the stairs in the old section. I would highly recommend her and take another tour with her if in Lyon again." Anne S., March 2016 Viriginie "We’ve been touring Beaujolais with Unique Tours Factory and they’ve been very accomodating. We called last minute and they arranged this fantastic tour for us on the very next morning. We had wine tour and tasted one of the best desserts in southern France and we had a great tour. And our tour guide has been most helpfull and great translator. » Gary C. Canada, June 2016
