Having now returned home, I wanted to again thank you for providing a very memorable and enjoyable food tour in Sète. Having spent two weeks between Rome and Barcelona, I can say without hesitation that Sète was a favorite city and yours our very favorite tour.
This was one of our favorite tours on our two week trip. Nancy creates a great, intimate experience that really gives you a flavor pun intended for life in Sete. It’s a great tour!
Our guide Nancy was welcoming and very informative. A unique insight to the regions food and wines. Highly recommended.
Our small group met at the central square (Kiosk) and we visited 6 studios of different artists in the city. All of them were present, waiting for us to arrive and explained their work in detail. Our guide Debra gave us lots of useful information of the city, its festivals and about the artists during… the walk. When we arrived each artist shared their stories and told us about their unique methods and upcoming shows and exhibitions. It was a wonderful experience well worth the small price! They are preparing another tour in the Quartier Haut, and I’m sure to subscribe as soon as it is launched! N.B. Bring comfortable walking shoes, take lots of photos of these hidden gems and a bottle of water!!! Read more “Fantastic visit with the artists present in their studios!”
A wonderful tour with Nancy. Interesting and fun with amazing gourmet food stops along the way. Highly recommended for visiters to Montpellier.
Nous avons fait la visite des ateliers d’artistes et nous avons adoré. Nous avons apprécié de pouvoir entrer dans leur univers. Notre guide Eva était une mine de renseignements, toujours attentive à nos interrogations.
We used Nancy for a walking gourmet tour in Sète for our guests and it was even better than expected. We had a great welcome making us feel instantly comfortable, the tour itself combined history with the most amazing market experience. I will not giver away her secrets, you need to book for yourself but… our guests talked about it all week. We cannot wait to introduce our next guests to Nancy and her team. Read more “Wow!!!”
My wife and I had a wonderful time with Nancy!! She is knowledgeable and a very nice person. All the food that we tried was delicious. A picturesque place to visit.
The Sete market is a wonderful experience and our guide knows many of the vendors. We sampled lots of unusual goodies and learned a great deal about specialties of the area.
The tour was great Nancy was fantastic answered all our questions well worth the price a real insight into the food of Sete and the region.
My husband and I did the Art Scene Experience tour in Séte with Debra as our guide. We were fortunate to visit 6 different studios as part of the experience. Each of the artists was unique in their techniques and mediums. I won’t go into detail because I can’t do them justice and also the… studios may not be the same on other tours. We didn’t buy any art on the tour. You are not obligated to, but if you decide to do this tour, you’ll certainly find things you’ll want to buy so be sure to take your credit card. Debra did a great job translating when necessary and she gave us some great tips about Séte festivals, of which there are many. The artists were welcoming and open. They all let us take photos, although some asked us not to post them online which is understandable. If you’re in Séte, be sure to sign up for this experience. You will be glad you did!

Her tour was the best we enjoyed while on our 24-day trip in Europe and we will recommend her to all our friends. People we were travelling with were envious when we told them how she had opened our eyes to what goes on behind the food scene in Sete,
I have M.S. and use an electric wheelchair. Our cruise was docking in Sete, Provence, France and I
searched online for an excursion that indicated it was wheelchair accessible. When I read about this
one I booked it and was so pleased.
