"We were 3, including 2 who knew Orléans a bit and we were all 3 delighted with our long stroll. We learned a lot of things and made very beautiful discoveries throughout the afternoon. Agnès, our greeter, was fascinating and very friendly. We didn't know the concept of greeters and we were won over by this way of discovering a city."

"Estelle, super flexible in her welcome given our bike rental troubles, took us through surprising alleys and an old Orléans full of charm and stories. We had a wonderful time and discovered a cozy tea room. Thank you again for your concern about our cycling safety."

"We had a very good walk in the company of Anthony. We already knew some historical attractions of the city but Anthony always managed to pull an interesting anecdote out of his hat. I recommend him for his good cheer, his passion for Orléans is felt in his talk."
