Passionate about travel and history... After seven years living in Lyon, our passion for travel and history has evolved beyond a simple intellectual interest. It's a dedication that motivates us to share our knowledge and awaken the same fascination in others through enriching tours and talks. Our mission is to convey that history is much more than a collection of dates and events; it's a window to the past, a journey that immerses us in diverse eras and cultures, exploring their triumphs and challenges, achievements and failures. In every experience we offer, we strive to transport you back in time to each place you visit. With every step, we invite you to immerse yourself in the ancient civilizations that once flourished in these lands, admiring their imposing architecture and unraveling the mysteries surrounding their creation. We have had the privilege of leading tours in diverse and fascinating destinations in France, Mexico, and the Caribbean. From medieval cities like Pérouges and Avignon, with their historic architecture and famous ramparts, to the majestic pyramids of Teotihuacan and the archaeological sites of Mexico City. We also explore the impressive Mayan pyramids of Chichen Itza and Tulum, and the wonders of Mitla and Monte Alban in Oaxaca. Furthermore, we've sailed the paradisiacal Caribbean destinations of Curaçao, Aruba, and St. Maarten, reliving the era of famous pirates. Our goal is for you to fully enjoy your trip, immersing yourself in each destination with a deep and enriching perspective.
