A Montpellier meeting not to be missed! Fantastic ! - A must do in Montpellier! Whether we are from Montpellier or a tourist, Benoit Ramos offers us a unique tour of the city and his voice transports us between History and stories. I have already done three of his narrated walks and I have always been enchanted (and so were the people who accompanied me!).

A visit like no other! - A visit like no other, with an exciting guide! Benoît made us dream, shiver and laugh thanks to tales and legends, and I also learned lots of things about Montpellier even though I have lived there for more than 10 years! I have done the visit several times with friends and family, it is never the same because the route and the stories can change from one time to the next thanks to the participatory voting system. Everyone was delighted every time, I recommend with my eyes closed!

We highly recommend! - We have already done several of the tours offered by Taliesin, with family and couples, and it never disappoints! A good time strolling through the streets of Montpellier, listening to amusing anecdotes and colorful legends. We will be guided with pleasure in this other hidden and imaginary Montpellier.

An unforgettable visit - I make this visit again and again with renewed pleasure each time (I must have made it 5 or 6 times). Every chance I get, I discover new stories. Benoît is a seasoned storyteller who brings to life these stories that until now had been forgotten. I highly recommend it.
