Things to do in Montpellier, Occitanie: The Best City Tours

February 26, 2022 Renato Branum

Getting sick on vacation is a major drag, but if you have to be under the weather, Montpellier is an ideal place to do it. People have studied medicine here for centuries—the Moors established medical schools in the 9th century, and the Université Montpellier’s school of medicine was founded in 1220. Once the local docs give you a clean bill of health, explore the cathedral, mansions and opera house.

Unfortunately i have to leave a bad review for this experience. First bad review i have ever written! Based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor , i have booked this experience as a part of my & husbands Wedding Anniversary South of France Road trip - as a highlight of the trip. Before i booked this , i have noticed that the same Person-Bertrand offers multiple tours in same day and some of them even clash .For example ours was at 5pm and supposed to be few hours ,but then there was another one @ 3pm for few hours and also more in the same day. Initially i assumed they will be hosted by different people. Even though all the reviews i saw ,mentioned just Bertrand. So i booked this and later on got a confirmation that this is available and it's booked. That was two weeks before the trip. So day before the actual tour ,i got a message from Bertrand saying that can we change it for the next day because of his "another job" ! I replied that unfortunately it wouldn't be possible because we are in Montpellier just for one night because we are on the road trip! He just said he can't because of the problem with another work. When i explained the situation to him again, he wouldn't respond anymore. I had a look on tripadvisor again(on Viator on also other websites) , and can see there are a lot of tours he offers on the same day ! I have asked this to him-does he just trying to maximise his chances of bookings and then just moving them all to one ?As it looked like that IS his another job .He didn't respond. I tried to call-no answer.I have cancelled just to make sure i get a refund. I do understand that things happen and i would normally accept this as just part of life situation. But seeing that this same person hosts multiple tours in the same time is just ridiculous! Also trying to change it on the day before when we had no chance to rebook it with someone else! And no proper communication or even apology of the cancellation. Maybe i'm the only one who experienced this, i don't know. So yeah ,thanks Bertrand for ruining most important part of our trip!
