Elvira is a wonderful guide who loves Montpellier, its people and its many dogs so she was amazing at showing me the various neighborhoods I was interested in visiting and learning about. She is kind, well informed and an excellent communicator so I highly recommend her.
Excellent Tour of Neighborhoods

Elvira was a wonderful guide who showed me the neighborhoods I was interested in looking at for potentially relocating to Montpellier. She has a wealth of knowledge, is a really positive and fun person who loves dogs and really made the tour extremely enjoyable. Elvira was also a very good communicator ahead of our walk, and I highly recommend her.
Interesting tour with a seasoned guide.

Very interesting, thoughtful and kind guide. She knows the city well and is not stingy with her comments. It was very hot during our visit and she adapted well to make us feel comfortable.
Too good to be true -- stay away from Guideze

We wanted an introductory walking tour of Montpellier the morning after our arrival. This product offered endlessly flexible times, a long tour, and a low price. That combination should have warned us off. The evening before the tour we received a message that while they had taken our money and confirmed our booking, the guide was not available in the morning but only in the afternoon. Needless to say, this wrecked our plans for learning about the town, then having lunch, and having the afternoon free. So a very bad start. Then we met our guide. The nicest young person possible, just not really a tour guide. She was a student who had arrived in Montpellier last fall from Turkey, knew nothing about the city nor its history. She was looking for a job off the books and had landed on this gig job. While that is all admirable, it really was not suitable for the product we were buying. But I do not fault her. The problem is with the company and I believe Trip Advsior, who owns the site where we found the tour. We generally use ToursbyLocals, where the guides are professionals, the prices are higher, and where in my experience they cannot meet your needs (such as not being available at the time you request) they let you know. I have learned my lesson

Hi Larry, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry for the disruption to your plans and for the disappointing experience with the guide.

Please accept our sincere apologies, and we hope you’ll consider giving us the opportunity to offer a much-improved experience in the future. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team
Itinerary
Place de la Comedie
The square is first mentioned in 1755 and is named after a theatre that burned down in 1785 and 1855.
The Place became the focal point of the city when, in the mid-19th century the railway station Gare de Montpellier Saint-Roch was built some 200 metres (660 ft) south of it. At that time, a smaller train going to the nearby beach at Palavas-les-Flots also had its provenance on the Place.
10 minutesPalais de Justice
Discover the history of Montpellier's famous courthouse with your local guide.
20 minutesEglise Saint-Roch
Eglise Saint-Roch or sanctuaire Saint-Roch is a church in the heart of Montpellier, France, built in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. It is recognized as a diocesan sanctuary by the Montpellier diocese of the Catholic Church. It is dedicated to Saint Roch, a native of the town and a healer of plague victims and pilgrims.
30 minutesAmphiteatre Anatomique St-Come
The building was the brainchild of surgeon François de Lapeyronie. He bequeathed part of his fortune to build an anatomy amphitheater similar to the one at the Collège Saint-Côme in Paris.
30 minutesPlace de la Canourgue
The square is located in the Écusson sub-district, the city's historic center, part of the Centre-Ville district. It is 100 meters long and 35 meters wide, covering 2,895 m2. It has five access streets, three on its south-western side, one on its north-eastern side, which gives access to two staircases leading up to the square, and one which reaches the middle of the square, running alongside the Hôtel Richer de Belleval.
30 minutesCathedrale St. Pierre
The cathedral was originally the church of the monastery of Saint-Benoît, which was founded in 1364. The building was elevated to the status of cathedral in 1536, when the see of Maguelonne was transferred to Montpellier. After the building suffered extensive damage during the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the 17th.
30 minutesHotel de la Prefecture
You'll pass the historic Hôtel de la Préfecture building. One of the first buildings constructed in Montpellier
