We booked a trip with Noé on short notice and it turned out to be wonderful. He took us to the beautiful medieval village St-Guilhem le desert. I felt like in the novel " The name of the rose". Noé was an abundant source of information and very flexible with our interests. Next time we will plan more days with him and his company. Thank you very much, Noé.

My family and I took a vacation to the south of France this summer and had a fantastic experience. Before leaving the US, we asked our hotel for assistance planning local adventures, and they recommended we contact Noé at Follow My Zen. We are so glad we did! Noé not only made our trip logistically easier, he also created an amazing itinerary for us, full of local experiences that we never would have known to arrange on our own. Noé picked our jet-lagged group up directly from the train station after 36 hours of travel, and we all felt an immediate sense of relief and relaxation. Follow My Zen takes a highly personal approach - when we all slept past our alarms on the first day and were very late, Noé handled making last minute adjustments to our activities and treated us with a lot of empathy. Throughout our excursions, if an unexpected opportunity presented itself, or if we had to adapt to an immediate need, Noé was there to help us make anything happen. And the activities Noé arranged for us were awesome - very local, and incredibly special. He has bridged relationships with a large set of kind, talented, knowledgeable people who welcomed us and treated us like dear friends as they shared with us their local cultures. Noé planned activities for us in Montpellier, Marseille, and the countryside and coast in between. He also provided all the transportation in a very comfortable Mercedes van that accommodated all of us. Traveling with young children is difficult, but Follow My Zen made it as easy as could be, and my kids still talk about Noé like he's a family member. My mother, in her 70s, was also a part of our travel squad. In fact, we celebrated her birthday in France. Noé's ability to take care of everyone in our group, from the little ones to the big ones, is an impressive and special quality. We have so many fond memories of our time in France this summer, the experiences we had, and the amazing local people we met. We are very grateful to Noé and his company, Follow My Zen, for all they did for us. We have already been talking about returning next year to have Noé show us Barcelona and then explore Montpellier and the south of France more. Highly recommend Follow My Zen if you're traveling to the south of France.

Noe runs a fantastic and highly personalized private tour service. He is highly knowledgeable and connected to various tours in Southern France. What's more of a distinguishing advantage is that he is very sensible and understands the, sometimes, complex needs of travelers. He was very accommodating to the comfort and needs of a family touring multiple places with children. He is not intrusive and anticipates changes in itinerary with incredible flexibility. If we ever have the fortune to visit this part of the world again, we would definitely seek him again. We give him the highest recommendation possible without reservations, for any visitor to Southern France who is seeking a memorable journey.

We asked Noe to set up an 8-day itinerary for us covering as much of Provence as we could. A few things really set FollowMyZen apart from other luxury travel services: Local knowledge. They know this area inside and out and can recommend off-the-beaten-path recommendations for small villages, casual restaurants, and local markets. Customization: They can change itineraries on-the-fly. For example, we decided to go mountain biking one afternoon and Noe was able to secure 2 top of the line bikes for our ride thru beautiful coastal mountains. Personal care: They really go above and beyond. On one afternoon, Noe checked in with a local 3-star Michelin restaurant and found they had an opening – for a place that is normally booked months in advance. He casually asked if we wanted to dine there that evening and offered his services to take us to and from the restaurant. We find FollowMyZen to be the pinnacle of personalized luxury travel and would recommend them for anyone looking to experience the best of Provence.

Les prestations proposées et effectuées par cette agence sont excellentes. Notre chauffeur était très agréable et très professionnel. Nous étions installés confortablement et sa conduite est douce et prudente. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié les qualités humaines et narratives de notre guide, qui a su nous transporter dans l’histoire de Montpellier. C’était très captivant et intéressant. Elle nous a fait découvrir des endroits insolites. On sent son amour pour sa ville et elle nous a vraiment donné envie de revenir.

Noe was our guide and coordinator for 2 days in Montpellier. He was resourceful, knowledgable and an all around excellent ambassador for the area. We would highly recommend using his services.

Noe was the perfect guide for our recent trip through France. He was knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, was kind, accommodating and willing to go above and beyond to assure that my family and I had an amazing experience. There is no doubt that we will use him for our next European vacation. The trip would not been anywhere near as relaxing nor enjoyable without his expertise and guidance.

We stayed two nights in Montpellier and the hotel recommended Noe as a tourguide. We had a very nice day to Sete and a very good lunch (l’essentiel) at the beach all organized by Noe. The van was very comfortable and Noe is a pleasant guide.

J'ai eu le plaisir d'utiliser les services de Follow My Zen lors de mon séjour au domaine de Verchant le 23 Juillet 2021. Mr Noé Save, le dirigeant, a conçu pour mon épouse et moi même une excursion sur mesure avec pour objectif de découvrir Pézenas, ville de Molière et son patrimoine. Nous avons été enchantés de découvrir les hôtels particuliers de la ville et de visiter les expositions reflets de la richesse de l'artisanat local. Merci pour cette plongée dans le patrimoine et le savoir - faire occitan. Joël BRUGOT
