WHAT OUR PASSENGERS HAVE TO SAY

"Dear Daniel,
The trip we have just completed with you was indeed amazing and both Nols and I could not at any stage fault the programme or the crew - just fabulous. And as for your own performance you are truly king of the Canal du Midi and in the addition the most wonderful chef - the food was fabulous. Chris and Angie were also amazing and Chris's history really was so important to myself and the other guests. His KNOWLEDGE is truly fantastic!! See you in Australia soon?"

Mike Pelly

"Wow! What a glorious week of exquisite food, delectable wines, remarkable sites, and your delicious company. An unforgettable experience aboard the Tango cruising along the Canal du Midi. Thank you for all your TLC to your Hawaii guests.

Irene Croft, Hawaii

"Some people come into your life and stay for awhile, others pass through briefly and leave a lasting impression. Our memories of our 'Tango' on the Canal du Midi --- Wonderful Wine, Fabulous Food, Captivating Countryside. Daniel's competence (at everything!), late night conversation and patience with our stories and questions (does the water for the Canal really come from the Atlantic?!) Thanks for the fun and memories..."

David Humphreville and family, New York

"To Daniel and Crew, Thank you all so much for leading us on this great adventure through Languedoc. Your fine hospitality made this a vacation we will treasure always. The food, wine, history, wonderful scenery, great weather, and bike rides will all be missed. The trip has gone by in a flash and we can't believe we really must leave. Are you sure you don't need some more crew on board? Thank you again."

Thomas and Julie Bozzell, Washington D.C.

With this captivating landscape unrolling like a private movie around me, each day passes by. The routine onboard is happily shaped by the rhythm of meals: late lazy breakfasts, followed by long lunches, afternoon canap}s, and three course dinners, with some local cheesetasting thrown in (the cost of the trip is all inclusive - which means as much French wine tasting as desired). Sitting on a barge travelling at walking speed, a million miles from fast-paced city stresses, has to be one of the best ways to see this countryside, but a week with Canals of France also includes land-tours to some of the more intriguing local attractions. The covered food markets at the ancient roman city of Narbonne are a welcome excursion. With the food and wine flowing and the French country-side floating past, the week is over before I am ready...

There are many barging companies that will take you along the Canal du Midi. What makes a trip with Canals of France speical is the attention to detail and the small number of guests on board.
