Passionate about travel and history… After four years living in Lyon, our passion for travel and history has evolved beyond a simple intellectual interest. It is a dedication that motivates us to share our knowledge and to awaken in others the same fascination, through enriching tours and talks. Our mission is to convey that history is much more than a collection of dates and events; it is a window to the past, a journey that immerses us in diverse eras and cultures, exploring their triumphs and challenges, achievements and failures. In each experience we offer, we seek to make each place visited transport you back in time. With each step, we invite you to immerse yourself in the ancient civilizations that once flourished in these lands, admiring their imposing architecture and unraveling the mysteries surrounding their creation. We have had the privilege of conducting tours in diverse and fascinating destinations in France, Mexico and the Caribbean. From medieval cities like Pérouges and Avignon, with their historic architecture and majestic walls, to the majestic pyramids of Teotihuacán and the archaeological sites of Mexico City. We also explore the impressive Mayan pyramids of Chichén Itzá, Tulum and the wonders of Mitla and Monte Albán in Oaxaca. In addition, we have sailed through the paradisiacal Caribbean destinations of Curaçao, Aruba and St. Maarten, reliving the era of pirates. Our goal is for you to enjoy your trip to the fullest, immersing yourself in each destination with a deep and enriching look.
