Our Services to Travel Professionals
Your trusted local partner in France
Whether you're a tour operator, travel designer, DMC, travel agency, educational institution, event planner or transport company, Détours & Guides provides reliable, professional support to help you deliver exceptional travel experiences throughout France.
Our role goes far beyond guiding. We become your local partner on the ground, bringing together expert knowledge, operational support, cultural interpretation and an extensive network of trusted professionals. From designing bespoke itineraries or excursions to coordinating logistics or reviewing your itineraries from a field expertise point of view, providing official guides or accompanying groups as tour leaders, we work alongside you to ensure every project runs smoothly.
Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of France's regions, and our carefully selected network of guides, tour leaders, drivers, artisans, producers and cultural institutions, we create authentic experiences that meet the expectations of today's travellers while respecting local communities and the environment.
Whether you need support for a single walking tour, a day, a complete itinerary, or a long-term partnership, we adapt to your way of working and become an extension of your team.
Our commitment is simple: professional expertise built from the field up, responsive communication, operational reliability and memorable experiences that reflect the highest standards of the French tourism industry.
Official Tourist Guides
Our network of certified Guides-Conférenciers provides professional guiding services throughout France, whether for a single museum visit, a city tour, a multi-day itinerary or an entire tour programme.
Carefully selected for their expertise, language and communication skills, our guides bring destinations to life through engaging storytelling, cultural interpretation and seamless guest interaction.
Whether you require one guide or a coordinated team across several cities, villages or regions, we ensure the right guide for the right group.
Let's discuss your project and find the perfect guide for your itinerary.
Tour Leaders
A successful journey depends as much on organisation as it does on destination.
Our experienced tour leaders accompany groups throughout their journey, ensuring smooth logistics, clear communication and a welcoming atmosphere from arrival to departure.
Working closely with drivers, hotels, local suppliers and guides, managing group dynamics and fostering trust and friendship, they allow your clients to relax while every detail is professionally managed.
Tell us about your group and we'll recommend the right tour leader for your project.
Unique Experience Design
Today's travellers are looking for more than sightseeing—they seek authentic moments, meaningful encounters and memorable stories.
We design bespoke cultural experiences that encourage curiosity, learning and genuine human connection. From artisan workshops and local food discoveries to exclusive visits, educational programmes and immersive activities, every experience is created around your clients' interests while supporting local communities and responsible tourism.
The result is travel that is engaging, distinctive and impossible to replicate with standard itineraries.
Let's create experiences your travellers will remember long after they return home.
TOs and TAs
Whether you're developing a new programme or refining an existing one, we offer local expertise to help you create itineraries that are both operationally efficient and culturally meaningful.
Drawing on our extensive knowledge of destinations, logistics and trusted local partners, we can design complete programmes, review existing itineraries or recommend improvements that enhance quality, pacing and guest experience.
Our itineraries can be delivered independently by your own team or fully supported by Carte Blanche Tours through our network of guides, tour leaders and local partners.
Let's work together to create exceptional journeys across France.
