Wine afternoons in Chateau Neuf de Pape
A sensational guide combining the knowledge of a vigneron with the wit and charm of a born raconteur. We had a great trip to one of the largest chateaus in Chateau Neuf de Pape and a wonderful cave for tastings. The winemakers were exceptional and the wine delicious. Highly recommend

An introduction to the local cuisine
The Taste of Avignon tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Avignon. Our guide took us to four different locations around the city, each offering a unique and delicious taste of the local food culture.
We started with appetizers at the local market, where we sampled fresh regional specialties while learning about the history and traditions behind them. Next, we enjoyed a memorable lunch at a charming local café, featuring a wonderfully rich baked cheese dish that was both comforting and authentic.
Our third stop was a long-established patisserie, where we indulged in exquisite desserts that showcased the craftsmanship and heritage of French pastry making. The tour concluded at a local honey and nougat shop, where we sampled outstanding artisanal products.
Every stop offered something new and delicious, and the variety of experiences made the tour feel both immersive and well-paced. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the local food scene, which added tremendous value to the experience.
My only minor criticism is that the tour included just one drink with lunch. Given the quality and generosity of the food offerings, it would have been nice if an additional beverage or tasting had been included along the way. Even so, this was a phenomenal experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Avignon through its food, history, and local culture.

A specular tour of some of Provenance’s most beautiful villages!
Our tour provided a half day of spectacular views of some of Provenance’s beautiful villages! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the region, friendly and made our tour, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Avignon.

Awesome Chateau Neuf
Our tour guide Adam had an excellent knowledge of the CHateau Neuf Du Pape region and it's wines as well as those of the Rhone valley as well. The two tastings we did were extremely good especially at Chateau Fortia. Adam was also very knowledge about the history of the area and gave us a very good narrative explaining it and it's relationship to the wines of the region. Excellent trip.

Expert tour guide
Gordana was absolutely incredible. We would’ve never been able to see Provence like that without her. She gave great recommendations and we got to see so much of the region. It was a beautiful tour and we are so grateful that we used her! Would definitely recommend!!

Châteauneuf du Pape Wine tasting and winery tour
We cannot recommend this tour enough! Emile was an incredible guide, sharing his wealth of knowledge and doing so in a really pleasant and friendly manner. The tour lasted 4 hours and we saw 2 amazing vineyards in CNdP and had a very pleasing amount of delicious wine. At each vineyard we were very grateful to spend at least an hour with very knowledgeable guides, we saw so much inside and outside (we don’t want to give too much away!) and learnt so much about the region. 5 stars doesn’t do this tour justice!

Great wine tour!
Clemence met us near the Palace of the Pope at 9:30 and drove us in a nice van (our tour started at 4 with 2 others joining after lunch) that had good AC (95F day) and plenty of space. Quick drive to our first winery in Chateauneuf de Pape, which was the smallest of the day. Tour of the part of the vineyard and great discussion on the soil and stone utilized for the 8 red and 5 white grapes. The 4 tasted wines were excellent. We then visited another beautiful winery and able to taste both red and whites. Clemence dropped us off at a beautiful hotel/winery for lunch with a beautiful view (approx 35-40e pp w/1 wine). After lunch we met again to visit another winery and then a final stop at their wine cave/store in the historic village. Back to Avignon just anfter 5pm. All wineries were great and welcoming - recommend the tour and Clemence as host!

Fabulous small group tour of Provence
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Perfect amount of time spent in each place to get a good sense of various aspects of Provence. So nice that it was just a group of eight people, in a nicely air conditioned van. Beautiful scenic route between Fontaine de Vaucluse and Gordes. Our guide, Kelsey, was absolutely fantastic. A skilled and very safe driver, she was so knowledgeable and courteous and taught us so much about the area and all of the sites, in English and in French. I really enjoyed that. She taught us about the environment, history, culture, food, people... and so much more! She was gracious enough to always offer to take photos of everyone in the group at key scenic points. Highly highly recommend this tour.

A brilliant trip with guide Anne
An excellent experience. Anne was a brilliant guide and was very knowledgeable. The theatre was interesting, the wine tasting very nice and the Pont du Gard was just amazing. We both really enjoyed it. I’d pay more to have food at the wine tasting but that’s just personal preference. It was a great trip with plenty of time to do everything so I would recommend it. Especially if you get Anne as your guide!

Best wine tour ever
This tour was so much more than a normal wine tasting. Our guide Arlo was very knowledgeable on the wines in Provence and the smaller regions. It gave us a deeper appreciation wine making. The lunch with local food was a highlight. The wine area of Chateauneuf du Pape is beautiful. We had such an enjoyable day.

Excellent Day Trip
We appreciated this day tour because it meant that we could sit back and enjoy the view. Our wonderful guide, Ghislain, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable, friendly and even took us to a place not described in the official description of the tour, just because someone in our group requested it.
St Rémy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence (my favourite) and the fascinating Pont du Gard should not be missed.

Lavender South of France
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Sam, grew up in the area and knew it like the back of his hand. The places he took us to were in full bloom and gave us a wonderful sense of the world of lavender. This was a bucket list thing, so put a check mark on that.
